Local tradition

Our days continue, hobbling along, picking up groceries, reading, TV, and cross-stitching.  Life is good.

On our walk this morning, we came to two persons changing the cultural signs -- as it is February.  On the new poster, it indicated that there would be 'Singing to the Stars' this evening in the Municipal square, at 6 pm.  Eager to be there, we set out at 5:30, I am slow.  But not that slow, as we arrived about 5:45.  No one.  6 pm no one.  There was a bit of activity at the town office about 6:15 so we made our way over there.  Indeed, about 6:25, there came a parade of kids, 4 to 10 yr. it seemed, along with a leader, a flautist, an accordion player and a violinist and followed by dozens of parents.

They chanted for the President, who did finally come out of the building and listened to them sing three songs.  The kids were enthusiastic and quite musical.  It was delightful to be there.
