Stelaria I just learned is the genus of the Chickweed family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lucy, Victor and their friends &nbsp;Cynthia , Loretta, Manet, Dom and,.. (dang.. cant remember her name) . all came to eat at our house before the concert . We had Diane&#8217;s &nbsp;wonderful eggplant fake lasagna.. I say &#8216;fake&#8217; because the eggplant plays the role of the noodles. it was so good !.. We also had eggplant capanade.. (which was my dad&#8217;s favorite). I&#8217;m kinda allergic to eggplant.. makes my mouth bleed.. but these were so tasty it was well worth it.. besides.. the blood makes it somehow tastier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Great old friends, new friends and conversation .. got almost 3\/4 the way through dinner until &#8216;he who must not eb named&#8217; name came up &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1071.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1074.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1076.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1078.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>freon there a short drive to the Richmond Free Lbrary for the concert<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1084.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the program was Beethoven and Dvorak (one of my favorites)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1094-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>letitia warms us up<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1085.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1089.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>it was a great performance.. a well earned standing ovaion at the end&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_1093.jpeg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Letitia&#8217;s viulin is from 1840. and it&#8217;s on loan from the VT Violin Shop..&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>it&#8217;s worth ..
