The week ended beautifully for Maria and me, we went to hear the Bluegrass Band Blue Stone Gap at Brown’s Brewery on the Walloomsic River in Hoosick Falls, N.Y. The band, the Big Stone Gap, is wonderful,  I want to see them whenever and wherever they play.

I could listen to them for hours. And did.

Listening to a Bluegrass band that loose and talented and authentic is a sweet way to start the weekend.

We went there straight from the Mansion Bingo game, I had the feeling the residents were a bit down tonight, I’m not sure why.   Maybe it’s the cold weather and looming storm.

Tomorrow, we’re going to Jean’s Place to record part two of the Mary and Robin show, “Men Do Stupid Things.”

The video last week went viral. Then we have some food shopping to do for Maria’s Snail Party. And some more work to do on our fish tank, under a major restoration. We need to get out early to beat the snow.

I am resting, as prescribed. Tomorrow afternoon a major snowstorm is bearing down us, several inches in daylight, seven or eight at night.

I’ve got to work on my fig sauce, mascarpone cheese, prosciutto, pizza.

I’ll be making and serving finger food at the Snail Party if I’m up to it, which I’m sure I will be.  My cough is stubborn, it lingers but weakens. Patience and rest.
