Monday morning e and I walked to the library to pick up a book held on reserve, the fifth installment of the Outlander series. While there I found another book for e, a version of "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" that includes a new couplet for each stanza instead of just repeating the first phrase. For instance, "She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, Toot Toot. She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, Toot Toot. Yes, she'll whistle like a train as she speeds across the plain. She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes." Very clever lyrics, and "she" is the Bonnie Bandit, a young girl with long braids. We've read or sung that book at least 10 times already.
Monday afternoon a fellow piano teacher I know from chorus came by to look at the music I purged from my files. Carolyn and I enjoyed chatting about teaching, retirement, husbands at home all the time. When e woke up she came down and allowed Carolyn to play with her, and they had fun with the stacking cups. I think I would like to get to know Carolyn better.
Sometimes when I pause while blogging I return quickly to finish the post. Other times, not so much. It is now Sunday morning. EeK left Friday night for PV and Bella's first birthday party Saturday. Today they will continue to Phoenix. Our house is quiet with just Randy and me...and James. I've made a list of things to do before they return next month.
