http://ofortunaorff.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2014. December is CRAZY, isn't it? So much going on, so little time. etc. I have two concerts that turn into four as the little kiddos come to watch the bigger ones and vice versa, then the concerts for the parents. We call them "Holiday Concerts" but I am very careful to be inclusive and not exclusive about singing songs from various perspective. Tricky, tricky! Or using Artie Almeida's excellent resource, "Parachutes and Ribbons and Scarves, Oh My! In the same book there is a pap...

All this leaves me asking the questions, "Where did the summer go and what did I learn? We were home...
