Singing in Spain!

I was so disappointed that not only my pregnancy due date of late April, but then my unforeseen illness prevented me from ever even thinking about chaperoning my daughter's choir tour to Spain in June, but I was a bit broken-hearted thinking I would never even get to hear her sing sacred music in those ancient, beautiful basilicas and cathedrals all over the country, some as part of the Granada International Festival of Music and Dance.

So... while not sleeping last night, I stumbled across an old FB post of my husband's linking to a YouTube video of one of their Spain performances.  WHAT?  I did not know these existed. He said he played them for me when I was in the hospital. But those were the ICU days. I have absolutely no memory.

But, if you would like to hear a VERY  talented group of children with an AMAZING director, singing in these beautiful, holy, and ancient places.... Here I am sharing her tour.  Mostly for you, Mom.  And Aunt Sue.  Nobody else will probably listen much. But it is beautiful--at least pick one!  Breton is usually in the back row on the far left (glasses!)

But I'm so grateful that she was able to go and people stepped up the help while I was in the hospital. What a treasure of an experience for her!  She worked very hard to earn a major portion of the money for her trip, but thank you so much, too, to those of you who sponsored her and helped her pay for it!
