Für Katie ...



... my "baby," who was playing Für Elise when I took this
photo.  Today is her 28th birthday—though I can't imagine
how THAT happened in what seems like so much less than
28 years.  I mean, c'mon, I remember when she was born
like it was yesterday!

  1. Für Elise: When I first heard that above I thought you were talking about a mink stole for rent (oh no, that would be "Lease a Fur") but Katie's sleeve looks more elegant on her than mink or even ermine. Sleeve? Rather those (whew) hands and fingers (whew).

    Hey, twenty eight, so, it finally dawns on me that this is the actual age of Aquarius.

    (Looks like option then u then u again might produce an umlaut.)

  2. It was just yesterday, Alexa; time passes just sooo fast. I have a daughter about the same age, and a son a little older....

  3. Thanks, TG -- I fixed it. Think I tried everything BUT that (options, and shifts, and apples—oh my). Yes, the child has the biggest hands and longest fingers I've ever seen on a woman (with the possible exception of my former ophthalmologist, Renée Richards, but I guess that would be like comparing apples and oranges).

    Bibi -- I have one a bit older too. (I must have been a child bride. You too?)

  5. Beautiful Alexa. I can tell you are a proud mama...and deservedly so. The gift of music is the gift that keeps on giving. ;-)

  7. Tall GMan...that was fun! I think I recall Art Tatum handling that quite well with just his two hands though. ;-)
