Ok. It's true. When I don't write for a few days, I loose track of when something happened. I think it was Thur a.m. Even if I've shared this before, it's a wow story. I was looking out the window, watching the birds at the feeder. There was Greyling, The Fairy Princess. She bent her knees and leaped straight up. This feeder is high. She's still a kitten, and she jumped like an olympic athlete. She batted the bird. The bird got away but I was amazed.
We had a pleasant trip to B town. It was cute to see Luke and Xavier walking out of the school. When X gets in the car, he wants to tell me about his success in video games. At home, he didn't have much homework and we didn't push it. I turned off the wall switch and messed up the t.v. so he couldn't play. He was frustrated and ran around a little bit, but not too much. He couldn't figure out how to play his computor game or even watch t.v. He went upstairs, where Luke was having a nap, and wanted to watch t.v. I asked him to let Papa sleep, and he wouldn't. I said quietly that I was disappointed, and went down stairs. I was reading one of his new books when he came down. I read to him and he got quiet.
Rain and Ry came home with Violet. The kids and I went upstairs to play bear games. It was fun. Violet is so very and clear in her speech. She's so small that it makes everything she does seem extra cute.
After dinner, I watched Max and Ruby videos with the kids.
2/26 I was looking out the window when I saw a squirrel. He had climbed high and out onto a thin branch. You wouldn't think it could hold him. When the wind blew, the branch bounced up and down--like a circus act or a kid's ride. He was playing.
After work, MKate and I ate dinner at Chez Shapiro. Then, we went to an ICO concert. It took place in the Art Museum in their new film theatre. The orchestra played for a silent film. The score was written by a modern composer in the style of. My fav was a film by the great and amazing star, Harold LLoyd. After a serious injury to his hand, this man performed feats that were mind blowing. He created a sense of excitement that brought the audience to it's feet--for him and for our amazing ICO and Luke--concert master.
2/26 All my life I've been jealous of those women, mostly models , who have the magic silken hair. I don't. I do the best I can, and my hair looks o.k. but not magic. Em gave me a session with her hair dresser, Eric, who --in three short hours-- gave me silken hair. Model hair. The kind I've always wanted. I'm soooo excited.
