A computer glitz

My computer has been infected by a virus which has rendered it useless. It will go the shop tomorrow. So I just have my phone for the time being. Not as easy for typing and formatting. Easy for photos. so here are photos with minimal typing.

This time of year is "fruitcake weather." Ellen makes fruitcakes and we invite a couple of friends - this year Nan, Andy and Robin - to be here while she bakes and I read Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" aloud. The story ia a charming remembrance of Capote's childhood when he lived with an elderly eccentric spinster "cousin" who made fruitcakes every year. We never tire of this wonderful tale!

December 9 & 10 were River Singers concert days. These are pre-concert photos showing the room and some people. Both concerts were "standing-room only" and very well received.

Ellen also makes "figgy pudding." This is a smaller one.
