The temperature will drop twenty degrees or so tonight and it will storm. Today Bob and I took KK, Danny, and Zachary (gorgeous white Cats style cat with feather boa, frightening sparkling Twilight style vampire, and debonair pirate) to the annual symphony orchestra's children's concert. We went intending to buy tickets but somehow got comped, which was great. We've been going to these concerts in or mostly in costume since Joanna and Ruth were little. My feather boa is orange. I'll even wear it to work on Friday - a once a year pleasure. There's still lots of sorting and thinning to do here, but progress has been huge. We have developed a weekend routine which involves trips to the Farmer's Market, which is a highlight of my week. Cooking is more fun than it's been in a very long time - probably because it's shared. Bob worked hard this weekend on selecting three native American songs and creating basic choreography for an assembly at his school in a couple of weeks. I seem to be resisting writing here - maybe because life is just good in a simple way - not sure. I don't want to let this venue slip.

Victoria, thanks for posting! I miss having you write here. Are you writing more anywhere else, or just not writing much at all these days? Well I certainly know how that goes (considering how sporadically I write...) but am always happy to read about your life, as well as the window it provides into the lives of the other generations there with you.

Glad to see you back in this blog. I'd checked most days, so I was pleasantly surprised today. How neat that you were able to take costumed KK, Danny, and Zachary to the children's concert.

I understand your enjoyment of Farmers' Markets. I share that with you!

I will check back again soon...

What a fun tradition to go in costume to the Children's symphony. Your grandchildren are so fortunate to have such involved grandparents.
