Yes, it was a beautiful spring day here. Through the afternoon HRH and dstepson took down some branches and did some clean-up outdoors.
blessed, not too much too fast, okay?
Lynlee, your hair looks so nice!
Both dd and I needed a nap this afternoon - now that is stressful social stuff, isn't it? lol
At this morning's rehearsal, one song was completely unfamiliar. We learned it with no time to spare and then had to admit, even with that work, now only 2 people in the congregation would have a clue how to sing it. On another, the minister had decided on a round (I kid you not) without telling anyone else, and we didn't find out until he announced it to the congregation as it came up in the service. He had it on the screen and the congregation was seeing it as a round behind us, but we had no idea.
I couldn't help it - I blurted something out about needing the congregation's help a lot on this. I don't think, between dd's face, my face and our pianist's twirl on the bench so she could stare at him, mouth agape , that anyone could have missed our surprise. I didn't have a view of the two guitarists. Why bother with such careful rehearsals - all anyone will remember is poor communication. Dd and I gave the pianist a wide berth for the rest of the morning. Yipes. She was in no mood.
Dd is back at school now. We enjoyed the trip, making a couple stops for odds and ends. Oh, ds asked her to spend part of summer taking care of the children and she is seriously considering it. I think that would be good for everybody. She doesn't have to be thinking about a resume all the time when she's only 18. She could build some relationships and get some fresh air for all three of them.
I will be searching for normalcy this week. That will be enjoyable.
