Today I went to the MACSA conference held at the Lancaster Host Resort. I took two very good sessions - Balancing Your Private and Professional Lives and Developing Your Choral Program. Afterward I spent a little bit of time at the Corning outlet at Rockvale Square, then headed to West Chester.
I had a great evening with Sam. First he showed me the apartment he shares with another guy, which I had not seen before (even though he's been living there since June). It's a really nice apartment in a very quiet section of the city (has he grown up, or what???!!!) Then we picked up Jess and went to Ruby Tuesdays. I just love Jess. She was telling me about her new job as a foster care caseworker, which led us to reminiscing about how Sam became our son eleven years ago. It was funny how Sam's memory of how it came about differs from mine! Different perspectives of the same event, I guess. I am so proud of Sam. I would just love if certain people from his past - like Berks County caseworker Bob or Mr. Martarano from Manheim Central would happen upon him at his office someday. Not likely to happen, but definitely fun to imagine!
Destiny was Grandpa's girl this evening. When I called home as I left Ruby Tuesdays, Dick said she was coloring and he was watching the Manheim Central game on TV. When I got home at 9:00 she was snuggled up against him on the couch, sound asleep. It looked so cute.
This weekend it's a year since the shocking death of my sister Janet. Tomorrow afternoon some of us will be going to my brother in law's house and to Janet's grave. I still miss her tremendously. I want her to see my house and I want her to see the pictures of Sophie, etc. I miss the funny things that always happened to her. I miss her emails, I miss her encouragement and affirmation. I really, really miss her.
