Do Re Mi So Proud
I used to be so embarrassed when my mother would call one of her friends or write one of her sisters to brag on our good test grades or awards or whatever. I would inwardly groan and think, “Omigosh. Did she have to tell everybody about that?”
I have become my mother.
Rachel (high school) and Lois (middle school) each competed with several hundred students in our region (San Antonio and surrounding towns) for spots in the Texas Music Educators Assocation Region XII Choirs. Lois – her second time to place in middle school – took 17th chair Alto. Rachel – her first time to place in high school – took 10th chair Alto.
And there’s Rachel, 10th Chair Alto - Back row (natch), third from the right. Rachel estimated about 75% of the girls were from our district (NEISD) and those formals are uniform.
Yes, I have become my mother. Watch for me to start completing crossword puzzles in ink, and arriving at church 20 minutes before the custodial staff unlocks the doors.

Oh – and by the way - Rachel and Lois got those beautiful voices from her.
Hey - It's Us!
