The heavy
snow/ice is slowly falling off my one roof, which doesn’t
have much of an angle…if it hit someone, it would probably
do a lot of damage. Let’s hope we have no more rain and
ice this winter. Be very careful of falling snow and ice.
Forty-four
people enjoyed a wonderful musical evening at the Inn at Crystal
Lake last Thursday. The Night at the Opera featured the beautiful
“Sound of Music,” by Rodgers and Hammerstein. It was
first performed in 1959 and depicts the story of the Von Trapp
family on the eve of World War I in Salzburg, Austria, and how
they were able to escape eventually to Vermont. Tim Ostendorf
and Mary Edes did a marvelous job singing “The Hills Are
Alive,” “Edelweiss,” “Climb Every Mountain,”
“My Favorite Things,” and one not in the movie version,
“How Can Love Survive.”
Ellen Schwindt
accompanied them beautifully on the piano and the audience was
even invited to sing along on a few songs. What fun! Thanks to
Annie, Bobby, and the entire kitchen crew for a great menu. I
had the Potato Leek Soup, the mixed greens salad, the Salzburg
Schnitzel, and German Chocolate Cake, all simply delicious. Thanks
to Tim for all the organizational skills ahead of time, so that
he just hits the clicker and voila the songs are right there.
Awesome job, Tim. Thanks to Aimee Robertson and Michael Douglas
for their serving skills for so many people. The next Night at
the Opera will be held on Thursday, February 16th, featuring
Sullivan’s “The Mikado,” a masterpiece from the
world of operetta, with lots of witty lyrics to keep you alert.
These nights are so much fun and entertaining, with a delicious
meal to enjoy. Try one!
Please make
sure to sign the petitions at the Eaton Village Store for the
service organizations for the warrant articles at Town Meeting.
They need at least 10 signatures of Eaton residents. While you
are in the Store, do yourself a favor and indulge in a super
breakfast or lunch, cooked to perfection by Willie. Last week
I had delicious meatloaf, with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas.
Sunday I had Eggs Benedict, clearly my favorite breakfast. Try
the quiche, the homemade soups - Pea Soup early in the week,
and Fish Chowder later on in the week. The Patty Melts are delightful
and there are always specials for the day for both breakfast
and lunch.
Aren’t
we lucky to have EVS, the Inn at Crystal Lake and Palmer House
Pub, and the Snowville Inn, all serving fantastic food and good
cheer? Be sure to try out all these eating establishments right
here in Eaton. You will be delighted that you did.
