One of the blessings of living in Eugene is having a wonderful performing arts center. Last night featured Handel’s Messiah with the Eugene Symphony and Symphony Chorus along with 4 soloists. When the chorus sang the Hallelujah chorus it felt like a small foretaste of heaven. December’s Seasonal Delights Series. Wreath is from my front door. At night it lights up.

Although the town I grew up in wasn’t large enough for the ballet school I attended to put on a full Nutcracker ballet, several times we would do portions of the ballet. One of my favorite memories was when we would do the Waltz of the Flowers. Just hearing that piece makes me want to dance again. December’s Seasonal Delights Series.
