House Warming

A few weekends ago we journeyed up to Baldwinville, MA to join Kerry & Dave in their house warming party. And those lucky home owners also got to be the cooks.

Playing with Dr. Phibes was a highlight of the trip. On Sunday we took a hike with Marty, Kathy and Kerry. They are fortunate enough to live literally right next door to a state park in MA.

Classical Music in the Berkshires

Last night we drove up to Tanglewood to see Beethoven’s 8th Symphony performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The weather held out wonderfully. The only bad thing was we forgot to bring bug spray. We set our blanket and chair and enjoyed a great show. For $16.00 a ticket you can’t beat it. You get to relax, listen to wonderful music in an absolutely beautiful setting.
