Museum fun

Last week our Lowell Museum, headed by our daughter, (she's the blonde) held their annual major fund raiser.  It's an evening of friends and food from local restaurants, drinks from local breweries and let me tell you, if you go home hungry or walking the line, it's your own fault.

We've been going each year with Friends Harry and Marge.  It's tradition.

Someone, who will not be named, (not me!) needed two plates for one of her trips to the food.

 We had a beautiful summer evening in the museum's garden.  People floated all over the museum, the garden, filling plates and glasses, visiting and laughing.

 The Easy Idle String Band plays and they are the perfect band for this.  They don't play so loud you can't talk to the person next to you.  They are there for our enjoyment, for  background music and to drown out the traffic on the other side of that hedge.  They are excellent.

 I loved this washtub bass. It was the only instrument the bass player brought.

And ta da!  Here's my map of Lowell quilt.  Our daughter hung it for the evening above the original map drawing.  It was a treat to see it hanging somewhere other than our house. 

This event is always so much fun and the evening goes much too fast...although if it lasted any longer there are a people who would have to walk home.  Just sayin'
