This morning, three of the kids (James, Keilah, and Lydia) and I went to the Omaha Conservatory of Music for their final piano practice. On Sunday they participate in a recital or concert at a main hall of nearby Mercy Hospital. The kids have really learned to be good piano students, and it is a real joy for grandparents to either hear them practice or watch the recital in person. They have really learned good fingering, and their ability to hit all the keys and have fine music as the result, is just delightful. They all are playing the classics.
Sarah is also learning to play the guitar, and Susannah may actually learn the flute, but that remains to be seen at this stage as teachers are not available. Both of these girls have had some piano lessons but did not really like to practice and have moved on. Sounds like my abilities at the piano.
While the kids were at their rehearsal, I did errands to get gas, groceries, and dessert for dinner from Wheatfields. Lemon pie it is. Probably it will all disappear at dinner time. Yesterday we had the butt end of a ham for dinner, , and we have it so seldom.
Today it was warm enough that HW1 and I walked around the block two times. Lydia went with us and ran around two times to our one walk, and then walked a third time for her while we completed lap two. It was good to get out and do a bit of exercising. In Kerrville we can do that almost every day and have been faithfully exercising to help keep the weight off and to do good thing for our hearts. Happy travels.
