So we made it to Open Merc in Twisp this week. Lots of good local musicians playing a nice mixture of original music and famous tunes as well. The Merc has great acoustics and is a wonderful place to hear music. I think they said the next one will be March 23rd. But check with the Merc website to make sure. Don’t rely on my memory! If you are wondering about some of the props in the background, the Merc is also having rehearsals for its upcoming play – The Hobbit. Ken was the last to perform and he had two really fun accompianists – Egon Steinebach on harmonica and Brad Pinkerton playing the mandolin.

Open Merc was re-scheduled and somehow I missed that. Our friends came up from Grant County for a visit and to watch and play music so we came home and had a living room concert instead! Fortunately for our visitors it was one of those picture perfect bluebird sky Methow day so they had plenty of fun and said they didn’t miss the Open Merc at all. They will return to try it another time.
Today was the classic part of the annual Race of the Methow held at the course at Liberty Bell High School. The snow really slowed down the racers and they spent much of their time double poling, even downhill.

An airplane borne virus has infected the people in this house and even the dogs are depressed. Ken and I have moped and rested and sat in front of our computers most of the week in hopes of getting well soon. The dogs are restless and need some exercise and so do we. Cold temperatures early in the week burned my lungs when I tried to go outside. And to make matters worse, skate skiing and ice skating conditions have been as good as a person could want them to be, if she could go outside and enjoy them.
