happy days

Lovely b-day grandma 6.0 rode 2 merry go rounds the Denzel at Cheyenne Mt zoo and the one at Co mills. going back to that one. Found R's missing hat. Found a fabulous western wear store, could spend lots of money , if we had it. party with the kids. Le Ly makes exquizid cupcakes. Ly totally got the kitchen clean, that was a wonderful gift. somedays i dispare a ever seeing that clean. Lo & D gave me an etable arrangement, lasted all weekend long, made camping much more enjoyable. Still hate my job especially when new neighbors are moving in that they're taking out walls on the other side of my wall.

White Fence Farm

Was a very quiet victory. The place doesn't open til 4pm and everyone heads for the dining room and then after supper they wander, so I played by myself for about an hour in a very pleasant venue. I want a grape arbour just like theirs. It was probably 15 degree cooler under there. They asked me back. I shall return.

I'm on edge but excited

Tomorrow 4:30 White Fence Farm Grape Arbor Hammered Dulcimer preformance, Nervous, keep making mistakes on pieces I know backwards. Ggirls dress is done so is bonnet and slippers. Less weeds in the garden and one fence post is up. North side of garage has has it's concrete done, now we need to move dirt to start other sides. Got busy weekends ahead. Clean Chapel and HD this weekend, my bday next weekend, wonder if anyone remembers I'm turning 60 I made it. Don't feel it. Following weekend, Manitu Music fest, next week sewing classes all Saturday.

Hammered Dulcimer YeeP

Have a young friend, plays violin, told him about White Fence Farm and their bluegrass jams. He asked for a ride. When we got there they had the "Guitars and Stuff" home open for the first time that we're been there. I walked in a lot my breath. Old Martins and Gibson guitars. Zithers, Balankas, Auds, everything stringed, except a Hammered Dulcimer and I said so. The guy behind the counter says, I tried one but couldn't play it, so I sold it. I asked, do you want me to teach you? You play? I do, Would you like to play here? I would, So begins the e-mail conversations. They have a lovely grape arbour off the side of the little old house, (well it's not that old, just looks it. it wasn't there 2 years ago.) I'll be there the 14th, yee haw.
Making slow progress on the concrete work around the garage. Wow the weather's been hot. The garden and the weeds are taking off like crazy. Anyone want zucinni?
