"It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone..."
Oh, it was a good day. Positively...grand. How can it not be, when your dad meets you in his driveway with a martini before you're even out of your car? how can it not be, when you're singing and dancing to con te partiro on a sunday afternoon in his living room? how can it not be, with precious daughters by your side? how can it not be, enjoying it with a fabulous friend named barb and her son jake? how can it not be, biting into a max and erma's chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven?
grand, indeed.

And it was a grand joy to have your girls come home...and introduce you to the exquisite friends they have met along the journey--to be with them when you cannot. And, like a sweet puppy woeful eyes ask "Can I keep her?" I say a resounding yes to Barb. Nothing edgy about her except for her heart...the edges of which touch you before she enters the room. Have a fab week, CJ!
You have a sweet Daddy and a sweet life, my dear! Soak it all up, girl! :)

You deserve a good life.
Not just one day.
Cheers to martinis in driveways and for finding that good life.
Love you...miss you...
oh. one more thing. that girl singing that song used a pitch corrector compressor in the recording (last note) at the end. not really her voice. not to burst your bubble. listen for the "wave" of sound and you'll hear it correcting the pitch....
just sayin'....I've done my research, you know.
Martini + Dad + Girls + Barb & Jake = Grand Day. So glad you got one of these days you deserve it, you have been working hard! Hope it was super relaxing sounds like it was!
Love your writing and YOU!
AWWWW. You had ME at HELLO!!!! Sniff. It was so great to finally get that hug! I look forward to many more living room dances, and life's joys shared. ;)
Hey C!
Isn't your dad simply GREAT? Love the hand-delivered Martini at your car! Your family always know how to celebrate....big and little things.
Kudos to you for the new happenings in your life that YOU made happen. New doors are opening...and leading you in new directions. I am very happy for you! Take some pics of your new wardrobe! You have such talent and are an inspiration. I am thinking you have aced Shopping for Success 101!
Love you sweetie
