Hey, Mikey! He likes it!

An Unplugged Evening

We did not watch a movie tonight. We usually do but since Sam and I had been talking about watching less TV I decided tonight would be our first “unplugged” night. First we all played our whistles and I practiced on the recorder a bit. Wow! The fingering is weird to me. Not at all [...]

And Ended Like This

My wonderful, caring, supportive, handsome, darling husband brought me goodies of dark chocolate after reading my entry today. So I’m off to enjoy a relaxing shower and dive into bed. Tomorrow will be a better day. Have I mentioned just how wonderfuly caring, supportive and handsome my husband is lately? *VBG*
