Today I had my first lesson outside of Opperman and the Juget Sinclair in First Presbyterian Church. It was AWESOME! The reverberation and and and..................... :) And then Dr. Quinn put on more stops and it was soooooo loud! In a VERY nice way :)
That was good fun :)
I'm glad this week is over! Mostly anyway. Trying to do too many things, as always.........
The sunrises have been beautiful beyond believe. I remembered enjoying them at this time of the year last year on the way to school before it gets too late and when the time changes. When I hit Tennessee with the wide open spaces behind me! So I was caught at the long light at Bronough this morning and I was turning around to look at it because looking in the side mirrors just doesn't do it! But I had to keep turning around because I was first in line. Did that too many times till the driver beside me wound his window down to ask if everything was ok and I told him I was fine and that I was just looking at the sunrise because the colours were soooo beautiful! He glanced at his side mirror and gave a half-chuckle and that was it and I was like "????!?!!!!!" Gosh! To think I was commenting that there isn't enough pink just the evening before. Not for sunsets but the sunrises!
Unfortunately this was a subdued version because this was after I parked Charlotte and that took some time :)

The weekend was good. Went to Blountstown with Caroline and slept out under the stars. We were blessed with a beautiful clear night and as many stars as one can get in Florida, which is quite a lot! Saw faintly, the familiar sight of the milky way :) AND a BIG shooting star, which I made a wish on because Caroline reminded me to! (Otherwise I tend to forget in all the excitement) That same familiar feeling of trying to stay up but being too sleepy. And of course, the mozzies. About 10 face bites! And 4 finger ones. A beautiful Florida sunrise, with birds that are a little too big, and mist on the ground, soaking wet sleeping bag and pillow, and too little pink, but a lot of my favourite light light blue and beautiful clouds. It was all in all, gorgeous :)
Had a good amount of swing time in too. It's been a while so that was welcome :) Did a little hike and had good food and company and laughter.
Biked 150km this weekend too. Cleaned Charlotte and the bike and the room and everywhere so I'm all prepared for September!
Yippppeeeee!
So, I got a parking coupon because I didn't display my temporary permit on Charlotte in the garage. $30 fine! Very expensive and painful!
So I wrote in an appeal and while tuning a faculty studio's piano this morning, I prayed if God would let the fee be waived, that all that money will go towards FeedOne instead. At about that same time, emails came into my FSU mail to say it's been waived because my permit was returned to the office. All in God's timing and planning.
His love is so amazing, words are so inadequate.
Today I discovered that Joplin's original version of his Maple Leaf Rag, is the PERFECT tempo to running track intervals! :)
