Mr. Wade's 20th

Last weekend we went to College Station to help out Elizabeth's family with their move to their new home. It is a beautiful home with an amazing backyard--they are going to love it. We also went to my former Women's Chorus director's surprise 20th yr party. Jess Wade is the conductor of both the (Fightin' Texas Aggie) Women's Chorus and the mixed choral group, The Century Singers. The party was held at the TAMU Vice President's home and was really lovely.

A few funny, recent moments with Evelyn:

[During a conversation where Evelyn was exclaiming how cute little babies are and in particular, their pinkie fingernails]

Erin: "Babies are cute, but children are cute, regardless."

Evelyn: "Yes, children are cute and artists."

[Because Evelyn's hair used to be very curly and is now only wavy, we have transitioned from using conditioner post-shower (to leave some conditioning heft to handle the frizz) to using conditioner in the shower after shampoo.]

Evelyn: "Man, Mom, this whole conditioner AND shampoo thing IN the shower is really starting to bother me."

[After listening to the song "Gloria" by Laura Branigan, where the word "Gloria" is repeated excessively in the song.]

Evelyn: "Man, that lady's crazy about Gloria."
