This is the time of year when we all spend a fair share of our time going to end-of-the-year band and choir concerts, sporting events, banquets, recitals and graduations. Yesterday was a big day for all of my piano students. I love that these kids finally get to share some of the music that they have worked so hard to prepare. In spite of all the nervousness, most kids like to have a venue where they can perform for other people. We plan for this event all year long so it is a very BIG deal! I was so proud of everyone that played! Stephanie was a part of the recital and did a fabulous job (if I do say so myself!).
The event was bittersweet for me as I have decided to take most of the year off next year while I help our Filipino kids to adjust to life in the US. I no doubt enjoy the music part of piano lessons. However, the relational part of teaching is just as enjoyable for me. I know that several of my students will be moving on to other teachers or will not be continuing at all. That is the sad part for me. I will surely miss each of my students and am very happy that I had the chance to work with each of them.
Meanwhile...Bjork (Lindsay's boyfriend) graduated from the U of M on Saturday afternoon. To celebrate his accomplishment, Lindsay rented a scooter on Sunday. The two of them "scooted" around the Lake Calhoun area all afternoon! What a great idea! I think it sounds like such a fun outing! Anyone interested in "scooting" with me??

What a fantastic idea the scooter was. I can see you and Allen on one! I am so glad you used the photos of the recital. They look great if I do say so myself! Coffee later this week sounds great!
