We're home!!

We are home! We arrived yesterday evening, just in time to go to our River Singers rehearsal - in time, actually,  to get a bowl of soup before the rehearsal (a fund-raiser for the church where we rehearse). We had listened to the River Singers songs in the car as we drove along, so the fact that we had missed the first rehearsal was not painfully obvious.

Our drive from Bath, NY to home was lovely. We stopped at the Penn Yan Diner for breakfast - a favorite stop in the Finger Lakes Region and a town I lived in from 1967-69 - almost 50 years ago! It hasn't changed that much, really. Sort of amazing.

Then we drove along the NY Thruway while we listened to lectures on Questions of Value and I read aloud from Dr. King's writings, this time his talk about W.E.B. Du Bois. Very interesting and informative. It inspired me to want to read DuBois - I think i read parts of The Souls of Black Folk back in the 60's, but I have not read has major work, Black Reconstruction. 

We stopped for rice and beans at Popeye's in Troy, NY, so we hit all our favorite spots.

This morning we took it easy. Now I'm at the pool, Ellen is shopping, I just picked up our held mail. Tonight we will rehearse Rachmaninov's Vespers. The temperature is in the 70's - incredibly warm for this date. We are pleased that Bernie carried Michigan yesterday.
