Sierra Nevada Winds Concert

Another wonderful musical experience. Front row, center. The big difference here was knowing the performers (well, at least one very special one, and others that I met just recently).

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING: As in most cases, flash photography was not permitted, so I have no photos. And, no, Joss did not conduct this orchestra. The inset photo is of Joss in action as a music teacher in a middle school.

In this production, Joss played oboe, english horn, and percussion. The music was stirring and the entertainment tops.

Grandparent's Day Lunch

I was thrilled to have lunch with Granddaughter Kyleigh on Wednesday. This beaming 9-year old met Grandpa Clark at the appointed time in the Coyote Ridge Elementary schoolyard and off we went to lunch in the multipurpose room. Mom had packed a wonderful lunch for the two of us, so my worst fear of having cafeteria macaroni & cheese was put to rest.

Thank you Kyleigh for making your proud Grandpa feel so special and loved.

Happy Birthday Ellie! 3 Years Old!

This photo was taken on October 29, 2006 when Ellie was almost 1. How she has grown since then! My hope is that I get to see her and all the East of The Mississippi Family this year.
Have a wonderful birthday girl…especially this year when you have an additional family member to help you celebrate.

Happy Birthday, Lori!
