Les Miserables... The Dream Cast...
This musical is still and may ever remain my favorite. If you missed this particular production when it appeared on PBS... get this in your Netflix que or find some way to enjoy it. It's better every time I see it. Beautiful.
Dangerous...
I saw this book on several of the blogs and thought I would look into it for my nephew's birthday. Well, this book is just fabulous and one for the family library. C and little c both want me to get one so they can both read it. Who isn't interested in "The Ages of Piracy" ? This is the perfect gift for any male person on your gift list and most girls would like it quite a bit too. It's tons of fun to look through.
Sweet Tour...
Little c and I had the best time yesterday. We visited the Sweet Candy Company's factory. I loved the smell inside... AAAaahhh Sugar! The bags of sugar they use weigh 2,000 pounds. They use 800 pounds of chocolate everyday. Everyday they ship out 7-12 semi-truck loads of candy to points all over the country. When the government has room on transports over-seas, they ship Sweet's sweets to our troops. Hooray!
It was a little Roald Dahl in the factory with large pipes piping chocolate all over the place and pipes taking sugar everywhere. The tour guide told us that when we had finished the tour, we had walked 1/2 mile. It seems like a kind of large rectangle in there. (Above is a picture of the old factory) They also told us that last year 10 million pounds of salt water taffy was shipped out of that factory. That's some serious taffy!
I love it when they pack it up like this. Don't you love these boxes?!?! We had too much fun in the Sweet Candy Company's Sweet Shop...
If you get a chance... don't miss this tour on a trip to Salt Lake City... I believe that they only run the tours during the summer when the factory is not running at full capacity... The address is on the door. :)
