Yes, it is true, I am a bad blogger! I was told I would forget about the blogging, and it is true. I tried not to admit that I would forget, but alas, I was wrong. I don't really know what has kept me away, I am retired, after all! I do have some other stuff in my life now, but really, I am retired! So I am not going to say that I will be really attentive to the blog now, but I will TRY to at least make an entry now and again!
Entry today - 3/10/11 -
Really excited to go to Portland in April to see daughter and son-in-law's new house! Yes, they bought a house this past month, and I get to visit and paint! Oh, joy! I think it is going to be painting over the pink dining room - they get to choose the color, of course, but I know it won't be pink!
Also excited about a needlepoint workshop I will be attending in New Jersey in a couple of weeks - three days of immersion into this new project I am excited about. I will post a picture if I ever get it done!
For you music geeks, I am playing in the Capitol Winds, an adult group based at Hartt School of Music. Our concert is May 4th, and we are playing some really neat and difficult stuff - Festive Overture by Shostakovich at a really ridiculously fast tempo, the Haydn Trumpet Concerto played on the baritone horn, by a really ridiculously talented player, and Illyrian Dances by Guy Woolfenden, just a really ridiculously great piece! We are also playing other stuff, including a new piece by John Mackey entitled Hymn to a Blue Hour - you should check it out - it is beautiful.
And lastly, if I did this correctly, there should be a picture of the beach from our condo in Myrtle Beach. I took this in January when I had some R&R for a week there.
