We’re watching the Olympics! We had to get a 1 month subscription to Peacock to watch them and it’s been worth! We will get an extra advantage as we can now watch the Super Bowl with our subscription.

The opening ceremony was fantastic!
It looks like there are lots of people
USA team entering

We’re excited to watch!!!

Herman’s Hermits

How many of you know what I’m talking about when I say Herman’s Hermits?

I asked our each of our 5 kids and only one of them knew. That’s because he remembered “Henry the Eighth”. One of their popular songs.

They were a popular English rock band formed in 1963. They were my favorite group when I was in high school! I never thought I’d get to see them live on stage! But, I did!

Herman’s Hermits, starring Peter Noone performed at The Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Indiana and we got tickets for the December performance. Peter Noone of the original group is still performing with the group. You can imagine my excitement at seeing him.

This was the week before Christmas 2025
Wonderful show. I loved every second!
Peter Noone even came off stage and walked down the aisles
We had great time

They performed some of their popular hits. Like “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Beautiful Daughter” and “A Kind of Hush”. Some Christmas songs were sung. It was such a great evening. ~Sher

We’re spending the night at home watching the celebrations from around the world. We each have a glass of wine and are warm and cozy.

Be safe!!! Some dangerous weather is happening.

Irvington is an historic neighborhood on the near eastside of Indianapolis. As part of it’s famed annual Halloween Festival, Our Lady of Lourdes Church was the site of a “Spooky Organ Concert” last night.

The free concert began at 6:00 PM, with the church sanctuary filled to capacity. Bach’s Fugue in G Minor opened the program played, of course, on the church organ. Very talented local musicians performed a variety of numbers including movie scores, Broadway hits and other spooky themes.  We really enjoyed this delightful musical celebration of the Halloween season.
