Well summer is in full swing and so are the summer activities. My teenage daughter plays softball on a traveling team (we are pretty local, however, due to gas prices this year) and also on the girls city league. So, my time is strung thru her games and my own activities. Needless to say, I haven't posted for quite sometime. Our stay at Wildwood Cove was a great time. The rains had all the lakes up so we didn't get to go fishing or out on a boat, but had fun just hanging around the campsite and playing v-ball and frisbee. We went into Grove, Oklahoma on afternoon for local shopping and icecream. There were some cute little shops there. Cabins were very quaint and we loved our campground hosts. Even had dinner with them one night and was pleasant! So...what other amazing things are happening in the sunflower state? Rain! We are getting quite the supply of rain. It has rained at least once a week ...every week for the last 5 weeks. It rains as I post. The rain is great for a restful weekend..but sure messes up the outdoor life. I am spending quite a bit of time this summer learning to play my mountain dulcimer better with club members. I even played at a jam at the Botanica Gardens this week and that was my first ever really out in the open jam. It was fun, it was hot.....and I know next time will be a better performance even. We had probably 6 mountain dulcimer players, one hammered dulcimer, two guitars and one banjo/mandolin player. We had a play list of about 20 songs.....2-3 of which I am still not even close to getting, but the rest I did fairly well. Recently I discovered my new big hope! I want a BanjMo or Banjimer. It is an instrument that sounds like a banjo but is played like a mountain dulcimer. It is cool! How eager I am to add this to my collection of acoustic instruments.......and playing time. Hope you all have loads of fun morn, noon and night! Until next time I am strumming my life away! |
