Sounds of the Season

Last week was a busy one around here. I worked at the museum all week. Thursday was first Thursday where some stores and art galleries downtown stay open late. To make the atmosphere festive for the shoppers, musicians and groups were scheduled to play music downtown. Anna's school choir was scheduled to sing on one street corner for half an hour and then go to another corner and sing for another half hour. Fortunately, the weather was bearable. I was cold after standing outside for an hour, but not frozen.


Friday morning she had to go to school early to have a rehearsal for the school concert which was that afternoon. She had her first opportunity to play her violin in a recital and the choir also sang. (I tried to upload the violin video, but it just was taking forever.)




I've just read somewhere else a good idea for environmentally friendly gifts. The gift of theatre tickets, show tickets, museum membership, massage certificate, etc. The recipient still gets something fun and not just stuff that consumes resources.
