A medium-sized fuchsia suitcase is laying on my bed as I am in the process of packing for a weekend trip with Charlotte, we leave first thing in the morning. Her dance company is attending a dance weekend with the School of the Arts here in my state, it is a treat that I get to go along too.
Earlier this week...
Enjoying: One of the perks of Charlotte being in the Youth Orchestra is we are allowed a certain amount of tickets to attend the local Symphony. We go as often as we can and enjoy superb programs every time. Last Saturday it was a bone-chilling walk back to our car after the concert, thankfully our souls were still warm from the music of Puccini, Hayden's Farewell Symphony, and the orchestra performing Mario Caselnuovo-Tedesco's work alongside guest artist Artyom Dervoed, a renowned classical guitarist.
Nature Walks: The Common Grackles have appeared once again in the neighborhood. The last time they traveled through it was fall. It is the most eerie feeling to be out walking and observe the large numbers congregating in the tops of the trees, and to watch them constantly swooping across the treetops with their loud incessant chatter. Too close to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds for my taste.
And the adoption is final!!!!
Vivid memories of that evening over two years ago when Witt and Claire came straight from the hospital carrying this three day old little one. We wanted him from the beginning, but it took a long drawn-out process and ceaseless prayer to make it to this happy moment.
