WEEKEND FUN: Grandparents Ice Cream Party, Art by Rock Musician, Meditation, Historical Society Events

By |

This weekend starts off with an ice cream party for grandparents at the Senior Center on Friday morning. (Yes, it’s OK, at least for some, to eat some ice cream before lunch today! It’s National Grandparents Day.) Mount Auburn Cemetery is holding a sunset sound meditation on Saturday at 5:30. It’s such a peaceful beautiful place for mediation. There are two events this Sunday put on by the Watertown Historical Society this weekend, a walking tour in the morning, and in the afternoon, a one-woman show, as Michele Gabrielson portrays Mercy Otis Owen, the first historian of the American Revolution at the library. Sometime this weekend, trek over to the Armenian Museum of America to see the exhibit of Serj Tankian’s art, the Art of Disruption, which includes sound, images and poetry. It’s inspired by his memoir, Down with the System.

The three people killed in an apparent murder-suicide in Watertown were part of a “blended family” in which the younger couple helped care for the elderly owners of the home on Boyd Street. The husband of the older couple passed away in early August; and the younger couple had a baby, for whom extended family is seeking a new home.
