It's dinner time on a weary dreary Sunday. It rained almost all day here, which is a shame since it was glorious all week. It was a busy week, too: The Cup on Monday evening for dulce de leche ice cream, Alison Krauss and Union Station Tuesday night at Musikfest, P&R budget workshop Wednesday, burgers with friends Thursday, and dinner on the green as a family Friday. Whew.
Musikfest this year opened a new main stage which sits in the shadows, literally, of the stacks of Bethlehem Steel may-she-rest-in-peace. So we watched this amazing bluegrass country concert by one of the most recognized musicians of our time and could hardly take our eyes off the towering blast furnaces, uplight for effect, just behind the stage. Which isn't to say the music wasn't good... it really was. The encore was my favorite: a capella 'Down in the River to Pray' and truly haunting 'Whiskey Lullaby.'
A laid back weekend followed. Work Saturday morning, Jenelle went to a baby shower mid-day while Carter and I did some errands, then a quiet evening at home. Today much the same, but all together for unfruitful shopping and then an evening.
