On Saturday, after working in the garden and correcting papers, we went to Miracles of the Spirit, an art exhibit in Whitewater on Wisconsin visionary/outsider art. There were a few nice pieces by Mona Webb, the mother of a friend (Cookie Martin-Smith) we knew from our days back in Colorado - you can see one of her paintings in the background of this picture (the purple portrait).
On Friday night, we went to hear Carrie sing in a choral group she is in - the Isthmus Vocal Ensemble. Wonderful music, especially the piece by a Finnish composer E. Rautavaara that used a surrealistic style to set the poem of Federico Garcia Lorca - a 20th century poet who was executed in the Spanish Civil War. Afterwards we (Anne, Ack, Carrie, Ellen, and the two Annes) went to Michael's for custard.
We have visitors this weekend - Jamie and Greg, who are in town for a wedding. Jamie used to work with Anne and was also part of the group of students who worked on Wisconsin Weather Stories, back before she moved to Brooklyn.
