OUR WEEK WAS A BUSY ONE. TICKETS WERE BOUGHT FOR A TANGLEWOOD CONCERT ON THURSDAY FOR A CONCERT ON TUESDAY AUG. 2. ON SATURDAY WE PLAYED RUMMY WITH KRISTA AND LAURIE AND THEN WE WERE TAKEN OUT TO DINER BY DANILLE AND GENE ON FRIDAY AND THEN LAURE, MIKE AND KRISTA TOOK US TO DINER ALONG WITH BAMBI, JIM AND KIDS ON SATURDAY.
GENE, DANIELLE, MARK, JOAN, KIT, GENE & I HEADED FOR BOSTON AGAIN ON THURSDAY THE 28TH. FOUR OF US WENT ON A WHALE WATCH AND THE FIRST THREE WENT ON A BUS TOUR OF BOSTON. I TOLD GENE NOT LET ME GO ON A BOAT AGAIN. I HAD THE PATCH ON, DRAMINE, AND BONINE AND STILL GOT SICK. THERE WHERE A LOT OF HUMBACK WHALES BUT THE BOAT WAS TO FULL TO WALK FROM ONE SIDE TO OF THE OTHER TO SEE ANYTHING. IT WAS ONLY WHERE WE WERE STANDING. OUR VIEW WAS LIMITED. BESIDES THAT I WAS TRYING TO KEEP FROM GETTING SICK. NEVER AGAIN…
TUESDAY, AUG. 2 WE WENT TO THE TANGLEWOOD MUSIC CENTER FOR AN AMAZING DAY OF MUSIC AND SINGING. WE ARIVED AT 2:00 PM AND WENT TO THE BEAUTIFUL OZAWA HALL TO HEAR BEETHOVAN AND DVORAK. GENE & I WALKED THE BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS AND WAITED FOR THE BIG SHOW AT 8PM. THERE WAS MUSIC BY THE CENTER ORCHESTRA, BOSTON SYMPHONY AND BOSTON POPS ORCHESTRA’S. WHAT AMAZING SOUNDS CAME FROM THE LARGE ORCHESTRA’S? THE BIG SHOW WAS WAGNER’MEISTERSINGER’S OVERTURE, VAUGHAN WILLIAMS WITH 16 SOLO VOICES, TCHAIKOVSKY’S ROMEO & JULIET OVERATURE, WITH MORE OF JOHN WILLIAMS PIECES, INCLUDING E.T., AND THE BIG FINALLY WAS TCHAIKOVSKY’S 1812 OVERTURE INCLUDING THE CANYONS. THE DESERT WAS A SPECTACULAR FIREWORKS SHOW. AS WE WERE LEAVING GENE SAID “HOW CAN WE TOP THIS”. SORRY, THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. MAYBE LOW 80’S WITH A BREEZE THAT GAVE ME CHILLS.
GLEN, HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?
ENJOY HEARING FROM THE BROOKHAVEN GANG. HOPE YOU ARE STAYING COOL.
BY THE WAY THE CAPSLOCK KEY IS STUCK.
