Joe made friends with some musicians a couple of weeks ago at the Petersburg Farmers Market. This week they were playing a benefit for wounded warriors, so we stopped by to listen to some good old music. Joe rushed the stage at the first chord, then after a few songs worked the crowd.

Music and friendly people can’t be beat.

Thanks to the Virginia Folk Music Association for putting on a great show!

Happy birthday Joe! Cupcakes at school, cupcakes at home. Cards from his terrific grandparents, including a Grandpa Mike original story about racing. Spot-on, as his big present was a fire-engine red Schwinn.
Chromed fenders, handlebar tassels, bell. GO JOE!

Thanks to everyone for the fine birthday wishes and surprises – Joe loves you all and so do we.
