Tonight we were at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and were pleasantly surprised to see/hear fellow contra-dancer Susan Ottzen playing the harp in the Garden. It was absolutely beautiful to hear her play and they had bubble machines gently releasing bubbles over the 200,000 tulips that are blooming there. I hope Susan lets the CCD list know next time she is playing there. It was magical.

Piano students of Susan – (this is their mothers report)
I asked our music director at church if the kids (Daniel and Clara) could practice their pieces on the grand piano after Mass. He was very excited and wanted to hear them himself. I told him to ask their piece and key. So they had good practice. He was very impressed and complimentary of you Miss Susan. He said their skills and posture look great.
