Musings of May

I think I've mentioned this before, but why does May have to fly by so quickly. The weather can be so perfect, the flowers blooming, birds singing, etc. but everyone is in such a hurry that it's hard to find the time to enjoy it. We did have a nice weekend, but even a long weekend in May isn't long enough to do everything. Here's the highlights:
*We attended "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon. It was good, but our cheap seats made it difficult to catch some of the nuances of the performances. I enjoyed the music though and the singers were very talented. Afterwards, we picked up CS at his house and went out for an early supper at D'Amicos. It was an Italian deli with lots of great salads and pasta and pizza. It was very quick and fairly reasonably priced.
*On Sunday we went down to Iowa for the day to see DH's family. His dad is turning 90 today, and we couldn't make it for the celebration this weekend, so we went early. We also saw DH's oldest brother and his family at their house. They have a pool, so the boys had fun swimming and CS had his best friend who goes to ISU over to join us for supper. Then we took the Grandparents back to their home, dug a few perennials to take home, and headed back home. SD drove the whole way home since she was anxious to be home.
*On Monday, we did some yard work, then met friends for "Angels and Demons" and went back to our friends home for a pot-luck meal. That was a lot of fun too, we had a Mexican themed meal with some delicious tacos, corn salad, chips and salsa, flan, and margeritas and sangria. Yum.
*SD had her final orchestra concert Tuesday night and we had DH's other brother and family back for dessert afterwards along with some other family friends. The concert was great and a little bittersweet since it's her last one for now. She hopes to be in an orchestra in college too.
*The rest of the week is a blur, but here it is Friday again. Another assembly at school this afternoon, so that will make for an easy day. This weekend will be a rush to do things at home to get ready for graduation next Friday and the party the following weekend. I've got some fun pictures to post of the foxes living in our yard, my flowers, etc, but that will have to wait for another day.
