I'm feeling a bit nostalgic on this lovely Friday evening. I have music from middle school filling my ears and find myself looking back on the last few days. I spent the entirety of yesterday morning working the book fair at the elementary school. I painted sweet little cheeks for hours. I can hardly remember myself at that age but, what I do remember, makes me love life all the more... Some of the students were nervous, some were so excited that they literally couldn't keep still. Some talked to me about how much they loved ducks or about their favorite colors or how awesome the Captain America book they bought was, some never spoke a word. They were beautiful and so beautifully different from one another. I can remember how excited a book fair would cause me to get. The euphoria of childhood, how simply stunning...
I must take a moment to tell you... Gabe won 1st place in the Technology Fair for original story. The story was about a zealous little snail who's dream it was to fly. He presented the story by powerpoint and, I must say, it was fantastic. He simply amazes me.
There's a new Axis Mundi show this weekend at the Jazz Club, so you know where I'll be. I'm excited to hear them play, as always. You should join me. You really should. :)
~~May this weekend bring you laughter that makes your sides hurt.~~
