Senior Mailings

This morning, I mailed my daughter's CMU acceptance letter plus the $600 deposit. The first, I am sure, of many college payments during the next four years. I also mailed Jessica's invitations to the 8 people for whom we have tickets to attend the Harker graduation ceremony (announcements go out later), plus the invitations to her Senior Recital. Jessica has been studying voice with Dina Mirskaya for four years, so she and Dina's other four almost-High-School-graduates get to show off their music in a Senior Recital at Le Petit Trianon in San Jose. We have ordered the food for the recital reception from the Russia Cafe and Deli.

Jessica spent last weekend constructing a mailing list, designing name insert cards, folding and stuffing invitations, putting on labels and stamps and generally learning how to communicate formally with her friends and relations. We had a long discussion of just why there was both an inner and an outer envelope in a formal invitation... I think I remember having this conversation with my own mother many years ago.
