Mea culpa....I got distracted

 Community (noun)

   1. A group of people who live in the same area.

  2. A group of people who have the same interests.

I like the word Community. I’m very lucky. I live in a great neighborhood. I have a great group of friends and colleagues that I can meet with in person and on line. I was reminded by one member of said communities that I haven’t posted a picture of how we greeted Trick or Treaters on Halloween.

Mea culpa

I got distracted.

I’m playing the folding organ built by the Bilhorn Brothers. It’s fun! I usually play a medley of happy English dance music and Trumpet Tunes. Think wedding music and Masterpiece Theater hosted by Alistair Cooke.

Yes, you pump it like the reed organs from the late 19^th-early 20^th century. It’s a bit of a workout, but fun!

For my next finish....

 

I was volunteered to finish this lovely tree for the donation to Christmas in the Adobes. Ulp!!

And 'tis finished

 

I like the way this came out. I’m playing with the camera on my new phone. I took several shots against several different backgrounds. All of them came out nice. This camera will spoil me!

I’m continuing to organize and cull through everything. It’s amazing how a move will force that issue, but a remodel will really make you work!! I’ll be starting something new next week, for now…..

Tis finished indeed

Edging complete

 

If you’ve been along with me on this adventure of life, you know I can’t leave well enough along when simplicity is called for….normally. Sometimes in my old age, I get it simple.

This edging will go around the ornament I’m working on with the EGA stitchers. Check back before next week for a view of the ornament suitably laced.

Bach Fest Auction

 I’ve had questions about this fundraiser. In an abundance of caution, it was decided not to add this event to the schedule of this “interim festival” due to COVID-19 statistics. So much of the music this festival focuses on is vocal music. That is still an activity that needs care to participate in. So, many of the traditions are still postponed. We’re hoping in 2022, when the Festival is back in full strength, that it will be possible to offer all the wonderful art for auction. Stay tuned!

Festival Time

 It is wonderful to reconnect with Bach Fest folk. There has been so much anticipation. We’re well into week 1 of concerts and it has been fabulous. For those local to Monterey/Carmel area, see you at the Fest!

The aniticpation is building!

 I will be distracted for the next few weeks. (I know, I’m ALWAYS distracted.) Carmel Bach Festival opens this Saturday. It will be fun to sit and listen and listen and learn and……

Oh, and one of the fine organs in the area is back up and running after a major refurbish. I’ll be celebrating that also.
