yesterday to Olathe. checked out a thrift store. went to Ian's orchestra and choir concerts.

downpour complete with thunder and lightning when we exited theater. Violet was terrified. it WAS an awfully long cold walk to the car, but we made it just in time for Koren to get there and unlock it. the kids with Koren were all "oh no, Grandma doesn't run!"

drove home today through Trenton. checked in with mom. looked at water damage in diningroom from leak. dentist appointment. picked up Ann & Izzy and to Zerelda's concert, which was excellent. you could hear her singing. she loves to sing, just like her dad. many comments from teachers about how she has really come into her own at school. the girl is really flourishing there. I am so proud of her. and so happy for her.
