Hi Bill, I was feeling much better, in that crisp New England air, hanging around with good friends. When other people commented on how good we looked (subtext: for people your age? ) Sherry said “Apparently laughter is the best makeup!” More pix coming soon

Hmmmm….. your phones haven’t rung? I swear I’ve been calling. Must be a warp in the space-time continum. Yeah, that’s it. I’m sure it will be fixed soon and my messages will get through. John’s been wondering when you all would be back to back him.

By “bossy” I meant you’re a take-charge kinda woman, mature and responsible – and btw, speaking of “old ladies” I’m only 12 years older than you, young lady!

I hope you meant “bossy” in a nice way.

You know for an “old lady” you’ve taken to this new fangled technology just fine!

Luv, you,

Interesting blog. Arguably, the biggest legacy of Woodstock is its huge impact on the real children of the sixties: Generation Jones (born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X). This USA TODAY op-ed speaks to the relevance today of the sixties counterculture impact on GenJones: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090127/column27_st.art.htm

Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term. In fact, the Associated Press’ annual Trend Report forcast the Rise of Generation Jones as the #1 trend of 2009.

Here’s a page with a good overview of recent media interest in GenJones:

And you, dear Kaye, are at the top of the list of friends I would never have found without this new-fangled technology, and I am so glad for that! Aren’t Scott and Valerie a beautiful couple? We did a lot of crying that weekend, of course we did, but there was a lot of joy too.

Shirley – I loved this!!! I feel like I was there!
What’s better than great friends like these that you’ve been hanging out with and traveling with for all these years? Priceless.
And priceless is reconnecting with your Scott and Valerie. What a heartwarming story.
(and yes, yes, yes – I cried. of COURSE i did!)

Hugs!
Kaye

Valerie and I were thrilled to finally meet you in person! We had a wonderful time and cannot wait until next year! We both love you and are happy we are “family”

Me ?….. An instigator?…… Well …someone has to do it. teehee

It was a great trip. I can’t wait to do it all over again next year. The combination of good friends and good music can’t be beat. And Woodyfest is the best because it is good friends making good music.

Great Blog Shirley, thanks for keeping these good times alive.
