My daughter called to say that she might be coming home in the next couple of weeks! We are very excited and this will mean it is time for AN OUTDOOR CONCERT!!! We are so lucky to have a musician in the family. Usually when Mimi comes home, we pick a night to invite friends and neighbors to come over before the sun goes down and we have a back yard concert. We light up all the torches, bring out the lawn chairs, lots of hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine, then sit back while Mimi performs while we all relax under the stars. When Mimi was growing up her piano teach held quarterly musicales and I always thought of them as simply magical. Her teacher, Ms. Lissa brought in The Peachtree Trio (a woodwind group), a soprano and tenor from the ASO Chorus, and then of course Ms. Lissa would be the pianist for the evening. These informal music experiences through the years have provided our family with some very special memorable events. I always tell Mimi that she has given us the opportunity to see and hear some beautiful scenes of life that we might not have seen without her.

ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl
ReplyDeleteI can see how excited you are to see your daughter and I know how that feels...it's tough having children that live far but it's nice to see them follow their dreams.
Enjoy her visit!
