Back into the swing of things

I just returned from a whirlwind 3 day trip that I didn't exactly expect. I mean, I anticipated it coming, but not this quickly. Not a bad thing though. Again it seems the big lesson for me this year has been flexibility and willingness. I saw some of the most beautiful parts of the country, met the nicest people, and had the most enjoyable time despite the fact that it was a full 3 days---packed with action! I did find some time to relax though over a July 4 (rather 3rd) concert and fireworks event.
I returned late Saturday and spent Sunday regaining some rest and getting back into the swing of things for this next week.
It will be a full week, but should be profitable. There is so much still to do and learn for Hello Dolly. I feel it is getting better though. And my students recital is coming up quickly. I am so excited for them! They have worked so hard.

I do have to interject here. On the way home, I drove past a clown---obviously, or hopefully, returning from his part in a July 4 parade. Or perhaps he was going to one. But then, in this day and age, he could dress like that on a normal basis.

Well, I am hoping to enjoy the week. I'll let you know by the end how it all went!
