On Sunday we all went to see Yanni and his young group of “voices” at the Sovereign Center in Reading (PA). Jari & I have been to see Yanni several times & have always enjoyed his concerts. This time Phillipa joined us for her first ever live “pro” concert. She enjoys Yanni very much and just loved the show and the great performers, including Yanni. There was one guy (Nathan Pacheco) who had the most outstanding voice (eat your heart out Pavarotti) and a blonde woman (Leslie Mills) with a lovely mellow voice and an incredible range. The other two singers (Ender Thomas and Chloe) were very good too and Yanni always finds the best musicians to accompany him on the piano or keyboards. To get more information about this “tour” and to see much better pictures and even some video, you can visit the official Yanni website.

Phillipa & Nitro make a great team!
Last weekend Pippa & I went to some ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America) shows with Nitro. It was bitterly cold on Saturday but despite that, Pippa & Nitro worked very well together in Junior handling and won first prize in the Senior Novice class followed by Best Junior Handler. She repeated this feat again on Sunday, when the weather was much warmer (no icy blast from the north).
Phillipa is very proud of herself & received many compliments from the spectators. She is doing a great job with Nitro.
