Sorry I forgot to post this yesterday! “Flower Power” Weber and Brooke went to Sam’s Wednesday night while I was at choir. They had what I thought was a short list, but Brooke seemed to add to the list on each aisle so they came home with quite a few items that they had not originally intended. One of those items was a bouquet of flowers for me. I love fresh flowers on the dining room table. They don’t have…
“One Hundred Cents” I remember when the girls were little and they celebrated the 100th day of school by taking one hundred items to school to share with their classmates. One hundred pennies, paperclips, M&Ms, stickers, erasers, and so on. When it came time for me to come up 100 somethings for my own project, I had to think hard. Today became a music theorist’s idea for 100. Yes, I know that the piano has 88 keys, not 100….

“Sew, A Needle Doing What?”
“Kimchi After Class” I had a brand new culinary experience this evening, Korean food. Several of my students, Weber, Brooke and I enjoyed an amazing dinner tonight thanks to one of my students whose family owns a local Korean restaurant.
“Present Standing” I stand firmly grounded in the present, allowing the past to become history and the future to remain a mystery. I have learned how important it is to fully embrace the beauty and power of now, of today, and to not worry about what was or what may be.
For some reason, this week has turned out to be the week from hell. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time or energy to get everything done that needs to be done. It is REALLY nice to have Brooke here to cook for us. If she had not been here today I suspect that dinner would have consisted of leftover Easter candy. But, since she was here, we had a very good dinner. Brooke decided that she was going…
