What I've Been Up To

Since my last post, life has been busy. There has been some sickness, some loss, and some wonderful things. I'm going to share about the wonderful today!

The reel to reel recoder my sis got has enabled her to save many old recordings. Then I found a way to convert my old cassette tapes. I found my grandpa preaching, my mom and my other grandpa telling family stories, a lot of singing including a duet my brother sang in high school. He's been gone from this life for many years, so there was some ugly crying when I heard his voice coming from that old tape!

I completed the first session of the Grow Me a Story class and we are now onto the second session. I'm enjoying it so much! It is really getting the reluctant artist/writer in me to come out of my self imposed seclusion. Life feels very good right now. Thank you for stopping by. Please leave a comment if you enjoy reading my little blog.

Well Look At You!!! Congratulations on attending the class!! I love your writing...
And I feel your sadness at hearing your brothers voice...I feel the same fullness in my chest so much, I think I'll burst...
Love you friend...

Thanks Donna! It was both sad and joy when I heard him singing. Such a treasure to find a recording I thought had been destroyed years ago. Love you too! So glad I found a friend like you!
HUGS!
