A few weeks back we read "Li'l Orphan Annie" out loud. You know, the one about the goblins getting you if you don't watch out?
Around here there are no goblins, but there's at least one troll, as you probably know. So watch out.
Yesterday we experienced a little organ playing with a trip to Annie's Parlor in Dinkytown afterward. It was just my husband, and Ed, and I.
St. Mark's Cathedral in Minneapolis just refurbished/rebuilt their organ. It is playing in the sanctuary with clear warmth and new technology, apparently a huge improvement on the old instrument.
It was open console yesterday, and we (of course) put it on our calendar to see the demonstration and hope for a chance to touch the thing.
Ed got his chance. He played Bach, and we loved it.
He's building quite a resume of wonderful organs he's been able to play! I'm extremely happy for him.
Thanks again to Michael Barone (Pipedreams) for assuming the role of registrant extraordinaire! (He helped Ed with the stops, voicing the organ). It's nice having help from the world's foremost organ aficionado.
My wonderful husband turns half a century this week. We celebrated with friends at church yesterday. His cake from Costco said "over the hill." He's not. But it's sort of fun to tease. Someone guessed he was in his early 30's a week or so ago, so he's very well preserved. (It must be something about being married to me, right? Trolls have their purpose!)
Monsters seem to be everywhere right now---this season of Reformation Day (ha). The freak storm "Sandy" rages inland. Thankful for God's sovereign will, and our trust in Him. May we choose righteousness this week.
This week holds many events. Even more than usual around Corgi Hollows. May God bless you and keep you, and sustain us all.
