Happy Friday! Despite my title, today was a pretty good day.
After doing a few chores this morning I took the girls to an outdoor, lunchtime, FREE concert at a nearby shopping center. Now this place is in a very affluent suburb of Toledo, and it's one of those "outdoor mall" concepts...with shopping, movie theaters, restaurants and apartments. It's very sophisticated, so clearly, so DO NOT fit in there! But I don't care! I knew they would enjoy the string quartet, and it gave me a chance to relive my music ed major college days. And did I mention it was FREE?
We packed our lunch and I purposely packed it in a recycled bread bag, just to see if I could get some looks. LOL It was a beautiful day and the girls really did enjoy the music. They recognized several songs from "Little Einsteins" (which have words on the show) so they were happily singing along. This is what caused all the dirty looks from the crowd, made up of mostly retired age folks. At what point do people forget that they ever had young children?
No matter. We indulged ourselves with some ice cream and then stopped by Yankee Candle. I finally bought an electric tart warmer, that I've been wanting since Christmas. Early birthday present. :-)
Tomorrow I'm taking two scrapbook pages and two photos over to our county fair. Wish me luck!

Hey Michelle,
I think older people do forget what little children are like. My friend Debby and I have promised eachother that if we get grouchy in our rockers that we need to kick eachother or hit eachother with our canes! LOL

Children are a gift from God above and will keep us young. Some people say they make us old but they really keep us young if we spend time with them and pay attention to them.
