Pikake & Pearls: Helen & Randy’s Website

Hey, all you friends of ours out there!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Helen and I have been busy with orchestra gigs playing duo gigs. (She has a new group called the Luna Duo with bridesmaid Lee-Wen). Helen and I performed as a duo last Friday at a faculty recital for the Bradford School of Music in North Andover, MA.

And we went to the circus a few days ago because Tim is in the Big Apple Circus!

I wanted to post a really cute picture that Randy’s mom took and was excited to send to us for the romantic holiday.  The picture is special because it was so spontaneous.  It was right after we were browsing the arts and crafts fair at Blaisdell Center and stepped out of the building to head towards the car.  We walked through the lawn and Auntie Terrina started laughing and cooing excitedly while gazing at the ground.  What was she looking at?  We followed her gaze and found an abundant amount of tree pods, yes, hollow shells, that were perfectly heart-shaped!  We even found some that came in pairs!  How cute is that?

We collected a whole bunch of them because they were so unique and because we wanted to use them in the wedding somehow, but it didn’t turn out.  So we just wanted to send this along and hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day with their loved ones.  Sorry it’s late!
