a perfectly perfect day

The day started deliciously today when my daughter-in-law hosted a tasting party. She is selling a line of spices, sauces and mixes that are really quite flavorful.  Then I attended the Homestead Invitational Marching Band competition. The weather was sunny, crispy cool and the spectators were seated on the west side of the bleachers so the afternoon sun wasn't in our eyes.  A perfect setting for a band competition.  We (my daughter, son-in-law and I) saw all of the class B competitors (medium size schools) and the class A bands from larger schools.  My grandson and granddaughter march in the Carroll High School band in the class A catagory. Today the band performed beautifully. It was the first time I had seen their program this year and it was excellent.  I thought they were very good and, happily, the judges agreed with me.  Carroll took first place for their division and also first place overall. Needless to say we were all very pleased. Congratulations to Carroll!!!
