Party

I went to a birthday party last night. My neighbor and new friend, Rayne, was hosting the party for her daughter-Rebecca, who was entering into childhood. There was plenty of cake and the kids were so cute. Rebecca looks just like her big brother Ray. Rayne, Nicole and I then sat around watching the children play and we talked about babies naturally. Nicole and her husband Lyndon are discussing starting thier family and Rayne and her husband Ajani are thinking about having another baby. Actually they've taken to retreating to thier room several times a day and have the attitude that if anything happens they are prepared for it.

Rayne's parents were also there, her mother was very excited to meet me. Apparently she's a huge Pahala Shore fan and she kept pressing me for details about upcoming episodes, I didn't tell her much-basically the same thing the magazines are saying. Nicole talked about her new project, she's starring in a play from the new production company, Starrents. It was interesting hearing about the project since the co-founder is Ajani's mother-Alia-and she was there for the party as well. The only grandparent that didn't make it to the party was DaMarco, Alia's ex-husband, since he is in Simborough with his new girlfriend. Another of Rayne's friends was there, Cassandra Grey-the adoptive daughter of Starr Grey and mother of Hazel Starr Grey (she plays Carli on the show). Apparently they work together on the Apple Valley Historical Society and have become fast friends. I'm lucky to be meeting so many new people. I am meeting many more residents than when I stayed downtown. Actually living in Apple Valley proper makes it easier to walk to your neighbor's house for tea or jog in the park.

Pahala Shore sent out a memo, the cast will be meeting next week for a cast meeting. We're going to get the latest scripts so that we can begin learning our lines, meet the new cast member, Montana, discuss the shooting schedule and find out our appointments with the wardrobe and make-up crew. I'm excited to start work again, I missed everyone and can't wait to see them again! We're going to have so much to talk about and thankfully the shooting schedule will be less intense since it is spread over a few months instead of crammed into a few weeks. That makes it harder to pursue other projects, but we do have the summer hiatus for that.

until next time
