Things That I Hear People Say When They Are Tuning My Violin

1) "Oh dear! I did NOT mean to do that!"
(a string was broken)

2) "Whoops! I had it all wrong! It supposed to be and middle A not a treble E!"
(I keep an eye on her)

3) "How come you always have to be flat?!?"
(I wasn't sure how to respond to that one)

4) "Yeah, sometimes that happens. All you have to do is push in really hard right here and twist."
(I watched in terror as he demonstrated just how to do it)

5) "That's close enough."
(What does that mean? Is it tuned or not?)

6) "When it's too sharp you can just pull right here and it will flatten."
(Um... Okay.)

7) "Well when you're playin' bluegrass you don't really have to tune."
(That was the day I realized that I was going to have to loosen up a little when playin' bluegrass.)

Happy Birthday Michael!

Pretend that I posted this one the 5th because I got busy and never posted this.

Dear Michael,

We were so happy when you came into the world.
We had prayed for a baby boy for years and finally you came.
But little did we guess what a change you would bring to our lives.
Everyday since we have been blessed by how much fun you are to have around.
You are a nut.
You are a sweet little boy that loves to be read to.
You are a tough boy that hardly ever gets hurt.
You are a sleepy baby that wants to be rocked to sleep when you have played all day and are tired.

You are an awesome little brother to have and I thank the Lord wholeheartedly for giving you to us!!!

Love,
Erin
