Chips is $90 richer today than he was yesterday. Not bad for under ten minutes’ work. He took second place for Intermediate Concerto and second place for Intermediate Solo. He said he would have been happier with blue ribbons, but he played his music really well, and the competition was fierce. We are very pleased, considering all he has been through in the past two weeks.
Here is my family waiting … and waiting … and waiting for Chips’ turn to go perform.
And here are the red ribbons to prove it.
Afterwards, we went to Mac*roni Grill to celebrate. A good day for our family.
Another competition to come in two weeks.
Now I need to rest and get rid of my headache. Will I ever get used to these competitions?

Congratulations, Chips! Well done, sir!
And great picture of your wonderful family, too.
It is a fact that competitions are more stressful for mums than for the participants. (I'm assuming that like mine, your husband gets less stressed by the whole thing!). A huge well done to Chips, particularly after all the disruption to his preparation.
