Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat -- 3 dress rehearsals and 10 performances

Clean the house, do a bit of gardening to get ready for visits from family who are arriving for my niece’s college graduation in the middle of the last weekend of Joseph performances.

Plan something for 12th grader’s graduation.
