I have been told by family and friends that I am not keeping my blog up-to-date, and it is so true! But in case you're wondering if I am sitting around "polishing my tush", I am not. We have just returned from Baltimore where we (Hubby, older brother Tyler, older sister Maggie, Aunt Gail, and Uncle Carroll) attended our "baby's" senior recital at Peabody Conservatory of Music. It was beyond memorable!
I, of course, had not finished her gown, so I carried the pieces and patterns and pins onto the plane and fit and finished it in the comfort of her apartment on Cathedral Street. We had to shop for shoes before it could be hemmed and I didn't put the finishing touches on it until the morning of the recital. I must say I was under a bit of stress as I hemmed it the evening before after a full dinner at the Thai restaurant (Mai Tais and all).
At the recital, she performed a range of pieces including concertos for trumpet as well as jazz numbers. Although maybe not the most challenging piece, my favorite was her ending jazz performance of Over the Rainbow. I can't wait until we get a CD of the performance.
The photo album chronicles a bit of our adventure.
