October and November Events

 Some Happy October/November Events

I finally finished the Frida Kahlo puzzle after about three months. Actually, Rachel Taratoot Ciraldo helped me on the last few pieces after I had given up. These pieces were all the same shape with slight variation but still with a ball on each end. They went in in even rows, turning the pieces vertical, then horizontal, repeat.


Getting to rehearse and sing John Rutter compositions and arrangements with
The Meistersingers was a special treat.

Excellent music at the USM Fall 2024 String Chamber Honors Recital at University Baptist. We host this event in Spring and Fall and I'd bet there isn't better chamber music anywhere. This quartet composed of Juan Lincango, Joao Gonzaga DaSilva, Ronnie Ortiz, and Brian Lorett won, but all four groups were winners by advancing to this night.


There was even a little quilting--a cat collage for a friend to give as a wedding gift and a collage of precious Baby Noa. I finished out November working on some quilts for our Pine Belt Quilters to give to children in December.
