Wednesday the 29th: Music of the Week

 *We had the KCKCC Jazz Summit yesterday, so our Chamber Singers sang a set of four songs along with me, a drummer, a standing bass, and alto sax. They did a great job.

*Next week is our last choir concert with everyone and then a trip to St. Louis with about 40 choir students.

Tuesday the 28th: Relics

 My parents have had their silverware and silverware trays since the 70s when they got them from a rectory that was closing. No notes.

Monday the 27th: Saint of the Week

 St. Catherine of Siena is the saint for April 29. A Dominican Tertiary, she had the stigmata, a mystical ring given her by Jesus, infused knowledge, and was instrumental in getting Pope Gregory XI to end the Avignon Papacy and return to Rome.

Friday the 24th: Spring Break Tradition

 The Son and I always go out for breakfast at some point over spring break even if he doesn't really have spring break anymore. We went to First Watch and really enjoyed it. The boy got a fun juice.

Thursday the 23rd: Food of the Week

 *Tonight I'm making French Toast and sausage, nothing fancy. This is assuming that my kitchen is available to cook! It's being painted at this moment.

 *Tomorrow is going to be Grilled Cheese sandwiches, again, nothing fancy. 

*Wednesday night the Son made Lemony Lentil Soup from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. He's still learning what a lentil tastes like when it's completely cooked (they needed about 30 more minutes) but the rest of the soup was really good.

*Tuesday we ate pizza when we got back home from unpacking the Uhaul at the new house after we closed.

*Monday I made corn and black bean quesadillas. I scaled up the original recipe to make 6 and then used extra filling to make some nachos.  

*Boys were gone on Sunday so it was just leftover for me!

Wednesday the 22nd: Music of the Week

 *This week is preparing for State Solo festival. I have 5 soloists, 3 voice and 2 strings, to accompany.

The first one is at 8 a.m....in Salina...almost 3 hours away. So it's going to be a VERY EARLY morning.

Monday the 21st: New House

So we bought a new house. We will all live there together in August; until then it's a little crazy. The Husband is staying there for three days while working in town so he gets to do the first arranging and unpacking.
