When we first visited Wellsboro for our Internet run before we were hooked up Kayla and I saw a sign that read, "Wellsboro Town Band, Wednesday, July 15, 7pm". Since that was the exact date of K's birthday, we talked and she said we should try it out for her birthday. Knowing that she got to go to her beloved Red Lobster the weekend before, she was cool with this.
We went out to dinner first, then walked to the...to the...well, if I say exactly where we walked it will sound pretty corny...but we walked to the town square. Yep! A good ole' fashioned, middle-of-town, green space, just off Main Street. It was complete with a fountain in the center and dotted with Victorian-era gas-lit lamp posts! No joke! The whole Main Street area uses gas-lit lamp posts! LOVE IT!!
Once we got there, we joined a bunch of people already gathered to listen to a classic band concert. This band was comprised of teens up to not-so-teens and played classic band-style music, mixed with religious, popular and (hold on to your seats) SHOW TUNES!! You know I was in heaven when the conductor introduced that the next set would be from Music Man! But I have to tell you that the best moment came when just as twilight was settling around us, a soft breeze was blowing through the trees and mixed with the sounds of neighbors softly chatting and children laughing the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow starts. I just sighed, leaned back against my tree, closed my eyes and had myself a happy moment!
Aaahhh....the simple life for me!
