Tanglewood Awaits, in the Summer Tradition

It’s another July and to me that signals one of the most important times of the year:  Tanglewood Time!

There is simply nothing I can think of that’s more relaxing, predictable, and satisfying than pulling your lawn chairs, table, delicious picnic, and vino and setting up a camp near one of the big trees in front of the venerable Tanglewood stage.

It’s been the same for so many years, I think I started going to Tangle back before 2001. Wow.  It’s a legacy of decades with different characters playing supporting roles but a consistent theme.  The music is why we go and the peaceful setting of Tanglewood is simply the perfect way to spend a Sunday.   I’m happy that the weather forecast isn’t steamy, but just in case we do have ample shade with the famous blue Sportbrella.
