Sat 8 Mar

Getting very excited for vacation. It's been so long in the planning stage that it hardly seems possible it's only a week away. This weekend, we want to get the packing under control as we're not likely to need most of the things we will be taking to a warm climate during the week. We leave very early on Saturday and work all week, so this is when we have time to think about what we need and pack intelligently. So different from my daughter who throws a few things in a small bag half an hour before leaving! (And yet never seems to miss things left behind.) First concert went quite well last night. Mary Hofer came with Lois Slattery; it was so nice to have her there, especially because I had a solo in the Broadway section that she has been helping me to prepare. I felt like it went acceptably well, though of course it could always have been better. Not quite noon and I'm pretty well under control with packing. Feeling much better organized.
