Just a quick post before I head out the door… I’m going to my annual spinning workshop with Judith MacKenzie up on Orcas Island, for all of the coming week. This year’s theme is “Fine & Fuzzy” and I will report back on what exactly that meant when I return!
We had a sociable weekend. On Thursday there was a surprise 65th birthday party down at the Methow Valley Inn in Twisp, so we were able to socialize with a number of folks we haven’t seen for a while. The birthday gal is a former neighbor up Benson Creek.
On Friday there was a music event sponsored by Methow Arts at the Barn in Winthrop. The group, called The Lost Fingers, was from Quebec City. An acoustic trio (2 guitars and a string bass), they play standards of the gipsy jazz repertoire (à la Django Reinhardt, who lost 2 fingers in a fire, hence the name of the group) as well as their arrangements of hits of the 80’s. They were fabulous musicians and there was a definite sense of playfulness and humor to the music. Not sure it is something I would listen to all the time, but as a live performance it was great! For the second set, they came out in raspberry pink outfits, and half the crowd was up and dancing by then.
The kitties are settling in really well. Juno is one of the most personable cats we have ever had – confident and loving and playful. She and Stormy are hanging out during the day, and playing together quite a bit. We think they are going to be buddies.
Juno - ready for action!
Stormy wouldn't pose - so these came out more like "Fog"
