Saturday was Folk Night at Greyhaven again. Mommakath's famous chile was a big hit, as always; Burke couldn't get the sound system working until 8:30, as always; and there was a eclectic crowd, as always. Spencer opened with "Santa Monica Pier", that great Christine Lavin song popularized by our own Buddy Mondlock (whose signed poster now graces the wall at Greyhaven), with Joseph singing harmony. Mother and I left after the opening number - 7:00 a.m. comes so early - but when we left there were easily 60 people at the cabin and more streaming in. We counted a dozen cars parked along the highway, and there were an equal number on the dirt road, the Vriens, etc. In the end it was a little ungovernable.
Prior to Folk Night we drove to Orem for the wedding reception of Diana Bodily, whose father, Sam, is the founder of the Bodily Movement. A wonderful visit.
The day started by taking Ellie to the farmers' market, then to the airport. When mother stopped crying we were able to drive to Orem... We will miss the QE2 but it was great to have her here.
And today we celebrate our 33rd anniversary - nearly a third of a century! No wonder we going on a cruise this fall. It's what people our age do!
Happy anniversary to all!
