I’m having a flighty day and have had a hard time remembering the things I wanted to consider for the three beautiful things from the last week. I remember thinking about them as they happened and thinking, wow, that would be great to include. But right now, I’ve got nothing…

Let’s see…

They must be here somewhere…

Okay, here’s one that will work:

1. We wanted to see Pink Martini play at George Washington University tonight but on Sunday the show was listed as sold out. Tuesday afternoon however offered up great seats! I’ve enjoyed both of their cds and it was excellent to finally see them in person. They’re wonderful musicians — particularly the pianist, the brass section, and the drummer on the traditional kit. Their singer is amazing. And they’re finishing work on a third cd!

That wasn’t on the original list though…

Oh, okay, here are two of the things I’d thought of earlier:

2. My cousin’s new baby arrived precisely when predicted by the doctors — last Sunday. Thomas Richard is blessed with very impressive timing, particularly because his day of birth is also his parents’ first anniversary. I’m betting Caroline and David won’t forget the date anytime soon, though. (And I offer congratulations to the whole family!)

3. The fall harvest season is upon us and last week’s market was bustling. I came home with a sampler of the first apples of the season (Jenny also sent a few of her harvest home from Utah with us). And I managed to score one of the last two pints of raspberries. I love that raspberries have two totally distinct seasons.
