The event went quite well today. It was nice to see so many people there for dancing, etc. I am particularly happy with the choir's performance; I thought we sounded quite well in a nice venue with a sizable, cooperative audience. And I've never seen anyone dance to our performances, so that was a bonus, both with Tanzen und Springen and Belle Qui. The food was good, too, with huge dessert selections!! I hadn't realized until I got home that I never sat down at the event, except for the brief court (15 min?). So I'm tired.

I must destress. [livejournal.com profile] lstrobel danced on both of our last nerves pretty handilly there at the end, and taking a wrong turn on the turnpike didn't help. Though I drove a total of 30 miles out of my way, it's nice to know there's no charge from exit 28 to exit 13.

It was most wonderful seeing so many people there. Pookie enjoyed being in her new umbrella stroller rather than the humungo-model we'd used in the past. And I got rattan!! 18' of it! I can't wait to start making my weapons out of it.

The weather surely cooperated. Really nice 'n sunny all day, not too hot. It just felt too rushed, which I recall being typical when we take Lake to an event and we both have things to do. The choir concert went quite well, being in the barn and all, and Cai and I got to trumpet their Majesties in. That was nice. So was Cooper's chocolate milk. Mmmmmmmmm...... Oh! Got to stroll and chat with [livejournal.com profile] gootmu, which I really enjoyed. I don't get to hang out with him nearly enough.

Henry is currently in my lap, which he is now known to do, which is helping all of this. I think a hot shower, and maybe perhaps a home-brew might help things further. :-)

I've finally cashed in that Amazon gift certificate from the Debatable Choir, and will be getting another straight trumpet (in the hopes of finding a horn worthy of getting multiples for a 4-6 member trumpet ensemble) and a book on the history of brass instruments. I only have to pay a smidgen due to shipping. Yay! Excitement! I also took the leap and have begun my Amazon wish list. I haven't even scratched the surface of the books or CDs, but I have a start, right here. I am disappointed that they don't offer any of the David Carr battle red Texans jerseys, but I'll deal. They're out there, to be sure.
