Lilac

The lilac bush is blooming. The scent, as usual, is heavenly.

 

State music festival

And just like that, another state music festival season is in the books.

My two seniors received Gold ratings this year at State; my freshman, a Silver. All is as it should be.

Aaron has been my voice student for nearly three years. I’m going to be saddened to see him go when the time comes in August.

He will attend Miami University of Ohio next year, studying music.

Grace will attend Oklahoma City University and double major in musical theatre and vocal performance.

Eddy will attend University of Wyoming and major in theatre and special education.

Brigid is still undecided.

My seniors are scattering.

Cufflinks

While these are not from London, I’ve not worn them in a while, so they get a shout today too.

His master’s voice!

These were a Christmas gift from D several years ago.

#TBT: Aunt Esther

Aunt Esther Summers would have been 106 years old yesterday.  She died four years ago, just shy of 102.

This is the earliest photo we have of her, seated on the lap of Elizabeth (Miller) Ficklin, her maternal grandmother.

Elections

Yup. The Senate elections are coming!
