Friday night Chris & I headed to the Summerside Roots & Folk Festival. Of course the main reason for going was to see Matt Andersen play :) ... and he didn't disappoint. It was just Matt & his guitars, and it was phenomenal, as usual. We also had the pleasure of seeing Catherine MacLellan play, who opened for Matt. She's a very talented song-writer. Prior to the concert, I had done a bit of research on her and had read someone describe her music as 'hauntingly beautiful', and that was adept at describing her performance. She sang a song about her late father that had me a blubbering fool before the first bar was over...but I guess music really is all about emoting isn't it? All in all, a fantastic event, and I can only hope that Summerside makes this Folk fest a recurring yearly event (and I do hope that Matt is part of it, yearly, of course).
Saturday I headed out with Dina, Bobbi & April to April's family cottage. We shared many good laughs, too much good food, and I had some good wine. We sat outside on the deck until it got too cold...enjoying the peace, solitude and tranquility of the outdoors (with the minor exception of a few "September" bugs that had Bobbi & I both a little petrified). After that we snuggled under our blankets while watching the first season of Sex & the City.
Sunday was a complete write-off on account of the wine and the little sleep I got on Saturday night. I even ducked out of a family supper at Chris' mom's (I really wasn't feeling up to it), so vegged/napped on the couch all evening long, watched BB and then officially went to bed for the night.
This week, I'm back to working nights ---so, you guessed it - a lackluster week of posting. I'll do my best to come up with something witty or thought-provoking. Have a good week.
