I had fun posting these on Instagram yesterday for my Corner View "Day in the Life" assignment of the week!  Hope all is going well in your corner of the world. The homemade chocolate sour cream cake with cream cheese frosting has become the staple birthday cake in our house. I wish I could send you a piece!

And that was April.

I suppose the most notable part of it is that we are finally living life a bit outside again with walks and bike rides in the surrounding countryside. Hooray for that! Well, and that Young One had her first-ever public performance with her danza moderna class. The girls and one boy are having great fun with this little class that takes place in the basement "gym" of the local elementary school.

Have we met on Instagram yet? You can find me at dana3ingiro; my 365 project is #3ingiro365. I am delighted to say that it's still rockin' and rollin', thanks to the ease of my little phone camera.

corner view :: music

"Without music life would be a mistake." --Nietzsche

I picked up this little bag several years ago as a souvenir from a quick trip to the Cote d'Azur. It's so typical of the area...a black canvas bag with a quote from a German phiolosopher.  Ha! Hey, at least it's in French! My daughter now uses it for her piano books, and at this stage in her life it couldn't be more fitting.
