SHEILAS BOSTON TEA PARTY

8/22/2011

2 Comments

 
People told me Boston is a great city. People were right! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to that historic city and all the surrounding towns. Besides boasting a beautiful harbor, great architecture, and wonderful history, Boston can brag of some wonderful eateries. Every meal we ate was a treat, and the waiter we had at Red Bones was probably the best waiter I've ever had in my life. He gave us both great service and great conversation, and by the time we left we were all buddies. The dance scene is great. I had a wonderful time dancing my feet off (and hopefully a few of the calories I consumed). And all you writers, you must add visiting Concord to your bucket list. The town is charming. (I wanted every house I saw!) It's a special treat to tour Louisa May Alcott's house and when you see Walden's Pond you wind up asking, "Where's the pond?" because that little pond you envisioned looks more like a lake. It's huge! We almost brought back a white pebble from the pond as a memento, but when my son went to pick it up for me it turned out to be something slimy (we suspect from the nose of the grizzled kayaker loading his kayak on his boat). So, no pebbles from the pond for little Sheila. Instead, all I brought back home with me were extra pounds. Guess I should have gone dancing more than once!
And how about you? What's the best thing you've done this summer?

Each year, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra hosts Concerts on the Square. It lasts for 6 weeks from the last Wednesday in June to the first Wednesday in August.

The orchestra performs on the Capitol steps and invites the public to free concerts. You are encouraged to bring food, wine, blankets and sit under the trees on the Capitol lawn to enjoy the music.

Some people set up tables with flowers, candles, platters of catered food, and almost a full bar. Some people bring a blanket, a bottle of wine, some bread, cheese and fresh fruit. Some people bring an old ratty blanket and a bag of fast food.

We plan our dinners according to the theme of the orchestra. If it is music from the movies, then we plan a menu inspired by our favorite films. Music by Spanish composers? Then we have Sangria, taco dip and taquitos. Patriotic music gets the all American treatment with watermelon, fried chicken, Mike's lemonade and chocolate cake. It is almost as much fun to plan the menu as it is to attend the concert.

We have a group of girls that rotate through depending on how busy they are. We always sit in the same spot and anyone is welcome. We listen to amazing music and page our way through books and entertainment magazines.

About the middle of March, every year I begin my countdown to Concerts on the Square.
