Happy Fourth of July!!!!!!!!

Hello Family and Friends! :) I hope you're all feeling happy and well today! Happy Fourth of July to everyone!

Wow! It was so very hot here last week! You can really tell that it's Summer! We are getting great audiences for the show. It's so much fun. There are a few more little kids at the show during the summer, too, and that's so neat to get to talk with them. They're so cute. I love it, because they tell you the absolute truth about what they think! It's great!

Well, Tim and I got to do something different than our normal, busy routine on Saturday. I don't know if you've heard about it; but a New York based comedian named Mark Malkoff spent the entire month of June on AirTran Airways. He lived on the planes and never left the tarmac for anything. Well, I was contacted and asked if I would come and sing a song for Mark and his wife, Christine, when they landed in Branson. I didn't know what to think at first, but researched it a bit and decided to do it. (Part of my research was running it by my mom!) :) It turned out to be so much fun! Mark and Christine are very kind people and so easy to talk to. It was a fun opportunity for Tim and I to do together! Tim played the guitar and I sang a special version of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" that was tailored especially for Mark's AirTran adventure. Tim also got to climb a rock wall on the tarmac with Mark and Bob Nelson, a comedian originally from New York, and now has his own show here in Branson. :) It was really a different and enjoyable day!

Have a fabulous Fourth of July and be safe! Watch for the children and enjoy our independence. It is truly an amazing and wonderful thing. Thank you to all of the veterans and everyone serving in our Armed Forces. We are safe because of each and every one of you! God bless you all! Thank you for visiting. :)

Sincerely, your friend,
Cassandre' :)

Summer is here!

Hello there Family and Friends! :) I hope you're all feeling great and having a lovely day! I'm doing well and am excited about the show! :)

We had another amazing week of shows. It's just so great getting to meet all of you. I actually met a lady, today, that was born in Latvia! You get to see people from all over the United States, and really, the world. It's so neat.

I have shows on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3:00, at the New Americana Theatre, but when I'm not doing that, I am out promoting all over the place. :) It's a lot of hard work, but so rewarding and enjoyable for me. I have met many other entertainers in Branson, and it's been a joy to get to know them. There are so many kind people out there and it's a blessing to be around them.

I'm hoping to get in some golf this weekend, so we'll have to see about that. :) It's important for me to balance everything with a busy schedule, and that includes my hobbies! Golf, is a big one! I would like to get back to my crocheting, too, so I'll have to remember that! Do you ever have free time and you can't think of what it was that you wanted to do? That happens to me sometimes. Goodness. :)

God bless you all and have a great week! It's always nice to hear from you, so please come and say hello! Have safe travels and watch for the children playing this summer! Try to stay cool in the heat. Thanks so much for visiting!

Sincerely,
Cassandre' :)

Golfing and things! :)

Hello Family and Friends! :) I hope you're all feeling well and happy when you read this. :)

Well, it was another busy week, but so much fun! The shows are going great! It's amazing to have my own schedule and getting to go all over town and meet new people. I didn't know what to expect in starting my own show, but I'm so glad that I had the opportunity! The songs that we are performing are all so different that it keeps things interesting for everyone. :) I'm teaching a lot of voice lessons outside of the show, too, and that's a lot of fun.

I actually got to go golfing today and enjoy the beautiful weather! I parred a couple of holes and found more golf balls than I lost, so that turned out well. :) I also got to see a momma duck and her little ducklings in a pond on the golf course. They were so cute and so tiny. One of the aspects of golf that I enjoy most is being outside and getting to see things like that. It's so relaxing.

I was so happy that the weather was so wonderful today since it was quite rainy yesterday afternoon. When I drove in to work it was raining so hard that you had to drive very slow, but by the time the show was done, it had cleared up and was sunny and calm. Amazing!

God bless you all this week and have safe travels. Watch for the children playing and enjoy your summer days!

Sincerely, your friend,
Cassandre' :)

The show is going great! :)

Hello Everyone! :) I hope you're all well and happy! I'm doing fine and having so much fun!

As many of you know, I have a brand new show this year! It's called "Cassandre' The Voice of an Angel" and we are really enjoying it. :) We are at "The New Americana Theatre" on the 76 strip. I'm so thankful for this opportunity and I've already met so many wonderful people and have seen so many of my friends! Thank you to all of you for being at the show!

We have a wide array of musical styles in the show including, Celtic, Gospel, Broadway, Jazz and Animated Favorites! We have an amazing 8-piece orchestra on stage with me and they are so great to work with. I'm so thankful for them and enjoy every show so much!

I also get to perform my own original comedy in the show and it's quite fun for me! I love to be silly and that is truly what I get to do! :) You'll have to come and meet "Erma". :)

I've been keeping busy promoting the show, giving voice lessons and selling Mary Kay, as well! It's a full schedule, but very rewarding. It's a great feeling to work toward achieving the goals I've set for myself. :)

God bless you all and have a great day! Remember to stop and smell the roses, literally or figuratively speaking! :) Sometimes my "roses" are cartoons or "Leave it to Beaver". :) Drive safely with all of the children out running around! :)

Sincerely, your friend,
Cassandre' :)
