We only have 3 performances left, Saturday the 2oth, matinee (2:00) and night (7:00), and Monday the 22nd night (7:00).

Tickets are $5 for students, $6 for seniors, and $7 for adults if you buy then ahead of time, (or $8 at the door)

Paperback Writer, one of my former teachers, made up this recipe for Granola Balls, and it sounded yummy, so Aub and I tried it this week. They turned out really good!

2 cups quick oats, 1 cup grape nuts, 1/2 cup powered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

We didn't have grape nuts, but they were fine without them, and I suggest less (or no) cinnamon, unless you really like it, it left a strong after taste in our granola bars.

Heat opened 16 ounces of peanut butter (we used chunky!) in microwave, takes about a minute.

pour over cereal/sugar mix.

Add goodies, about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, whatever you like :)
(That's what I call a bag of chocolate chips!)

Roll into balls (or bars or whatever) and cool :)

enjoy :)

Thanks for the recipe Paperback Writer!

70 foot flag!

Dad and Mike putting up the flag.

The tower is only at about 25 feet right now.

Securing the flag and spotlight

Aub climbed it with Mike before they cranked it up

I just like how the flag looks in this one :)

Looking straight up before they cranked it.

looking straight up after they cranked it.

Almost there! Mike is at the base using a hand crank!

All the way up! :)

...and a random flower that I took a picture of in the middle of all of this:)

Happy 4th of July on the 5th :)
