Finally Got to See Helen (of Scotland)

Below freezing this morning

so the pups had to wear their red coats.

 Miss Berlin seems to be back to herself

and I hope she stays that way.

 After chores I took a shower and drove out to Glen Darrach Farm

to pick up our friend Helen.  She's here helping her sister, who just

had knee surgery and we finally got together.

We made a couple quick stops on the way home

and had a very simple lunch after I got  a 

nice fire going.

While we were eating, listened to Chris Wilson's

latest CD.  I picked one up for Helen when we

went to his concert at the Lyric Theatre.

When she was here the last time, we went to 

The Barn for one of the concerts and she loved his music.

 Another new blossom this morning.

 It was peeking through the back of the chair.

 Helen knows how to play the guitar, and last year she figured out

how to play my baritone ukulele.  Seeing that I have two, it's fun to

mess around....so we had Gary join us on sticks and we sang

a little this afternoon.  We had never done this together and

it was a lot of fun.  I sent her home with a uke and some music

so she can practice.  I'm sure we will play again....by then she

will be hooked and getting her own uke when she goes back to Scotland.

 The dogs rode with us when I took her back to Andrea's.

 They love riding in the car.

 Tonight we had leftover antipasto and some

sweet and sour meatballs Jen sent up.  Maybe

we can start having regular meals again.

Started watching a new Netflix series

and that's going to be it for the duration.

Wishing all our friends good health and happiness in 2020.

Night all.
