Welcome Summer!

Yay! It's summer and most of my spring recitals are over! (save violin) I had four of them over the last 3 days and am proud to say that they went very well.

*We are now interrupting this program for a very special announcement. Gracie's loathed orchestra conductor will not be coming back next year, because he has been hired full-time somewhere else. She almost stood up and did a happy dance when it was announced during the concert yesterday.*


My younger sis, Kathleen (age nine), is at standardized testing today and it is very quiet at home. I normally wake up to the sound of her voice.


I finished Chains yesterday,

and I can't wait to start the sequel Forge that it sitting by my bed.Nevr

They are very sad books about slaves in the revolutionary war, but I can't seem to be able to put them down.

I recently did a photo shoot outside with nature, (my sister refuses over and over to participate) so be expecting a picture post soon.

Never stop dreaming,
Gracie

Le happy

Christmas
Hot chocolate
Stockings
The smell of dinner
Hand made ornaments
Finnally finishing my violin piece
Christmas tv specials
Ebenezer Scrooge
Pretend snowball fights
Making paper snowflakes
Seeing the world beautifully
Laughter

Snuggle up beside the fire with a good book,
Gracie
