Wonderful Weekend

Just spent a very enjoyable weekend listening to beautiful music, taking walks in the sunshine with Sophie and even playing 9 holes of golf. This is the week of the Chintimini Music Festival when kids that have grown up in Corvallis and are now professional musicians come back and play a week of chamber music. The first concert was Friday and they played the first movement of a quartet commissioned by the Festival. The composer and his wife, Tomas and Jana Svoboda, stayed with me. They are delightful people and the piece that he composed was beautiful and very moving.

Saturday it rained so I stayed quiet all day and watched the golf on TV(since I had done a little too much on Friday.) Today I played 9 holes of golf with a couple that Red and I used to play with on most Sundays. We had a great time and decided we need to start the Sunday tradition again. I scored a 51 so I am feeling very good about my game even if I am pretty tired by the end of 9 holes.

Tomorrow I go to Portland for blood tests to make sure that all is back to normal. Two weeks ago I was anemic and some of my electrolytes were still out of whack. So we shall see if there is anything that needs to be done to help me get back to normal. Also I get to spend some Granny time. I have really missed seeing the little ones and I am sure that they have grown so much in a month!
