Franchesca's piano score on Student Achievement Tests
earned her an invitation to the Holland Piano Teachers Honors Recital.
This isn't the first year her scores were high enough.
This year though, she said yes.
It was a grand reason to dress a bit more cultured, if you will
(i.e. no mud, field or cowboy boots).
And yet another reason to haul
my camera around.
To say that her playing was the most moving,
touching, meaningful piece
feels ridiculous-
too predictable,
as though any mama would ever suggest
anything to the contrary.
It is the truth though. You must believe me.
For me the aftermath was fraught with wild, freezing wind, while chasing
uncooperative photo subjects, simultaneously holding my dress down
with one hand.
I now have more sympathy for the paparazzi.
It was almost as if they dared me
to let go of my dress.
Did I mention chasing my hat?
