I am a Christian Mom, Wife and Grandma who considers every day of health a blessed day. I grew up in Kansas City and love my hometown - especially the Northland. I adore children - especially my own, but adore them all. I am in my 23rd year with the North Kansas City School District and the 38th year of marriage to my soulmate, Loren. I thank God for him. I have wonderful parents who taught us to love each other, love others and to love God. Life has thrown us a few curveballs, but we TRY to find the silver lining in everything.

Drama, drama, drama

My two oldest granddaughters, Tess and Kate, are going to Drama Camp at North Kansas City High School this week and next for a couple of hours each morning. I was intrigued when I read about this camp earlier this year. It sounded like something the girls would really enjoy, but it was kind of an expensive investment.

I thought about it and decided to ask their Mama, Sarah, if she thought it was something they would enjoy. At first I thought just Tess might be interested, but then Sarah read the pamphlet and said it looked like something Kate would enjoy, too, so I suggested Sarah ask her.

Kate's response went something like this: "Oh, Mom! That's ALL the stuff I love to do!" So we enrolled her, too.

So now we are three days in and let me just say that these girls are having the TIME OF THEIR LIVES......they are so excited every day and I can't wait to hear every day what they did. Next Thursday evening at 7 p.m. they will be performing Sleeping Beauty.......it's a musical, of course, so how can they go wrong?

Tess has the lead as the evil queen...and she is THRILLED. Kate, of course, is the sweet, nice queen - and a GOON....whatever that means.

So far so good and of course, the Martens are all about DRAMA and we can't wait to see what our 4 girls do in the future concerning "performances".........yea drama!!!!
