There continues to be a lot to like about Lowell

Last night we went to a free concert at the backyard of Lowell's Tsongas Arena. It was wonderful! We saw Melvern Taylor and his Fabulous Meltones. They were fabulous, as billed. Ukelele, upright bass, and songs like "Love Song for Losers" -- what's not to love?



We met up with lots of our favorite local folks and even ran into a few old friends. There were kids roaming about in herds, tearing across the lawn at frightening speeds and erratic trajectories. We spotted a little girl that Lucy had played with at an event last December, and the two were quickly re-acquainted with each other. They proceeded to rush the stage and dance up front (sorry, I didn't get pictures, but wish I had!), and they ran around like crazy people for the next hour. Lucy's still asleep. It's nearly 9 am. Now that's a good time (and a nice sleep in for us, too!).



This weekend promises more fun, with the Southeast Asian Water Festival here in Lowell. We can't wait to head over and watch the races and eat all kinds of deliciousness!
