I left early in the morning to fly to Tacoma. I attended a one day conference for choral music teachers. It was called a "Reading" which means you listen to tons of new arrangements for choir and pick what will work for your students. It was just what I needed, but I didn't know I would be doing the reading along with all the other choir directors and excellent guest conductors. We sightread from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm--covered a lot of ground and what excellent singers!
In my absence Kipp got the troops rounded up for an evening departure for Alaska. They had lunch at the Kountry Korner. Hannah had a happy finale to her perfect hamburger quest. After countless hamburgers across America, grandpa's concoction topped the list. Wow! This quest may have contributed to her inch of growth on this trip--vertically.
It's always tough to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa and aunts, uncles, and cousins. This place is what I call the Springdale Spa and Resort.
After my day of vocal exercise, I found my brother, Steve, at the SeaTac Airport. He had been on a business trip to Vancouver. We chatted and waited for the rest of the gang to arrive before we all caught a ride to Anchorage.
