Ahhhh, the symphony....

Today was a lovely day.  I went with my 3rd grader's class to hear the symphony.  Have you ever really listened to classical music?  To the strains of Mozart or Vivaldi?  Utterly moving.  I don't cry often....except for some odd reason, at parades or when little children sing.  But today, when that music began, I couldn't help it.  By the time the concert was over, my so-called "waterproof" mascera was all over my face!  My daughter was so impressed.  She was smiling, and had a hundred questions about music and symphonies and composers.  Wonderful!

I had never been to this particular theatre before and as we came out of the building, the sun was just peeking out from behind a cloud, and the water from the river was sparkling like diamonds.  It was truly a beautiful end to a beautiful trip.
