Friends ever since we were 8 years old...Brina and Cindy, also known as the Sarabande flute and piano duo, and we are the kind of old friends who can pick up right where we left off, and we telephone each other long-distance at the exact same second, asking, "Are you ok?"

Love love love my friend Cindy.

My son and I are here in Vermont, and we are having a sunny and relaxing week. More photos to follow. Here's my favorite one so far, of me and Cindy, friends forever.

(Many prayers and thoughts are heading back home to Minneapolis, where there was such a horrible tragedy last night with the I-35 bridge collapse.)
