I Need A Mother Of The Groom Dress

I need a Mother Of The Groom Dress.  The choices are a bit odd.  Oh dear . . . .

Where's My Tiger Mother?

Sometimes I just hate to practice. I'll do anything to avoid it. Garden, clean my closet, balance my checkbook. All these things create the aura of "I'm so busy!" But I'm not busy. Not at all.  Just practicing good old fashioned avoidance.

Baltimore, MD is a wonderful place to live!

Engagement Party

My husband and I had an old fashioned Bar B Que to honor the engagement of our son and daughter-in-law to be.  Her family/our family/wedding party and a bunch of great friends joined the fun.

The icing on the cake, the cherry on top of the whipped cream, the milk with the oreo cookie was ~ drumroll please ~

AN OLD FASHIONED ICE CREAM TRUCK!

Ding a ling a ling . . . .

Everyone, and I mean everyone, was suddenly eight years old.  Snowballs (a favorite of Baltimore folk), dreamsicles, and various other assortments of ice cream on a stick were enjoyed by all. 

Amazing Musical Performance

I belong to a number of amateur muscial groups.  One member is a relatively new cello player.  At a recent gathering the cellist was performing a number accompanied by piano.  The musician was having a hard time getting through the piece.  Not only was the music challenging, but playing while listening to the accompanist was not easy.

The musician graciously gave me permission to utilize Harmonic Tuning on both the cello and the cellist.  The results were amazing and immediate.  The playing was richer and more confident and the impact on the listener astounding.

Venice,

Italy

OMG

Such a trip!

Departure - Soon

I'll be departing for Venice, Italy very soon.  I have no idea what to expect.  My daughter is planning the entire trip.  I feel like the kid here.  Que sera sera is a rather new thing for me.  I dot all my i's and cross all my t's before embarking on this sort of adventure.  This time I have a round trip airline ticket and a place to stay and that's all I have planned.  Quite liberating.
