A wonderful Saturday evening in downtown Benton Harbor




















Pictures: Dave and Mike Gates; the stage- Niki Harris; Dave tired of pictures with Meg in the back; Dave and Dave; Beth and Dave; Dave and Katie.

What a wonderful night. I mean it! Sunny with a breeze and clear blue sky! Dave started "getting prettied up" around 2 pm. He took a nap while I got ready. Then about 6:30 we went to the Gene Harris Coming Home Coming Together concert in downtown Benton Harbor. Our good friends Beth (Harris) and Mike welcomed us. We sat with the other Maki's (Phil and Loni), Katie too, their neighbors and the Kirshenbaums. Saw Van, Jeannie, Jill and Meg Simpson there. Also Mike Gates and Jay Handy. Can't forget Jill Bond! Dave got to spend a few minutes with his friend Tim Fitzgerald who played with Nikki Harris tonight. We did take the wheelchair for Dave, but he did so well. We ended up in the shade for most of the time since the sun was a little hot. We stayed until almost 9...... about 2 hours. Quite an outing for us both. I'm so happy Dave got to enjoy some live music. Niki was amazing. FYI she has a new single/album out.

  3. Most of the pictures were right before we left, so he was feeling a litte tired. I think he looks great too! My boy with his sense of humor back.
