Summer Days: a Visit

Our dear friends the Bankesters came for a week-long visit.  We had a string of lovely days together.  They stayed at Mama and Dad's, but the kids and I would walk over every morning after breakfast and Caleb would come after work.  Talking and laughing, good food and good music.

 

Greta found a special friend to read stories to her!

These two were particularly glad to see each other :)

The Bankesters' music is really amazing.  Bluegrass, beautiful harmonies, talented pickin' and fiddlin'.  Oh, it is such a pleasure to listen to!  (You can check out their new cd HERE.) One evening we drove to the city to hear them play a concert at Nechville Banjos.  A great evening.

On Thursday evening they did a concert for us here in town.

(Mama had the idea to use records on the wall behind the stage--delightful!)

All too soon it was time for them to pack up the vehicles again and drive back home.  Until next time, friends!
