HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Happy New Year everybody! Here we are about to leave for our New Year's Eve celebration at the grand reopening of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center as guest of Alan and Cathy Umstead. The symphony center sustained 42 million dollars worth of damage by the 1000 year flood that hit TN this summer, but looked beautiful after the renovation! Our favorite thing of the evening was hearing Itzhak Perlman, a world famous violinist for which the score of "Shindler's List" was written. He was amazingly wonderful and has performed for the Queen and at the Inauguration of President Obama. And we got to hear him!! At the conclusion of the evening we were served champaign and desert to ring in the new year.
Cathy, Lili and me toasting the new year! Happy 2011!!

Ray, Alan Umstead, Lili's husband and son!






Having camera troubles because I couldn't see the settings...(left my glasses at home) It's hard to believe how rainy and windy it was, but doesn't show up in the pic.
