Sunday- Inventory of my Travel Wardrobe for this Summer, Return to the Choir Loft, Mother's Day Celebration, BeaBea's piano recital

This morning I took inventory of my travel wardrobe for this summer.  Must find all items and stow them in my suitcase.

It was a return to the choir loft for the Fourth Sunday in Easter.  Don directed, Ken was at the organ, and Becky cantored.  We sang;

The King of Love my Shepherd Is
Kyrie from Mass XVI

Gospel Acclamation (M. Vulpius)
Preparation of the Gifts-  Magnificat (J. M. Thompson)

After Mass we skipped the coffee and doughnuts after Mass to go to 279 South for a Chinese buffet for Mother's Day.  Om Nummm.  Then it was time to return via Noblestown Road to home, prepare a single rose for BeaBea's recital.
It was notable that this was BeaBea's first recital no longer as a beginner student in the Music Preparatory School.  She was the tenth performer on the program, the third non-beginner student to perform, and the first non-duet non-beginner student to perform.  She performed "Rondino" by Rameau.  In her division, the two brothers(?) M. were notable in their emotiveness of Haydn's Piano Concerto in D Major, 1st Movement, and of D. Kabalevsky's "Toccatina," respectively, and Linda K. had beautiful intonation of J. Krieger's "Minuet," all at their young age.

We took photographs of various permutations of us, of Bea Bea with her teacher, and of our group.  A kind young woman student volunteered to talk our photos with all the various cameras.  As we chatted after the photographs, Charles was there, so we greeted him and passed along well wishes to his mom and his whole family.
