The second recital was this afternoon and it went just as well as the one last week. Same number of performers and same size audience, within one or two. They ate more ice cream, though – we finished the whole gallon. But Dad did walk around asking people if they would like a little more. I have a lot of brownies left, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
So, all that is left for the year is one jury to play for Tuesday and the middle school concert a week from Thursday. In three weeks, I have a totally empty calendar, something I have not seen in some time!
We worked down in New Auburn on the house after the recital. I worked on sheetrocking the downstairs closet while Dad was mudding the upstairs room. We didn’t get either totally done before we decided it was time to head home for the evening. But we got some done, and any progress is progress!
The neighbor came and plowed our garden plot out in the country, but he still has to come and disk it (or is it disc?) Right now it is rows of fresh turned-over dirt, nothing we can really do anything with. Disking it will knock it down a little more, then rototilling it and raking it should get it ready to plant. Dad didn’t think it looked big enough, but I thought it looked plenty big. I was envisioning hoeing all that dirt and it is a lot!
That’s so exciting–so close to a free summer! 🙂
