Gifts

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes. Usually, we consider the personal variety. But what about the gift of history and romance with memories of plays, movies, music, and fun? I giggled like a little girl through the window of the Esplanade bus on Tuesday, as I watched the newly unwrapped Saenger Theater sign sparkle and run its lines of lights. The restoration of the Theater has seemed to be a long, arduous, traffic detouring process for all of us. (Actually, most things seem to be that way these days.) But, we are practicing patience. Could the sign mean we are close? What a gift to a city and people that have loved her and enjoyed her throughout their lives!
