Good Luck Charlie!
Last night we got to go to a taping of Good Luck Charlie, which is one of Boylee's favorite TV shows. We got to be in the front row of the audience, and we also got some special VIP treats since one of the prop guys is a friend. Boylee got to go onto the floor and get autographs and take pictures with the stars and check out the sets...and to top it all off he even won a cool backpack in a raffle!
AND - they even had candy to snack on. So pretty much it was Boylee's best night ever.

Dreaming of Sassafras Farm
Suzanne McMinn is one of my favorite people in the world. (And by that I mean one of my favorite random strangers who I follow on the internet.)
She's a single mom, she's running a farm in West Virginia, she's got cows, goats, chickens and sheep, and she just seems like a real go-getter and all-around nice person. (And she even grew up in the city!)
She's been running workshops in farm-centric things like cheesemaking and goat-milking for a few years, but always has to do it at a rental site that has a commercial kitchen. It's been good, but she has to pay to rent that space, plus her participants would really like to see how things are done on the real farm. So now she's trying to renovate a building on her property to be an official, licensed commercial kitchen where she can hold her workshops, host visitors and more.
She's got a Kickstarter project going and is trying to raise more than $14,000 to make it happen. And the way Kickstarter works is that people can pledge money to her project, but none of those pledges go through unless the entire amount is raised. She's almost 50% of the way there and has a little over 20 days to go. I donated a (small) amount. Maybe you can, too? They'll take as little as $1, but if you give $10 or more you can get some presents in return, sort of like an NPR pledge drive.
Let's help Suzanne build her kitchen!

Further Adventures in Musical Theater
This was a total, total dud.
It's really slow, really talky. They added other songs that aren't in the stage show. Brandon and Jean Simmoms sing so out of tune it's unbearable to listen to. Boylee hated it and we couldn't make it more than halfway through. I wish there was a better filmed version.
