Hello!

Hello Everyone. :) I hope you're all having a great day and feeling well. :) I'm doing great! Thank you to everyone for your wonderful comments on my blog postings, your updates on twitter and your kind e-mails. I truly appreciate them all!

I've been having such an enjoyable Spring. I've gotten lots of things done and am doing well with my scheduling this year! :) I learned a lot of very good lessons last year and am giving myself adequate rest this year. Wow, does it ever make a difference! I always give that advice to everyone else, but as we all know, taking your own advice isn't always easy. :)

The voice lessons are going so well. My students are great and are making wonderful improvements every lesson. It's a diverse group of people and they are all so great in their own way. I'm so happy for them and all they are accomplishing.

We just had a lot of rain go through Branson, so it washed away a lot of the pollen. I'm sure a lot of people are feeling relief right now! It's so refreshing to have everything fresh and clean after a rain. Spring is a beautiful time of year. I watched our tree out front get little blossoms, bloom and leaf out in just a matter of days! It's amazing to me. I was thinking the other day, how we go from snow and ice to this kind of weather. It happens without you even realizing it, unless you are really cognizant of the day-to-day changes. How neat. :)

The show is going so well! We are having a wonderful time together. The audiences are having a great time, as well. It's a very friendly, laid back atmosphere, full of songs that everyone knows and loves! I really look forward to doing the show each day. It's a great combination of personalities, (with our orchestra and tenor), music, comedy and friendship. We all really have a lot of fun!

The shows are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at 2:00 p.m., at The New Americana Theatre. :) Hope to see you all there!

God bless you all and have a nice day. Thanks for coming to visit today. Be safe out there.

Sincerely,
Cassandre' :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're all having a great day when you read this. I'm doing fine and enjoying some relaxing time after the show today. :) We've been having beautiful weather this week. It's so nice to have Spring again! :)

We had a wonderful week of shows. It's going really well and getting very positive responses from everyone that comes to see us. I'm so thankful for all of the compliments and for all of the people that are visiting to make the show possible. :) We are having even more fun than we did last year. The show really moves along and is a lot of fun to perform. It's full of so many different kinds of music. I really enjoy it.

I don't know how everyone's weather was today, but we had lots, and lots of rain! Oh my goodness. I could hear it on the side of the theater at intermission of the show, and I was so happy to be inside! Such a simple and wonderful blessing.

We have had such sweet and kind audiences at the show. I've really enjoyed being able to speak with so many of your afterward. It's so nice to catch up with people and meet new friends, too. Thank you for your support!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter celebration. Have a safe week and God bless you all. Thank you for visiting!

Sincerely,
Cassandre' :)

Going well!

Hello everyone! I hope all is well with you. :) I'm doing great and having a lot of fun! Thank you for your recent comments on my blog! How fun to read those. :)

The show is going very well. I'm really enjoying all of the new music. People tell me that they are liking this year even more than last year, so that's nice to hear. :) We are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2 pm, at the New Americana Theatre.

I've been promoting and getting to see all of those friends again, so that's been fun for me. It seems like a long time since I've been to those places. But, at the same time, it went so quickly. There's always so much to do, whether it's the regular season or the off-season. I'm thankful to have something to do. I'd rather be busy than bored. :)

My voice lesson students are doing a great job. They really listen well and apply what they're learning. It really makes a big difference. It's neat to hear them improve so much.

We had a beautiful Spring day here, today. It was so nice and the sun was out, too. What a pretty time of year.

It will be great to see you all when you get to come to the show. :) God bless you and have a good day. Thanks for checking in to see what's going on with things. :)

Sincerely,

Cassandre' :)

Show is Open!

Hello Everyone! The show is now Open! Yay! It's so much fun. I'm really enjoying it. We have put in so many new songs in the show and I have a whole new wardrobe for this year. I'm looking forward to everyone getting to see the show! We are now at 2 pm, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at the New Americana Theatre. You'll definitely have a great time!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all, too! It was a pretty nice day temperature-wise today and I was able to teach a couple of lessons after the show. That was a lot of fun to see some of my students. :)

The days leading up to the opening of the show were definitely busy, but we got a lot done. The orchestra worked very hard getting their music learned, and my husband did a whole bunch of work in producing the show, as well. The resulting show has been amazing! We're having so much fun, and the new numbers are really great to listen to and see. We also added a male tenor to sing some songs with me this year, and that has been fun, too. I'm very thankful!

I thank all of you for your support and friendship. God bless you and have a great day! I look forward to seeing you all at the show. Thanks for "visiting".

Sincerely,

Cassandre' :)

March!

Oh my goodness, it's March! :0) I hope you're all having a great day and enjoying good health when you read this! I'm doing fine and working a lot on the new show.

The first show is on March 15th at 2:00 p.m. We are at the New Americana Theatre and are looking forward to a great season! :) I hope you're all able to see the show this year! We've got lots of new things going in and will have things changing as the year goes on. It's going to be a lot of work, but so much fun to do. I'm very thankful to have this opportunity and am making it the best I know how! :) We're going to have even more costume changes in the show this year than last year. It's going to keep me hopping for sure. It should definitely be interesting. :) Please note the new time is 2:00 p.m. :)

The weather has really improved lately, and is feeling a lot more like Spring could be here in a bit. We had so much more snow than usual in Branson this winter. I was actually out of town for two of the storms, but definitely felt the cold of the season! It's fun to have the change in weather, but I'm excited for the sunny days of Spring and Summer. So nice and relaxing.

The voice lessons are going great and my students are all seeing a lot of improvement. It's really rewarding to see and hear them be more confident and learning so many new things. They are all very kind people and we have a lot of fun working together. I'm thankful for all of them in my life. :)

This "off-season" has gone by very quickly! I think that the regular season might feel like a bit of a vacation once we get the shows open! It's been an enjoyable, but full schedule. :) I'm really happy to have things to do, however. I never got bored. :)

Be safe and enjoy the end of Winter and beginning of Spring weather. I know a lot of you still have snow. I hope the nice weather gets to you quickly. :) God bless you all and thanks so much for "visiting", for your support and friendship.

Sincerely,

Cassandre' :)

Working on the show! :)

Hello Everyone! :) I know it's been quite a while since I've written. I hope you're all doing well and feeling happy. I'm doing great.

We are getting the show all set to go for this year! It's going to be a lot of fun, and very beautiful, too. We are actually going to be at 2:00 p.m. this year, so it's a little earlier than before. We will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting March 15 at the New Americana Theatre! I'm so excited and am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I can't believe how much snow we've been getting this winter. It's very unusual for Branson to receive much snow at all. Usually it's ice, if anything, so I'd rather have the snow for sure! :) I hope you have all stayed safe during the storms. You just have to respect the weather. There's nothing more to it than that!

Everything has been going well, but fast. I can't believe I've been on "vacation" for almost two months! I say "vacation", because I've been working a lot on many projects. :) The main one being the show. I am also giving voice lessons, keeping up with my Mary Kay business and helping out at church with the music, so it definitely keeps me hopping from one place to the next. I'm so thankful to have a lot to do. It's all really a lot of fun. :)

As I said in my last blog, at the beginning of the year, we took a family vacation to Hawaii, and that was so relaxing! Every day, we went to the beach and walked to our favorite coffee shop. How wonderful! It really was so great and I think of it often. Those experiences are really special. It's fun to think about when I'm freezing in the snow! So neat that there is a place that's so warm at the same time that we are having winter weather. Amazing.

Thank you to those of you that commented on the blog posts! It's so nice to hear from you. Thank you for your friendship and support. God bless you all and let us know how you're doing! Thank you and have a great week!

Sincerely,

Cassandre' :)

January!

Wow! I can't believe it's the middle of January already! How are you all doing? I hope this finds all of you well and happy. I'm doing great and thankful for a little time off right now. :)

What are some of your New Year's Resolutions? You can leave a comment at the bottom of this post and let us know! Mine is to worry less and be more organized. I hope I accomplish both. I'm doing pretty good so far! :)

I was able to go on an amazing vacation at the beginning of this month! We went to Hawaii and had a lovely time. We were able to go see the whales and it was so beautiful! We also saw flying fish, and a sea turtle! So neat. It's really amazing how many different creatures and climates God has put on this earth! So unique to each area. It's also helped me to appreciate all of the animals and surroundings here more, too. I'm so thankful to have had the time to relax.

I spent today catching up on a lot of little things that needed to be done, so that is nice to have so many of those taken care of now.

It was such a nice, sunny day on Wednesday and pretty warm, too! Right around 45 to 50 degrees! It was great. I'm looking forward to more of those. :)

God bless you all and take time each day to appreciate something, even if it's a small detail. Travel safely and have a great day. Thank you so much for taking time to come and visit! Please let your friends know to check in, too!

Sincerely,
Cassandre' :)
