Last Night's Fun...

... involved playing music (did you already guess?) You may remember from previous posts that Kathie would quite often come after work to play music on Tuesdays when we were living in Augusta. We occasionally drove out to reciprocate, but it was pretty convenient for her to stop there. Well, now we're MUCH closer, only a few minutes away in fact so it's just as convenient for Kath & Dave to host as it is for us :) We had a GREAT time as usual, lots of fun tunes, good conversation and a tasty dinner.
What did we play? Many of our old favorites, including Granny Will Your Dog Bite, Caribou Reel, Morrison's Jig, as well as a couple of sets we put together quite a while ago. Two of the sets we played last night were Old French/ Morpeth Rant/ Eighth of January/ Soldier's Joy/ Gigue de Terrebone/ Pays de Haut and Flop Eared Mule/ ...../ Kitchen Girl/ June Apple/ Sandy Boys. More tunes thrown in than that, but you get the idea.
Conversation wandered here and there, including discussion of trails we hiked in Acadia last year over Patriot's Day weekend at our annual camping & hiking extravaganza. We're planning to go this coming weekend, weather permitting. The Howatt's have purchased a lovely and comfortable new sofa which we all tried out... VERY nice!
Tasty dinner consisted of 'White Pizza' compliments of our favorite chef, David. Mmmm. Whole wheat crust, lots of yummy cheese, garlic, and shrimp. A nice salad on the side, and a refreshing Corona to wash it all down.
I just love being such great friends with my sisters, and I have a different bond with each of them. Kathie and I have shared our love of music for many years, in many ways. It's especially fun to have our husbands involved too, we're quite a little musical group!
