Momma's in a What?

Momma's in a band! Now you know that both Miguel and Andy were in bands and mom's great love of playing and singing... but what's this?
Well, hold on. Our church has decided to begin a praise band and Iwas asked to be the pianist. Two practices so far and I love it! We have three guitarists, and even an enthusiastic former Arthur Hill High drumline member with his full set of drums. The music has been a challenge to me, but somehow I have been able to keep up and even improvise a bit.
There's a new wave of enthusiasm at church as we now have a pastor and have renovated the sanctuary - new seats and carpeting.
So life goes on after teaching... I have joined a ladies prayer group, the church band, and have been busy getting the house ready for market. We signed the contract last night and the realtor was really impressed with the house. Get this! She commented on our lovely new carpet! Thanks, Kevin, for doing such a great job maintaining our more than 9 year old carpet!
Actually I think I need a break from sorting and cleaning the house. And so I've decided to begin studying more technical Spanish as I am contemplating becoming certified to be a court interpretor/translator for the State. The test is in March. I would like to do translation work in Bolivia and this would be a means of brushing up and obtaining some credible credentials.

  • Mom in a band... that is awesome! Glad retirement is going so well. You deserve the break and the chance to just enjoy some different things.

    I will have to get to Saginaw to see you play!
