Today I went to the memorial service of a very special woman, Virginia Merithew Jones. Those of you that are Thalians, will recognize the name as one of our founding members. We've been visiting her for maybe eleven, twelve years? One of our alums Googled her name and found her happily living in Redondo Beach. She was such a really gracious and friendly woman. As the years went on, both her health and her hearing deteriorated but she was always so glad to see us. Her mind was sharp! She loved to hear us sing. We sang "Today" at the service, I have to say it sounded great! I was really proud to be there and happy to see so many Thalian sisters. Mary Butterly was especially close to her and understandably upset but know Mary that Virginia was smiling down as us saying "You are all so beautiful!" Farewell Virginia, we will miss you!
I was saddened by the news that not only were Jon and Kate separating, they are filing for divorce. I love the show and those kids just crack me up. I must say I relate to Kate, the anal part, because if you've ever worked on an event with me that involved decorating, I am that way also. She sometimes was mean to Jon, but jeez, get a backbone and quit whining. I guess he did get more than a backbone if you believe everything you hear. If you want a job, get a job. I hope it all works out for them and the kids, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Happiness is fleeting I fear. Grab it when you can and appreciate it!
Robin
