I'm glad I started the trend of dedicating songs to Kendall. It would have been a pity to be a shameless imitator!

I feel like we didn't have enough time for socializing this year, what with running after our son much of the time, but we enjoyed what we had very much. It was particularly nice to Carol Rohl, one of the loveliest people I know, make it down with Gordon, and to hear her play harp with ever increasing confidence. We had a great time at the Songs for the Shower workshop, the Beggars Tramps and Bums workshop, and the small but sweet tune swap. And the Sandy Paton memorial was an hour of storytelling and reminiscing that I will treasure.

We didn't catch too much of the concerts - we had to get someone to bed - but what we heard was wonderful indeed.

I saw any number of good friends that I didn't even get to say hi to, but you know who you are, and I love you anyway!
