Good Morning, America!

I must say that I have a smile on my face and a spring in my step this morning! I am in a great mood! Gosh darn it, I really feel like, for the first time in a while, things are going "doggone" wonderfully! Never again will I be in that sour of a political mood. Cheers and congratulations to Senator Biden!

Grace had an art class yesterday in the morning. The instructor was very nice, as were some families I met. I was a bit saddened to hear that Grace didn't really receive any feedback on her art than "nice choice of colors". She said that she didn't really even get any feedback on how to use chalk pastels, a media she isn't familiar with. She also said that there were parents coming in and out of the class, which bothered her quite a bit. Perhaps her private lessons she'll be taking at home will be a better experience?

On a better note...

Grace, AZGram, Prince Grampy, Mariposa, Ami and I had lunch at an absolutely lovely little restaurant yesterday! It was at a resort and had a lovely view of the mountains! Grace ordered her beloved shrimp and was very content! After lunch, Grace and I headed home with Mariposa and Ami to play! The girls had lots of fun and were, again, sad to part!

race was mesmerized by the sunset on the way home from Ami's and she remarked that , " There is nothing more peaceful than a beautiful sunset. Maybe that is why I feel so wonderful!" I completely agree with her:)

On a more interesting note, Grace has been super-engaged with the song " Into the West", by Annie Lennox. She finds it "hauntingly beautiful" and she has requested that it be played for her when she dies. She "Can imagine nothing more soothing and peaceful to go to sleep for eternity with".
Um...wow.
