As promised my new recording was complete for the Valentine's concert in Sugarcreek, Ohio. It really was hot off the press as the first time I heard it was just a few minutes before my concert. The concert was great and so glad the snow held off until it was over. Nina and I stayed for an extra day to celebrate Valentine's Day just hanging out at the hotel. We had dinner with my parents and Nina's mom and then they headed back to Columbus and we had a quiet evening listening to a college student play the viola and piano and spent time in the hot tub at the hotel. It was amazing. Haven't relaxed like that for a long time....On Monday we visited some Amish stores and then began to head back to Columbus at about 3 in the afternoon. Well the snow had begun and instead of it taking us 2 hours to get home it took 5! We traveled at around 25 - 35 mph so it was a slow ride but we took country roads home....it was actually very beautiful! The pictures above tell the story. We're back to work now but just for a little while as we will be going to Fla. to see Nina's granddaughter for her 9th birthday on the 24th! Looking forward to getting out of the cold for awhile!
