Pipes and Parmesan

.....bagpipes that is!! We spent Saturday afternoon at the Kimmel Center for a concert of the Regimental Band of Her Majesty's Coldstream Guards and the Pipes, Drums and Highland Dancers of the Royal Scots Dragoons. This was another of our gifts to Mom and Dad for Christmas. The Kimmel Center also programs free events on the great plaza inside in conjunction with ticketed events so at 1:30pm the Pipes and Drums of the Atlantic Watch performed. Such a cool way to spend the afternoon. Our tickets were 2nd balcony directly over/behind the stage---a wonderful location for this performance.
Then we came home and after a brief stop at the house, we walked uptown to our favorite Italian restuarant, Villa Barone. Dad had a number of gift certificates for there so we decided to use some of them!!! And now there's great leftovers in the fridge!
The tapestry is almost done and I'm loving the effect. Took today off from the project after working on it every night. And I got fabric to start making my charms and we ordered paper for the page swap. Life is good----
Enjoy,
Janet
