With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 104 - April 22: Visit from a Cousin


A few months ago, Stuart was asked to join the Wind Ensemble at school - a small, select group that meets before and after school.  Just before our vacation, the Wind Ensemble competed in a statewide competition and won a gold medal.  Today, all gold medal winners were invited to participate in a concert at Mechanics Hall in Worcester, just down the road from Clark University where my nephew, Mark goes to school.  Stuart rode the bus with the other kids to the concert, Douglas was in Chatham checking on his job, and Lane had social commitments.  That left me to bring the four grandparents (with two canes and a walker!) to the concert, stopping along the side of the road to pick up Mark on the way.  We found the handicapped accessible entrance easily and got to our front row seats just in time for a beautiful performance by Stuart's group.  After the concert, Hank treated us to lunch in nearby Grafton and then we returned to Medfield, with Mark in tow for an overnight visit.
