We’re just back from a great new years eve. Diane, Debra and I went to First Night early this evening .. One stop was BCA.. It was a joy to watch the kids play with our Floorish sculpture.

 

 

from there we went to our first concert.. Cricket Blue at the Congo church .

 

Our freind Laura is half of Cricket Blue. I really love their music.  Check them out here. 

 

then back out to church street.. they were setting up for the parade.. but we couldn’t stay to watch 

 

 

next concert was Group Anwar.. great Syrian music 

 

then a show with our freind Frankie.. a great metal guitarist.. now I learn a virtuoso classical guitarist. 

i always love the feeling of the Unitarian Church in Burlington.. .. good mix of welcoming solemnity and fun

 

from there we went out to Ben’s house for a Latke party.. a great tradition !!!!

 

Ben lit the candles and lead the prayers. 

 

now home  just after midnight..

 

quite a starnge and busy year.. lots of good.. and lots of challenges.

lets make 2017 a great year,,,

 

all the best to you and your families
