there'll be some changes made . .

(follow this link to the current blog)

for there's a change in the weather
there's a change in the sea
from now on there'll be a change in me
my walk will be different my talk and my name
nothing about me is going to be the same
i'm going to change my way of living
if that ain't enough
then I'll change the way that i strut my stuff
nobody wants you when you're old and gray
there'll be some changes made - today
there'll be some changes made
for there's a change in the fashions
ask just feminine folks
even Sinatra has been changing his jokes
i must make some changes from the old to the new
i must do things just the same as others do
i'm going to change my long tall daddy for a little short fat
going to change the number where i'm living at
i must have some loving or I'll fade away
there'll be some changes made - right away
there'll be some changes made

another sick day

unfortunately, c was even worse on wednesday . . the fever went higher and though she didn't have a headache, her throat became sore. she's the same today. she's very listless, but still hungry. i'm trying to keep her to cooling foods, and, as you can see, jack is keeping her company.

dance rehearsal

c is working on a new dance for the june recital. she's elaborating on a dance she created two years ago for our homeschooling dance gallery. it's about the creatures in the sea and the waves on the ocean.

met museum visit

m and i visited the metropolitan museum of art today. m is on a search for a painting to bring to life in a dance. it's her teacher's yearly project for her 13 and 14 year olds. they perform the group piece vermeer (choreographed by their teacher, and presenting vermeer's works on stage) and then work on their own personal project based on a painter and his or her painting. we first visited a few turner's, and then wended our way to the american wing to see several of winslow homer's paintings (specifically nor'easter). we were surprised to find that the american wing was under construction for remodeling and therefore -- closed! i didn't think we would be able to see anything when, after studying the information and instructions presented by video on the wall of the wing next to a glass elevator, m interpreted that we could see a few paintings in visible storage. !!! interesting. just what is visible storage you may ask? eh, voila:

more dancing flowers

on the way home from third street today c and i ran into more dancing flowers . . ! i wonder if the occupant of this apartment is also the car owner?
