The Butler Did It


Ready, quiet, action....don't break a leg. I love live theater preformances. I posted this a few years ago in Yahoo. Curtain going up.


I reside in a quaint town commonly referred to by many as TrussVegas. I shall not be offened by this because ...afterall... I pay enough taxes to actaully live in Vegas. It is a family oriented community with great pride in its aesthetic appearances and, of course, the local football team. Now, "the coach" is another story of pride and prejudice. I try to keep up with hometown gossip by reading the posts on the local forum. Kinda glad my daughter is an adult..well, more or less....and doesn't attend school anymore. "The "Cahaba Project" is an area near downtown TrussVegas It is comprised of homes built post WWII. The dwellings are still pretty with many having additions built on to them in order to accommodate the present contemporary families. It is rather prestigious to reside within these praticular blocks of "The Mall." or "Project" No, I'm down the street. It's delightful to watch people walking with their families and/or pets, jogging. biking, playing tennis or riding in the hundreds of vehicles that cruise the main street daily. Traffic is just one of our primary problems.. don't mention it when you visit, though. Some residents are of the opinion that they are living in Utopia.The secondary institution of higher education ( lol) is within walking distance of downtown and across the street from the the millddle-school is this "dahlin' building known as ACTA...our local little theatre.

I am proud of the productions that are presented and performed by many local actors..This past Saturday evening was no exception. Nelda, Carol Betty, Carolyn and I enjoyed dining prior to attending the play. We walked from where we had parked at a local restaurant across the street Gas prices are too high to be wasteful. We meandered slowly into the non-white table, order on your own, wait it line on your own time, get your own comdiments, and carry your own tray to the table at the elite establishment of cuisine better known as Wendy's. Time was a factor and we couldn't wait to be seated at the other restaurant. By the way, the food was pretty good..and cheap. After partaking of this delicious meal, we escaped to the theatre without any traffic interruptions... afterall, we only had a mile to travel.

I knew "The Butler Did It." Cute comedy with very intriguing personalities amongst the characters. We escaped with the visitors to Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island and became enthralled in solving the murders and wondering did the butler really do it. A very enjoyable evening of laughter and fellowship with friends.. I will never tell. Did the butler do it?
