R had her first piano recital this evening. It was held at an old Baptist church with beautiful stained glass windows . . . about thirty kids played various instruments or sang. R played “Money Can’t Buy Everything” (Alfred).
She played in front of about 175 people.
She played flawlessly.
She even earned herself a trophy.
We are so proud of her!
And she is proud of herself . . . rightfully so.
And while we are on the topic of our girl child . . . this picture was taken on Halloween.
She is beautiful. I know, I know . . . I’m slightly biased . . . but wow.
Proud Mama,

A Lizard’s Tale

in California, Stories about the boy Tags: lizard
Those of you who know my son know that he isn’t exactly gentle when it comes to handling the various creepies and crawlies that he collects.
So when he started hollering from the back patio the other day and I walked out and saw this . . .
and this . . .
I had to cringe.
“G . . . did you pull off his tail?”
“No, Mom! He played his trick on me. He dropped his tail so I’d think he was dead.”
I had no idea that a tail dropped by a lizard continues to flip . . .
and flop . . .
and wiggle around for a full ten minutes.
Very disturbing.
G had to keep it . . . it being the tail. The rest of the lizard made a successful escape, much to G’s dismay.
“It’s still alive, Mom.”
“Uh, huh.”
He even poked holes in the Ziploc® so the tail could breathe. How thoughtful.
And I’m sure you all are just itching to accept a dinner invitation now that you’ve seen my silverware in action.
Cheers,
D

It’s nice to know that equal opportunities are extended to both men and women by the wildlife in California, too.
Ugh,
