Looking back, we left Owl's Head, ME last Tuesday, stopped in Bath, ME on the way so Ellen could visit the Halcyon Yarn store, ran into Jim there, who came down to meet music students, then went on to Ogunquit, where we walked the beach, and then Kittery, where we went to When Pigs Fly bread store, and then Bob's Clam Hut where we had lunch, and then on to home. Since being home, we have gone to a rehearsal of the Rachmaninov Vespers, a "cabin fever" workshop with Larry Gordon and Carl Linich, singing Georgian, African and Gospel songs, a wonderful Service at the Guilford Church, a powerful concert of African-American spirituals and songs by Charles Mays, and got together with John and Cynthia. There have also been meetings, Ellen was with Tamar for a while, had a supper and movie date with her daughter, Julie, I spent several hours in the Subaru agency while our Impreza had some major work in anticipation of our trip, and I also did some major cleaning and organizing in my study, which desperately needed it - that is ongoing. So it has been a full time.

After church at Guilford. A group of young people and adults from the church is leaving for Kenya this week, taking with them 80 tie-dyed T-shirts they made for orphans there - on display on the wall. The church has a more than a decade-long connection with the village of Kaiguchu in Kenya, deriving from a visit by Wangari Matthai to the Guilford church back in 2001.
