Some friends are back in town. They lived here for three years while he was on job assignment and then they moved back to the U.S. When that happens, I always figure that we will only ever see each other again when I visit them. Lo and behold, they came back to visit us first! It's of course a true testament to what a wonderful place Sweden is.
There was a dinner party in their honor this evening and I was so very happy to be invited. It was a good time...great food, interesting company and lively conversation. To top it all off, the host plays the guitar and was gracious enough to lead a sing-along. There were enough songs that enough of us knew to make that possible. My greatest surprise came when the woman sitting to my right began singing a song from one of my all time favorite Broadway musicals,
A Little Night Music. A rare event indeed. I hasten to add that it was not "Send in the Clowns," the most well-known song from that musical. It turns out that she, like me, knows the entire score and we had a grand old time in our little corner of the table.
Not the first, nor the last, time that singing has made me happy.
