Cardinals are fond of our feeders. This guy seemed to like to show off his profile. Skittish little birdies they are, and actually getting one to hang out for a photo session is a rarity.
Mia has relaxation down to an art. I think I took this photo a couple of years ago. Mia’s in the habit of waiting until I rise from my chair while teaching piano, then she jumps onto it and lounges until I accidentally sit on her. You’d think she’d learn. She is not any flatter for the experience, though. Mia the Fat Cat.
After a second look at this photo, I see that Mia’s sitting at the dulcimer. She’s an equal-opportunity instrument loving cat.
Sadie Jane and Claire. The granddaughters, together in pink. Love my little girls.
It’s been seven years since the Gates were in Central Park, and Audrey and I froze our noogies to walk among them.
Mia isn’t nearly this acrobatic anymore; come to think of it, Randy’s hair is a bit grayer, too. It’s been years since Mia was svelt enough to jump the ledges.
Best wishes to Tiffany-Ann and Nicholas. It won’t be long before you get these smiles back, we hope!
Here is a little puzzle for you. What are these colored poles? Or where are they? If you figure out where they are, you might be able to figure out what they are. A hint for Audrey: I’ve out-geeked you this time!
For my birthday this year, I gave a piano recital. It was FUN!!! Patrick and I had planned to do one in Seattle a few years ago, and since that’s not a possibility anymore, I decided to go ahead and continue on my own. Therapy for me. There were some rough days preparing for it, for sure. It was nice to prove to myself that I can still play an hour-long program from memory. The brain is not dead yet.
