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' :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Well, the show is done, and it was an amazing year! It was even better than we ever hoped! What a rewarding experience it has been. I worked very hard this year, but it was definitely worth it. We had such fun during the show and so many wonderful compliments from the audiences. I'm so happy to have my talented orchestra members and quite thankful for all of them. They make the show very special. They surprised me during the last show with a gift certificate and a beautiful picture of "Starry Night". For those of you that don't know, we performed the song, Starry, Starry Night, in the show. How thoughtful of them. I believe J.R. is the one that found it. :) What a neat group of people to have in one place. I feel so blessed to be their friend.

We are already working on next year's show. It's going to be even better than this year. We always want to improve, so we're thinking of new ideas all the time. It's really a lot of fun, and gives me the opportunity to be creative. Sometimes it's a challenge, but a good one. :)

I'm getting ready for Christmas and hoping the weather holds out for everyone. I won't travel if it's not safe, however. It just isn't worth it. The important thing is that everyone stay safe. Phones are wonderful to connect with, if nothing else. :) I hope all of your preparations are going well. Be smart and remember the real reason for the celebration: The Birthday of Jesus!!!! He wants us to be safe, too! :)

God bless you all and have a very Merry Christmas! :) Happy New Year, (just in case I don't get to put in an update before then)! I appreciate you all! Thank you for visiting with me and for a wonderful year!

Sincerely, your friend,
Cassandre' :)
