By the way, the flute recital was great. Every family really gave a neat performance. Besides the flutists, there was cello, classical guitar, bass, saxophone, 3 harpists, another mom violinist, a family who gave the recorders a shot and - best of all - Golda's teacher's family. They changed into overalls and did a piece called Kentucky Wassail. On instruments they didn't play before last week, no less; banjo, hammered dulcimer and mandolin. Even on instruments the just picked up, they were great! I'm so glad we had something semi-prepared. Ruby gave a strong argument as to why she should be excused from Golda's recital to go to her own dance class, so she didn't play with us, but we were given a really good accompanist and we all stayed together until the end. Isn't that what family is about? When Bruce and Marlene arrived to hear us, I said, "Oh, it's so far to drive! You didn't have to come!" Bruce quoted me and said, "The Dopps are a No Matter What Family." Love it! I guess that even applies to flute recitals.

You were all wonderful. You are all so talented. Circ, I demand to hear something at the Dopp Christmas Eve talent show. :) We don't get to hear from often enough. I love to hear you play. In return, I can brush up on my version of my Give Said the Little Stream on the Piano. :)
