Went to the big Ann Arbor to see the Loreena McKennitt concert downtown at the Michigan Theater. It's one of those experiences I have been looking forward to since we discovered Loreena about 10 years ago while on vacation in Canada, which is her home. BF and I really enjoy her Celtic-World music, so of course, when she was booked at the Michigan, we were on the fast track to get our tickets, thanks to our FDIL.

I enjoyed the concert, light show, and the whole ambiance of the Michigan Theater. However, as NB pointed out, much of the music sounded the same. If I hadn't known the words to the songs, I might not have understood a thing, but it didn't matter to me since I was there for whatever came along. The house was crowded with her fans, and I don't think any of the above items mattered. Ms. McKennitt has been away from the touring and recording scene for about ten years since the death of her fiance in a boating accident. http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/listenwatch/0,,466244,00.html

We also enjoyed eating at an Indian Restaurant, poking through Dawn Treader Book Store, watching an old version of The Adventures of Robin Hood, and shopping in the mall. But, the most fun was just hanging out with AS,NB, and TD. A good time was had by all.:)

Garden and weather log: Sunny and in the upper 60s. Grass needs mowing. Everything looks unkept since we have been gone. I hate to look at the front garden. The blossoms are coming out on the apple blossoms I brought into the house a week ago.
