Scott and Sue Family

I came home late this afternoon from a 4 hour meeting, lunch with a friend at a great Korean restaurant, and a quick trip to Robert's for a particular color of cardstock.  I went through the mail, cleaned off the table, and looked in the refrigerator to help me think about dinner.  I was accosted by a foul smell coming from inside my frig which reminded me that I needed to throw some stuff away today to discover and eradicate the source of the smell.  I put my laptop on the table, fired up my iTunes and blasted "Aida" while I bucked up and started the unpleasant job of tossing out leftovers.  When I had gotten rid of some stuff including the bad, smelly tomato, I thought I had done a great job.  But Amneris was belting about her "Strongest Suit" and I thought mine would be to get my vegetable drawers clean.  So I yanked them out and gave them a good washing in my sink.  When I put them back, I stepped back and admired my work.  But they looked so sparkly clean that the other shelves paled in comparison.  So "The Gods of Nubia" looked fondly on me while I removed and washed my shelves.  Once again, I stepped back to admire my work and became slightly stressed out while contemplating the inside of my frig door.  I decided it was "Written in the Stars" that I should complete the job, so I tackled those little shelf-box things that hang inside the door.  I tossed out some salad dressings that nobody actually likes anymore, along with some marinades, because they just don't last forever.  I washed out all the thingies and then organized what was left so that like items were in the same shelf-box and then I felt just GREAT!  It was amazing how doing that commonplace chore made me feel so satisfied.  And now my frig is so clean it's ready for company.  Or maybe just ready for the people who live here and use it on a daily basis.  And that's "Enchantment Passing Through".

We completed our Alpine Community Theater production about one month ago.  It was a smashing success, with sold out nights (first time ever for Alpine Community Theater).  The production was given special recognition by Players Anonymous, a local website providing Utah theater information.  In the recognition they said, among other things, "The whole show revolved around the talents of Scott and Sue Carey who accompanied and directed a full orchestra of local talent." 

Our family is participating Alpine Community Theater's summer production of Beauty and Beast. Sue is serving as the music director, which includes directing the orchestra for each show.  Scott is the principal accompanist and will be playing keyboard in the orchestra.  Brian is appearing in the show part of the Gaston dancers, an enchanted object (Flatware) in the castle, and in the battle scene at the end.  He ends up dancing for about 3-4 hours each night in practice.  Mark is playing cello in the orchestra.  Our show runs from July 27 until August 6.  If you live in the area, we would love for you to come and see it.  Tickets can be obtained at Alpine Community Theater Tickets.

Sue was recently appointed to fill the remaining time the Family Life Commissioner for Utah PTA.  She has been working in various positions at the local, council, region, and state level of PTA since we moved to Utah (after many years in PTA positions in Florida).  Her passion is the legislative process and enjoys very much discussing legislation with our state legislators during the annual legislative session.
