Interesting new development:

The PARENTS of my students now want lessons too.

That has happened with two families already.

This is really nice! :-)

[luvie]

Wow! How fun is that!

[left that other site]

It’s VERY gratifying. :-)

[luvie]

It sure does mean that they have great admiration in your playing AND teaching! Good for you!

I like to get into the essence of music...lots of “Jamming”, but explaining the theory behind it as we jam.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[luvie]

Hi there, Janey! Hope you’ve had a high-flying week!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

How’d the day turn out down there?

It would have been a very nice day here if not for the wind. The front is closing in now. Rain’s almost here.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It was another windy, ugly day and 20 degrees colder than it was yesterday. Right now it’s 48 degrees. I guess you’ll be getting this by tomorrow...but cooler, of course. Well, except for the rain. We got no rain.

It will gradually warm up for the weekend. The kitties will be happy! 😸

[radu]

Ugh. Sounds just luverly. But the weekend is right around the corner with the warmup.

The rain is just a couple of miles away now with a second narrow band following. From what was said during the weather report a while ago, I gather there were some stiff storms on the west end of the state but it’s pretty much just rain now.
We’ll be 30 degrees colder tomorrow, and it’ll still be windy. At least they backed off on talk of snow flurries here in the morning but the mountains could still get some.
We’ll warm up a little by the weekend and have 60’s well into next week. I can live with that.

[luvie]

Glad they’ve taken wnow and “stiff storms” off the menu for your area. Don’t need THAT stuff!

I can’t complain. Summer is coming way too soon and then I’ll be wishing for these nice cool temperatures. LOL!

[radu]

They backed off but didn’t rule it out. Could still get a little but it won’t stick, so no biggie. It just sux it’ll be a cold first day of Spring.
The rain sure is a bust. Just sprinkles. Oh well.

Time to head out and get ready for bed. Early morning for the Republican women’s meeting. A lot to discuss this month and I imagine the first thing will be lining up a new president.

Have a good rest of the night. Sleep well.

[luvie]

Well, off you go. Sweet dreams. Do you want to be the new president? You’d be good at it, but it’s a lot of stuff.

Sorry the rain was a bust. Guess God decided that your 4 inches from the other day was enough.

See ya tomorrow!
