Bob and I have been quite busy for almost 4 weeks. Getting ready for his gig trip to Portland and LA area which require hundreds of emails, maintaining our cabin/house both inside and outside, taking care of our small garden that we started this year (fingers crossed), making soaps and salves for family and friends who will provide us place to stay on this trip. And finally cleaning up our two old Subaru which I had procrastinated long enough. Reward of cleaning two messy cars, I hurt my back! LOL.
One reminder, there won’t be piano solo live at The Murray Hotel in Livingston this week.
