Busy Summer Days

As summer approaches the more stuff seems to find its way into our schedule. But here is a little of whats been happening around here lately.

A few weeks ago we spent a sabbath afternoon out at Joseph's family's vacation home on the river. Of course Our photographer took the opportunity to capture a few more images of the "two love birds". 

I could not help myself in posting this one that my sidekick fixed up. I think you'll get a "kick" out of it (as my Grandpa would say).

Last week was quite the musical week. Tuesday I had my first piano recital. It was an experience to say the least. I enjoyed getting to see all the different students that my teacher has. Most were little boys between the ages of 6 and 12 which of course brought much amusement in watching them. I really enjoyed it over all.

But the best truly came that Sabbath evening after I had played the regular church stuff. That evening we went to our first real country band. A church member's husband had a large group of southern gospel instrumentalist and singers get together a couple time a month to sing. He had been asking us to come for some time, and so last Saturday evening we went. Several from our church went and we all ended up singing several hymns for them. Then some how I got roped into playing my violin as they had no fiddle that night. I have played that style a time or two, but it is not a style which I find "just flows from my heart". But it pleased those I was playing with and thats what I did it for. It was quite interesting though. 

This week I have been trying to catch up on all my WDC office work that has been neglected. We are working non stop to get all the orders out before we leave in a couple of weeks for NC campmeeting. I am really looking forward to a day of rest tomorrow. It is much needed.
