LAKEVILLE — The participants couldn’t remember precisely, but the consensus was the last Memorial Day weekend tag sale at Trinity Episcopal Church in Lakeville was about 10 years ago.

It rained off and on all day Saturday, May 24, so the sale, originally planned to be outside, was moved indoors.

Immediately upon entering, a shopper had the opportunity to pick up a copy of “The Lime Rock Cook Book of Trinity Church.”

This 1981 edition adds then-contemporary recipes to the editions of 1897 and 1951.

Entries include:

Mystery Pickle

Spinach Soup

Rabbit Fricassee

Ancestral Sauce for Plum Pudding

Congregation Beth David in Amenia hosted a conversation on the enduring legacy of Anne Frank, one of the 20th century’s most iconic figures. Ruth Franklin, award-winning biographer and critic, shared insights from her highly acclaimed book “The Many Lives of Anne Frank” with thought-provoking questions from Ileene Smith, Editorial Director of the Jewish Lives series. This event, held on July 23 — the date Anne Frank would have turned 96 — invited the large audience to reconsider Anne Frank not just as the young writer of a world-famous diary, but as a cultural symbol shaped by decades of representation and misrepresentation.

Franklin and Smith dove right in; Franklin reading a passage from the book that exemplified her approach to Anne’s life. She described her work as both a biography of Anne Frank and a cultural history of the diary itself, a document that has resonated across the world.

Sunday, July 20 was sunny and warm. Nic Mayorga, son of American concert pianist, the late Lincoln Mayorga, joined me at Tanglewood to hear Yuja Wang play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16. I first saw Wang on July 8, 2022, when she filled in for Jean-Yves Thibaudet on the opening night of Tanglewood’s summer season. She virtually blew the shed down with her powerful and dynamic playing of Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1.

Nic was my guest last season on July 13, when Wang wowed us with her delicate interpretation of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. We made plans on the spot to return for her next date in Lenox.
