~ Master Of The House ~

I went to see Les Miserables........in Dallas.......with Michael's sisters. We have been talking and thought it would be good to go see it together. We decided to meet half way~ lol~ I flew 3 hours and they drove 3 hours to Dallas.

Mike was such a liar!!!! His sisters, Janet and Vicki, are nicer than nice can be. I kind of knew that already! I mean.....they put up with him, didn't they?!!! We talked a lot....some about him....about growing up...about our families.....we crocheted and knitted.....and ate.....and talked some more.....and ate.....we talked fashion.....you know.....like when to wear black and when not to~ We talked about history....mostly about presidents~ I even learned some new things! 

They were kind enough to bring me the scrapbook I had made for their brother. They also brought all the cards I made him. I couldn't believe he still had them. There were also some other odds and ends along with pictures. It was quite a treat~ Before I left, I also got to meet Vicki's beautiful daughter and sweet grandchildren!

As for the movie, we went prepared. I brought each of us a pack of tissues. I felt kind of bad because, although I LOVED the movie and want to see it again, it was getting toward the end and I couldn't imagine myself crying. Then they started Bring Him Home.....and still nothing. It didn't sound right. I looked over at Vicki and she was sobbing. By the second verse, I lost it too. I was glad when the song was over and I cleaned myself up! Well that was short-lived, because I cried two more times! Michael and I would talk/e-mail all the time about musicals. We'd talk about this one or that one.....which one was the latest craze....and we'd always end up talking about Les Mis.....Our Favorite! Nothing ever compared. He loved loved loved the innkeeper and his wife and Master of the House. This was his favorite version.

I also wanted to share our before and after pictures. Before the movie, we kind of had to whore ourselves out to find someone to take our picture. I, of course, was too shy to ask anyone. One of the sisters, who shall be nameless, Vicki, was not! It's kind of hard to see the sign above our heads, but it's the name of the movie!

Afterwards, a woman kindly took our picture outside. The horrid person said, right before she took the first picture (which I'm not posting!), "Okay! CRY!!!!" And so I did!!!!!! We had been wiping up our tears.....and blowing our noses.....to get ready to take a picture.....and she tells us to cry! The nerve!!!!!
