Ladies sing your heart(s) out

That was the title of the show we went and saw in New York this weekend. Khalila's great grandparents were in the show. She calls them Bubbe and Poppoppop, expanded a bit from the original Poppop. The play was all about an audition and it was set in the 40's. I happen to be a fan of much of that music, so I enjoyed lipsynching a bit. We all laughed as it was hilarious, also entertaining. During intermission Lili jumped up onstage and grabbed the Clark Gable photo and started singing "I love you, I love you" imitating the actress who had held the photo and sang "You made me love you" and she did some dancing and other imitations.

They were happy to have Khalila there. It was a hard weekend as they had a memorial service for a dear friend and wonderful man named Roger. Prayers to his family and friends. Bubbe and Poppop are so inspiring and absolutely wonderful, they are in their 80's and work out everyday, in this show that runs 9 times, and members of many many things. I love them dearly and am grateful that they are in my life, and particularly glad Khalila has them as great grandparents. All of my grandparents died before Khalila decided to bless my life so I have no great grandparents to give her.
