Alex has decided that since I do music I might not be too scary.
I*m trying to blog from my tablet so that our laptop is free for others to use.
I made pesto and marinara sauce before the crew returned from Whitehall. And then I got 10 minutes on the treadmill. They returned in the mood for Mexican food so we went out to eat at La Rancho.
Sarah and Matthew dropped by on my piano trio rehearsal. I just managed to steal this photo from Facebook and upload it here from my tablet.
Well, this is cumbersome so I’m quitting.
But now it’s later in the day and I’m just home from giving my piano lesson. Not sure where everybody is. I called Eileen and she and Alex and Elizabeth and Jeremy are sitting on the lawn at Dimnent. Not sure if Sarah and Matthew are with them or not.
I think I’ll bring this to a close with some links I have either read or plan to read.
