We had a nice holiday week. We had a couple of dinners with friends. We took Mom to a concert at Charlestown. We heard a group called “The Suspicious Cheese Lords”. They are an acapella group of men that sing Christmas and seasonal oldies. How old? It varies but you won’t go wrong if you think 16th century. Songs were sung in their original language. The program provided English translations. Songs covered the gamut. The oldest tune dates back to pre-Christian times. A couple of more recent tunes were used for sing-alongs.

Charlestown is Erickson’s original community. It was built around a Catholic seminary. When the church sold the property to Erickson, they restored the chapel to it’s original condition. They made a first-class job of it, as you can see here. As you might imagine, the acoustics was perfect for Christian music from the 1500s.

Poor Mom has had a lot of doctor appointments recently, including four between last and next Friday. Today we visited her audiologist. Since the audiologist is near us in Columbia, we went to a couple of stores and got a few things Mom needs.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
