Last night we attended our daughter’s first violin concert.  I have to say it was a huge success.  The school gym was packed full of family members and friends.  There were so many people there that you couldn’t even find standing room.  You could tell that the children had really practiced very hard and their playing of the instruments reflected this quite nicely.  I was very proud of my daughter and I could tell that she was very proud as well.

Not only was it a violin concert, but it was also the choir’s concert as well.  And yes, they did an amazing job as well.  You could really tell that they were having a wonderful time on stage.  I am so happy that this was a positive experience for my daughter and I can’t wait to see her future performances.

Yesterday I was reading an article in one of our local papers about a new treatment center that our government would like to build in our area. It really scares me to think that drug addiction has gotten so bad in our area that we need a new facility for people to go to to receive mesothelioma treatment. We have only lived in this area for about eight years an it amazes me how much this area has grown up as well as how much crime has erupted. If the problem in this area is as bad as they claim it to be, then I am quite happy that they are considering a new facility. I just wish that it had never had to come down to this.
