Humpity Day: There’s Just Something About…

…a matinee, a stroll, and a gelato.

We used to live down the road from the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

It was a blessing and a curse.

Have I told you how much I love live theatre?

Rush seats.

Last week, on a typically gorgeous, N-O-T-L day, we motored around the lake for a day of walking and noshing and theatre.

It might’ve been over the river and through the woods in my imagination.

But we motored.

Shaw Festival Playbill 2015

Stamina.

They had it.

I was charmed.

A stellar performance by a stellar cast.

Yes. I used stellar twice on purpose.

Here be Humpity Day.

Let’s just imagine ourselves right over it.
