Here are a few recent photos, including some from a very entertaining but sweltering off-island theater excursion with the seniors.
First is my wonderful chair pilates teacher, Britt, who is also a singer. Her students showed up in force at the retirement community as we had never had the opportunity before to see her perform. She was great. I’m noticing her strong fingers on the guitar in this photo. Finger strength is one of the things we all work on in her class.
For some reason our community has acquired a large memento from the town’s 250th anniversary, A giant replica of one of Paul Revere’s lanterns (“one if by land, two if by sea”), which now resides in the town’s museum.
Next, there’s an old gas pump that speaks for itself.
From the heat wave: days almost too hot to walk down to the water. And some advice from a snail.
At Bill Hanney’s historic Theatre-by-the-Sea we saw the Broadway musical Waitress, a polished and fun performance. In its long history of destruction and rebirth, Theatre-by-the-Sea has featured performers like Judy Holliday, Tallulah Bankhead, Mae West, Groucho Marx, and Marlon Brando. It’s in a lovely garden setting and also has a restaurant.
I went on the seniors’ theater trip to hear this song. Here it is sung by the show’s originator, Sara Bareilles, when she performed it on Broadway.
