It was great to be there with John. It was lovely to see the respect and affection his colleagues have for him at Antioch. We had lunch afterward - there is a really nice little cafe right there where they make very tasty vegetarian food. We took our food to John's "place" - the Herbarium, which he presides over - to eat and talk. Then I came back home, helped schlepp cookies to the church, and helped to make cookie platters.

| Our home was the scene of much cookie-making (and other things) in recent days! |
Then we picked up a friend and she and Ellen went to a concert being given by Kitka, a women's choral group based in San Francisco. They specialize in music from the Balkans. A very special group, singing a repertoire we are familiar with through River Singers. I went home - didn't have a ticket - got some things we forgot to take to the church, cleaned up a bit, came back to pick up Ellen and her friend and found them at intermission. Long concert! But another friend was leaving, gave me her ticket, and I got to hear the second half.

Now we're are at the church finishing up our work for the bazaar tomorrow. Ellen is sewing up a pillow for a raffle, which gives me time to blog. And there is WiFi here! It is snowing hard outside. It's supposed to turn to freezing rain during the night and then rain tomorrow. I hope it doesn't cut down on attendance at the bazaar, and I also hope that it doesn't affect travel for the River Singers concert we are in tomorrow afternoon!
