All the life things are happening – and in some ways happening too fast – while in others – it just seems to drag on forever.
My daughter and wife are out at a solo assessment for my daughter’s school orchestra. It’s where she has to perform for a judge for her year end assessment grade. Continue reading “And the train keeps rolling…”
Here are some more selections from my collection of music favorites over the years. This time around lets remember back to first seeing Jesus on that barstool in Miami, get Way Away listening to sympathetic lies, and reflect back to a fond memory. Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #3”
My family and I spent this past Memorial Day weekend up in the mountains – hiking, exploring, watching sunsets, and always on the lookout for bears. We even saw one! We had a really good time. Traveling on this weekend has been a little tradition for us for the past 10 years or so. For … Continue reading Memorial Day
