Dinner , friends and the Indigo Girls

We fixed dinner for our new friends Anne and Jean last night. It was the first time they visited our house. What a delight to be visited by people with curious minds and an appreciation for art. That kind of first visit is never just a peek at each room during the house tour. It is a room to room discussion of my art work, Bill's woodwork, our combined antique pieces, papyrus and copper from our travels in Europe and northern Africa. It is looking at books and being excited to see new things. It is feeding enthusiastic eaters and having lots of interesting, free-flowing conversation. Afterward, we fought the parking frenzy in Blacksburg as hundreds of people arrived for the Indigo Girls concert at the Lyric. Anne and Jean had invited us to join them for this group they loved and we had sort of heard of.  Now we love them, too.  The Indigo Girls and Anne and Jean.
