My Rebekah

This post is devoted to my second child, Rebekah. She is 21, a theater major at a college in another state. As a little girl, she liked to make up plays. The one I remember best is "Who Has Seen the Wind" in which she had a part for every one of her sibs. "Romance and Tragedy" was another. (Sarah Jane made up her own to follow Rebekah's - "Love and Death." )

Rebekah always had an uncanny knack for costumes. By five, she could whip up a harem girl's outfit from a scarf and an old skirt. A few minutes later, she might transform into a peasant child with the same materials.

It was only natural that Becka decided to go into the theater arts. Here she is, as various characters, her latest, "Violet" from the Incredibles, for a costume party. She did not buy that costume; she made it herself out of this and that, on the cheap.

I'm so proud of her!

In "Billy Graham; the Early Years" (Directed by Robbie Benson, but it's not out yet.) The year was 1934.

As Agnes in "Dancing at Lughnasa"

Isn't she something?
