In The Midst Of A Concerto


Okay.
Not really.
Actually I propped up the bow with some books so it just looked like.

Love at First Sight... Well Almost


This is the first glimpse I ever got of my violin.

The lady we were thinking of buying it from sent this to us and I looked at it and was like
"What an odd color! And it doesn't have fine-tuners! I don't really want it!"

But we went and looked at it anyway.
She pulled up in the parking lot of the YMCA where she worked and got out, open up her trunk and pulled out the case.

The violin hadn't been played in years so it was horribly out of tune but I remember playing just a little bit -open strings- and I said
" That's it!
I LOVE this instrument!!!
I want to play this violin for the rest of my days!!!"

And so ends the story of how I got my violin almost a year ago.

Ready And Waiting...

Not extremely creative but I liked all the chairs in rows.
(I like rows of things!)

Gray Skies


Do you ever have one of those days where you keep trying and it just keeps getting worse?

One of those days where
(long story)
you end up finding peanut butter on your violin bow?
"Michael...!!!"

One of those days where you try to tune your violin
and the E string that you've had for years breaks???

One of those days where,
while putting in your E string you break the G string that you've had for years???

It's kind of sad right now.
I'm actually kind of scared to touch it so I just left it to rest for a while.

I took and changed it to B/W.

Rachel's Blog


Just to let you know, my sister, Rachel, has started a blog titled:
(drum roll)
BUNNY BUSINESS
So head on over and take a look see.

~Untitled~


All my posts lately have been untitled I know.
I can NEVER think of one.
And I can't remember what this flower is called so naturally I can't title it with it's common name much less the scientific one!

Look To The Sky


Which is one of Ryan's favorite lines from the The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe movie.
Sad but true.

Bible Stories

And what's sad is somewhere in those third world countries they worship the balled up Kleenex.




P.S. This is actually a picture from one of our children's bibles and the story is of Gideon.
I do believe he is praying to God after he found the sheep skin wet and the ground dry.

P.S.S. I did actually take the picture of the picture.
I think that counts.

Frozen Blueberries


Not all that creative but I thought I'd post it anyways.

No This is not a photo but I had to post it


I know this has already been on Farm Kids And Crocs
but I wanted to post it hear and tell about it.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen on uTube and my favorite second to
Lovestory Meets Viva La Vida by Jon Schmidt.

Anyway, back to the story.
It was so funny and good.
I like the ending the best but you have to watch the whole thing and turn up the volume at the beginning for the little speech the guy gives because that is funny as well.
Enjoy.
