Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all!  We welcomed the New Year in with very cold temperatures.  It's been close to zero for weeks it seems.  Today it's 11 degrees with potential freezing rain coming tonight.  School has begun for Marian, with some rooms still very cold (I've heard from the students)

Gabriel returns to Rice today and classes begin this week.  Anna has another week of vacation and classes will start next week. 

Costumes are underway for the spring musical (The Music Man), having made 35 costumes over the vacation. Fittings and other costume making still to do.  Largest cast (55!) yet.
