I was driven to the Felici Trio concert last night which was something I could not have done myself. No car. The concert series is being held at the High School this year as the regular Community College hall is under reconstruction. They did Bach's Brandenberg Concerto, nine people on stage, almost an orchestral sound. Then two marvelous guitar solos by Celino Romero, then Boccherini's Fandango played with guitar, two violins, viola and cello, and finally a Brahms quintet in F Minor, beautifully performed, but rather sad. Lots of people I knew. Lots of widows and a few widowers.
It was good to see the Thursday Cast Off folks. That was my regular day while Robin was at Rotary, and I knew them all.
Trevor made it to St. George and texted to that effect. Had a great talk with Andrew Mack. He is interviewing students for jobs in his department. Long talk with Wendy too. And I hear often from Brianne. Thank you all for taking such good care of me.
Japan Story 5
My rabbit had yellow feet. His name, I think, was "Bun". My friend's older brother had built him a beautiful cage, outside by the side of the house, which was spacious and gave him lots of room to hop around. It was raised on a stand so you could easily open the cage door to feed or pet him. We put lots of straw in to make him comfortable. He was fed carrots and lettuce.
I do not know how it happened, but one day my rabbit escaped! I was outside and saw him hopping down the hill to the stream that ran past the property. I chased him down, but to my horror he went into the water! He struggled against the current, and I ....SCREAMED...and SCREAMED! My mother came running down the hill, certain that her daughter was being dismembered. When she saw the situation she waded into the stream, shoes and all, and rescued my poor rabbit. I considered her a heroine after that.
Shortly after my birthday party my rabbit fell ill and died. It may have been from over petting at the birthday party as he was very popular with the children. But that was the last time my parents saw fit to give me any pet other than a cat.
