A quiet week

This past week has been one of the quietest we've had in some time, in terms of an absence of scheduled activity. A welcome situation after a very full weekend. No scheduled rehearsals, for example. Ellen read and knitted quite a bit. I got to the pool, spent some time on the fitness machines in addition to swimming, started doing a major clean out in my study, things like that.

The week was not without incident, however. Rob called and asked if we could come out to Boulder and provide some respite, especially for Katie, but also for him. So we'll be leaving Feb. 10th, driving again, and we'll be gone about a month. More on that later as it unfolds.  

Meanwhile, last evening we had a Hallowell sing for a lovely man in the Brooks House - newly refurbished after a fire a few years ago. Beautiful apartments we had been curious to get a glimpse of. 

Today we went to Tamar's school and heard her and Mimi sing in a variety show the school puts on now and then. Mimi had written the song and accompanied on the ukulele. That was fun. Then we had lunch with Katie and Savanna. 

Now it has turned colder after a milder day, the wind has come up, and we are hunkering down.
