It was indeed a very lovely evening.   I arrived with a homegrown tomato salad and left with a marvelous songbook, a book on weaving techniques, and a third on a childhood hero, along with bags of apples for pie, pectin, and cider. I borrowed a pen from Ranger 1 so I could make notes regarding one after another of John's songs I must learn. Happy bunny, me!

With all the house cats roaming around it was a surprise to see a new feline insist on gaining admittance to the gathering. He appeared to be a polite and charming fellow, but was firmly ushered back outside, where he lingered for quite a while.

What a great crowd for laughter and warm hugs! Thank you one and all, and Sinsull in particular for never-failing hospitality.
