I arrived in town in time for a community Christmas concert featuring three of my favorite artists.
The concert was a lot of fun - a glorious combination of handbells and sing-alongs and performance pieces, plus a charming Chrstmas-themed story about a young star who is granted her wish to visit earth just once before she takes her place in the heavens - she brings joy and a change of heart to a lonely and curmudgeonly old woman.
Clara, as usual, stole the show with a bit part in which she showed self-possession well beyond her size and years. She also performed an extravagant solo bow after one of the numbers.
Afterward, we got together for a celebratory mac-and-cheese dinner with the two families. We played with the cats, and the girls showed off their prowess on the rings -- both of them are very strong, and Clara has picked up Lee's distinctive style of locomotion.

The next day, we made the trek out to the
Mariposa Museum. It was really cool, with a variety of objects on display, including many puppets and musical instruments for folks to play with.

| Charmed, I'm sure! |

| Keep your eye on the tiger! |

| A delightful lunch |
