271/365 Letting Go

Autumn days are for watching
the way auburn leaves fall and
kiss the earth to show
that the trees have made peace
with letting go

 270/365 Fall

The leaves are changing much too soon.

 268/365 Pineapple

We spent the day at the kids house helping out today and I spotted their Pineapple plant. They planted a pineapple top over a year ago (maybe 2!) and it now has a pineapple on it!

And she is very proud of it. We are just waiting for it to change colour. 

 

 266/365 Swimming with Isla

It wouldn't be a good visit without some swimming in the pool with Isla. Perfect after school fun time. 

It was about 36C - the non heated pool was around the same temperature. Nice!! 

 265/365 Happy 10th birthday Isla

It is 6 days early but we wanted her to have her birthday gift before we leave. 

 264/365 Happy 16th Birthday Eva

 263/365 Isla

It was such a thrill and confidence booster for Isla to be included in Eva and Norah's High School Seussical the Musical production. Here she is make up on, ready for her second and third show! 

 262/365 Seussical the Musical

Three performances and we attended two of them. What a show!! They all did exceptionally well in their roles. So many songs to learn and dance steps to execute perfectly. 

So wonderful to see so many of our grands involved in musical theatre. I was never involved in theatre growing up but our kids were heartily introduced to theatre and music at The Kings School (Thank you Jane Ryder and Dave Ferguson) and it stayed with them because their children are now very involved and completely comfortable on stage.
