warm, intimate birthday party in Boston

# # #

Today we went to a really nice birthday party (family celebration) with my sister's friends, their kids, grandparents, my sister, and her kids. I discovered my younger niece is a child prodigy piano player and caught a few seconds on video. We watched a privately performed marionette (puppet) show that was knock-your-socks-off fantastic -- unbelievable in every respect from the art of the puppets and stage to the story line to the talent of the puppeteers. They had a pirate to help open the presents (which was silly and did not add much to the party). The lunch conversation was stimulating and I enjoyed meeting everyone. Now I must set off to catch my flight home.
