Susan in TN Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Allegretto is one of my favorites! How is Baby? Edited December 16, 2020 by Susan in TN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 6 minutes ago, Susan in TN said: Allegretto is one of my favorites! She is currently not liking it. But, that is mainly because she isn't practicing, so she keeps forgetting it, and is having a hard time picking up the notes again. When I got the keyboard, that was one of the last songs I was trying to figure out (and did!). I thought it was a fun song to play. It was very interesting translating the notes from the keyboard to what finger and string on the violin. I'm glad I'm a semi-musician. The first song I tried was Turkey in the Straw. Gymnast had just finished a group online violin practice session, and another student played it. It was stuck in my head, so that's when I dusted off the keyboard, put batteries in it, and started to play. I also went back into the archives of my brain and pulled out Pachelbel's Canon in D. I relied a lot on muscle memory and sound. 🙄 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We ate dinner. It was good. I made potatoes and gravy and corn. Good, old-fashioned stick-to-your-ribs dinner. Now I just need to clean up. Bleh. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had fish tacos for dinner - I had an avocado taco. It feels like a quarter to 12 rather than a quarter to 8. You need a kitty!!

KrissiK Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Dishwasher is humming. I can’t find the little card that tells me how to order the tamales, but I did find a nifty little insert from the Food Network called “Fun with Sheetcakes” and it does look very fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Morning. Three more days until two week break! Except we're getting a huge snowstorm tonight so almost definitely no classes tomorrow. And if there are widespread power outages, possibly not Friday. We will have to wait and see. I usually decide about closings based on what schools do but I think most of the local schools are virtual right now so I need to just make the decision myself. There was an accident and my snake died last week. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning! Gotta run and get the girls' music teacher's package out. I was going to mail it, but decided to UPS it instead and avoid the annoying line. Then must go to grocery store to buy ingredients for a special ginger cake that dd11 is going to bake for our family Lessons & Carols service. Ds16 has cello lesson in a couple hours. Family choir rehearsal after dinner. Y'all are welcome to come. Coffee! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually one of the hardest parts for Arthritis Mommy to do anyway. Then dd10 didn't want to be left out and she volunteered to spray down the shower. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'm making a list, and checking it twice, because if I don't do it, the day won't be nice... I have just enough pages in my journal to make it through the end of December at one page a day. I bought my next journal already but it probably won't last so long. Half a year, maybe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I pulled the trigger and called off classes for tomorrow. Tomorrow is a later start for me so it might have been okay, especially by my latest classes but I felt like I needed to give people notice, not wait and see so I would have had to make the decision first thing in the morning anyway, and nothing is likely to change before then. This way I can sleep in a little bit. The school in the town with the science center is all virtual, but my town (less than 5 miles away) is hybrid and is doing a school closing for tomorrow. Since my official policy is to follow the schools, I figured I should go with it. We are supposed to get 12 to 18 inches here. With possible sleet causing ice under the snow. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
