A favorite weekend evening outing here is a night at both The Meetinghouse Restaurant in Bedford Village for cocktails plus dinner and then a movie right smack next door at The Bedford Playhouse Cinema.

Well, I mixed it up a bit this weekend and on Sunday I went to Brunch at The Meetinghouse Restaurant (Brunch 11-3) and then to a matinee next door at the Bedford Playhouse.

After the movie -“State of Play” (or was it “State of Confusion”?), I then did some browsing at one of my favorite shops - “Small Joys” where Bedford buys those perfect for the season, the day, the moment and the hour Caspari paper cocktail napkins, plus the perfect Shower, Wedding and then Baby Gift (I am old fashioned) and more.

Then onto The Bedford Presbyterian Church for “The Master Singers of Westchester” in their annual performance. Vivaldi’s Magnificat, Haydn’s Missa Brevis in F, a Magnificat from Zelenka - a Czech Baroque composer and contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach actually told his son, Wilhelm, to copy one of his works. The afternoon ended with six of Bach’s cantatas. Master Singers of Westchester: “Ordinary People Making Extraordinary Music”

I then topped that off by fulfilling my Sunday Obligation at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church right on the Village Green. Quite joyously I may add!
