Reluctance

I haven't written in awhile - I had asked Emily to read the book with me and it isn't happening. That's because I was leaving it up to her to read. Right. So I will remind her daily. I'm only asking for 10 minutes a day. It is November, and it is the month of heavy rehearsals for the musical. She is Rapunzel in "Into the Woods." Her dad is playing flute and piccolo in the pit, so ... besides being a theater widow, she has this very special experience to remember from her senior year with her dad. I am jealous. BUT she wants me to paint a painting for her. Our song is "Walking on Sunshine." She wants me to paint sunshine. I have NO idea yet for a composition. I may buy the song on i-tunes for inspiration. I have asked her to paint WITH me, so we, too, can have a special senior year experience. I should have her paint HER version of sunshine! I'm liking this.

We went (Emily her dad and I) to see the campus of University of California San Diego. I will write more about that later - it is her second choice, and it was a good experience!
