A walk through the ponderosa<\/span> wood behind our house. It was a warm weekend. Mistaya’s\u00a0<\/span>portrayal of a fairy in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was beautiful. She was exhausted by the last performance on Saturday night. When I picked her up from the “after the play” cast \u00a0pizza-party–she said, “I’m so tired.”\u00a0<\/div>\n
And Tabitha played “The Juggler” at her piano recital at the college. She was amazing. I hadn’t heard her even play the piece! I only ever hear her practise other pieces at home, so it was a delightful surprise to hear her play it so well.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Today, my over-tired Mistaya has a cough and a little fever, so she stayed home with her Mama. \u00a0Pip is in fine form–busy making a train on her bunk bed–a train to take her to the jungle, a favorite destination of hers. She’ll often \u00a0“adopt” a little red monkey with a long tail named “Roggio<\/span>” on her journey. He is very little, fits in the palm of my hand.\u00a0<\/div>\n
We had a wonderful family picnic last night in the forest park behind our house. It was so beautiful, I never wanted to leave. I always feel like that when I’m in the forest on a sunshiny day.<\/div>\n
Can hardly wait for July–when Miranda’s family arrives. The neighborhood<\/span> is all ready a-buzz with anticipation. Seriously–I’ve had neighbors I haven’t talked to in years approach me and ask if it is true: “Is your sister moving just down the street?” Another neighbor said “I hope they like beer!”–no worries there.<\/div>\n
