Lots happening!

Things are hopping. Ellen has gone to New York City today to meet her friend Adrienne and drive her to Boston tomorrow. I'll be spending tomorrow with my friend John Nissen in Manchester, VT. Both Adrienne and John are dealing with serious cancer issues. Since our return from our trip I have led the Dummerston Church choir and gotten back into Christmas Oratorio rehearsals with the Chorale. Ellen has run a cooking school for her grandson, Ben, visited her friend Wallace at the Cummington, MA Fair, visited Katie & Savanna, and prepared a church coffee hour. We both have sung at a memorial service, visited John Nissen (with food), had a Hallowell sing, and seen Tamar in a play.  Plus cleaning around the house to reduce the mildew odor.

The cooking school was fun and culminated in a meal that Ellen and Ben served to Mimi, Jerry, Julie and myself, with Tamar as server. Tamar was lovely in her role in the play - as you can see.

The main course: salmon, risotto, carrots and haricot vert

Fab dessert!
