Today is our son-in-law's birthday. We left him a singing message on his cell phone. I'm so old I miss the land lines and ability to actually connect with another human. Now it's all messages and texts. I finished wrapping presents yesterday, and tomorrow my younger son and I will tackle grocery shopping for our party. We're trying to do as much ahead as possible. It's fun having someone else to plan and help. Maybe that is going to be almost as much fun as the party itself!
In the meantime I am practicing for our concert tonight and washing and cleaning. Last night my husband and I watched "Super *" and it was great fun. Then I continued my reading of "Judgment of Paris" about the Salon de Refuse and the Impressionists. Some of it I knew, but I am learning about the emperors of France and artists like Messionier. It's educational, and I'm seeing more the impact of modern artists like Manet, who is one of my all time faves. A lot of his paintings are still disturbing. I think it is because he engages us so directly - and the engagement is a kind of conspiracy, even now.
I'm heading off to lunch with a friend. We'll catch up. She has a baby granddaughter I want to hear all about!
