I love Memorial Day and for many years we hosted a pool party and barbecue at our home. The pool is just getting warm enough, it’s not too terribly hot out yet and everyone is ready for the beginning of summer!
It’s fun to do a potluck menu. We always do the barbecue and ask everyone to bring one of the other dishes to share.

In its regional Southwest premiere, Dallas Children’s Theater’s Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly artfully weaves together three of Doreen Cronin’s popular children’s books. Directed by Joan Cushing, Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly brings to life a cast of lively and colorful characters. The show combines engaging story lines with interesting facts designed to educate the audience about each of the characters. The factual tidbits are nicely done via a large screen in the background, classroom show & tell sessions and occasional “pop up” appearances by the cast that are quite funny! The production also incorporates several high energy musical/dance arrangements featuring hip hop, rap, ballads and boogie-woogie music.
