wow. it has been a LONG time (see i knew this would happen. i'd forget or not have time to post and then get SO behind. thanks for your patience!) sorry folks! Tdub has been gone for the last week or so, working in Thailand. not sure how much "work" is actually going on. ;) he will be gone for at least another week, so needless to say, i have been lonely but keeping myself busy with hanging out with other ladies whose husbands are also gone as well as catching up on life! i have about 4 things i need to post. so, i'll start with the most recent. :)

my sweet friend, Melinda, has played the flute her whole life. she got asked by a Japanese school district to play with one of the head principles at the end of the year recital. the principle is retiring this year, so it was a surprise to the students and a last hoo-rah for him. one gold (solid gold) flute and one silver flute echoed through the large auditorium with tons of students eagerly listening on, to "an American" and their "cool" principle. it was lovely.

i came along for support and of course i brought my camera. :) Melinda is about the sweetest, most humble, kind and precious person you will ever meet. being in front of the camera is not her favorite place to be, but she was a great sport as i shot some of her after the recital. thanks, Melinda. you're precious. keep playing, my friend.
