Another beautiful day. Just when all hope for some warmer weather seemed to fade we have been blessed with wonderful weather.
Yesterday we drove to Omaha for Heather's audition and it was a beautiful drive. Once we got into Omaha though the beautiful country side was traded for the gray of the large city. The two lane interstate grew into four and five lane highways that crisscross and intertwine several on top of each other.
We got to the audition with no time to spare and went to stand in line for the paperwork that needed to be filled out. While standing in line I was able to scope out the other parents. I was shocked at the behavior shown by these parents lecturing their kids and putting huge stress on them. I just told Heather to have fun!
Once we had all the paperwork filled out we waited to be called, first though we had to watch a seminar about the talent agency. Heather got her interview and even had to read lines in front of a camera and was told by the talent scout that she was beautiful and had gorgeous eyes. We will not know anything until Monday morning when we have to call back. If we get the OK when we call back she will be launched into workshops and training starting right away. I have asked Heather over and over if she is sure she wants to do this and have also let her know that if she does not get picked does not mean she is not pretty it just means she is not what they need right now.
So we will wait.
Heath has finished his training and has already gotten his company rig a 2006 Chevy minivan. He seems to really like the job and it suits him. With his income added to mine things are looking even better!
I am still out of work and recovering. I never knew Strep could knock anyone down this bad but my immunity could be down for other reasons. ;)
Well I am going to start making some bread and I am going to try a sourdough start again! YUM!

Talent agencies can be interesting, recall the time that I and Sierra became involved with them, when they calledme the second time for a call back to Anchorage for a commercial of a new product, I turned it down. Come to find out the product was for (Pepsi)Sierra Mist. They keep yopu photos and notes for years. Heath's new job really sounds interesting and suits him, something he can sink his teeth into. We will stay listening to see if the Strep also involves something else. :) Had our first fall frost last night, beautiful day out - off to work,
