An Unexpected Post

On Wednesday, Mom and I left for a string workshop that I am attending. The workshop is on "overcoming tension". So far it has been a great time of re-learning the violin!!!! I say re-learning because it has been necessary for me to start at square one of violin basics. I have been working on my bow hold/grip, the position and functuion of my left hand, and rhythm!!! I am so thankful for the Lord providing this oppurtinity to learn more not only just about the violin but how to play the violin correctly.

The following pictures are of the difficult time we had the morning of our departure........

Big hugs goodbye!

What a beautiful family I have!!!!

This picture is part of a rather long story that took place today...............It began in the morning at brunch. It was during the announcments that we found out that there was to be a weaner roast at 4:oo clock this afternoon at a local park and everyone was supposed to be lined up to leave at 12:00 p.m. We had planned to take a friend to exchange a pair of shoes and get some vitamins and a run for coffee (they did not serve any at brunch) and practice, practice, practice!!!!! That left us with 1 hour to run around a big city for our errands and no time for violin practice!!! So we went to the store to return the shoes and Mom stayed in the van while talking to Dad. Dad has been fighting a bad cold and feeling rather miserable and since we did not have any practice times today (other than personal practice) Dad decided that we should come home. So Mom and I went to drop our friends off at the park. We arrive at the entrance to the park and the lady tells us "the group is at the middle shelter house". So we traveled forward to find the "middle shelter house". We continued on and came to a 4 way intersection. with signs pointing in every direction to different shelter houses but there was none called "middle shelter house". There were only letters of the alphabet to describe them. We decided to follow our instincts and head forward to where the majority of shelter houses were. There was no one in sight from the training center, so we continued on our quest for the weaner roast!!! After going around several spots more than once we decided to go back to the begining and ask for directions!!!! That is if we could find it:) We made it to the front without getting lost and found out where the "middle shelter house" was (just as a side note this was NOT the name of the shelter house) and made our way there!!! All in all it was a jolly adventure, and we had a lovely time visiting with our dear sisters in the Lord.

We decided to take the time to snap some photos of our memorable trip while waiting for Motherums to get directions:)

The training center

Mom was patiently waiting as we are about to head for home for the weekend, but I had to snap at least one picture of the training center for the family at home as they were expecting pictures and I did not want to disappoint them!!!

Anyhow, the reason I called this a suprise post is becasue I was not expecting to be able to spend the weekend at home!!!! What a wonderful blessing to be able to be with my family!!!! ~K~
