dogwood in bloom and a studio rehearsal

(dogwood in bloom in abingdon park)

i've been working in the new photo library i have now on the computer. it's a bit confusing and not as easily learned as the prior program. for example, in the past when i exported to the desktop, i could rename each pic and adjust the quality with just one click . . now to adjust quality i need to go through three steps, and i haven't been able to figure out how to rename the file at all.

this is yesterday's studio rehearsal . . 

chanda is basing her new dance on an andrew wyeth painting called full moon:



choosing the painting is part of the class group project, as they're working on the group dance walkaround vermeer, created by their dance teacher several years ago with her partner, george deem.

working on a new step . .

  1. Hello Dorina,

    We have been very busy with my parents here, doing our end-of-year testing, some doctor's visits, saying good-bye to some people, and thinking about how to get back home. I am also finishing up grading my two German courses. It will be bittersweet to leave, but the children really miss Julius :).

    I could not get the video to work. How has life been for you? How are your parents? When is Morgana coming back? Peter is already planning his next trip to Germany/Austria for the summer :).

    Love to all,
    Eva

    1. Hello Eva, Yes, I've been thinking about you and figured you were preparing to leave, along with all the other things you mentioned! It's been very warm here, I think a little warmer than where you are! Next Tuesday it's supposed to go up to 90! I wonder if we will get a spring after that, or if it will stay hot . .

      My parents are the same. My mom is in a rehab right now . . we're not sure what to do with them! I think we may try for an assisted living place next to the rehab . . We have to get their house ready to rent then for the summer. So much to do. I've been going up on weekends and missing everyone at home very much. Morgana has decided to come home in June. We are all happy about that. She's had a wonderful time, but is ready to be home again :)

      I have a cute card that I've been meaning to send you . . I hope I get it out this week . . !! It was nice to hear from you . . good luck with all the grading, testing and packing . . . xoxoxo
