What's on your agenda for this sunny and warm Friday?

I Just got home from some minor grocery shopping, and am chilling with Kitty. I am a tad excited, because today is the day I am going to introduce Alex DeGrassi's Children's dance to my most excellent guitar student, Kate. She is 15, and has been with me since she was 12, I think. Children's Dance is a fast tune, and fairly difficult, but I am confident she can handle it.. I'll teach it to her bit by bit, and a slow pace, and then encourage her to "over-practice" each part, speeding up gradually over time. Gunnar was a riot yesterday. I look forward to playing Stevie's Pride and Joy with him at our next "Showcase." It is warm out, so I will try to get a cycle in before I head to Guitar Center. How is your Friday shaping up?

It’s a little nippy here but not uncomfortably so. I’m finishing lunch and I’ll take it from here.

Chuy's? I bought a sandwich from Subway yesterday. I am still grazing on it.

@TheHorse — no, it’s Friday, so that’s the smoked chicken-stuffed bake potato at Mark’s Feed Store day.

Nothing much. I hope I can get up a bit and finish my shopping list for tomorrow.

I've been trying to sleep today but the workmen have been digging up the street again. I don't know why they keep doing that. They've finished with every other yard, taking out the rocks they've left on top of the ground and putting down topsoil and replanting grass and straw to protect the seeds... When Pretty wakes up later, we need to go pick up our meds and buy a few groceries. (I want some ham for sandwiches and eggs for scrambling.) I'm glad you're having fun with your students.

@TheHorse Thanks. Since they started making all the noise, I've been falling asleep after they leave in the afternoon and waking up around midnight.

It's Summer Garden Eve at my house. Going to hit the low 70s so I've hired Gardening Buddy to come help me get things planted and dirt dumped.

Sunds like a productive day. You have reminded me. Time to water my balcony garden.

I hope Kate learns quickly and enjoys just as the others do. Over here in Kenya almost all days are rainy. So it gets so humid and sometimes foggy especially in the morning. I love that photo. Nice guitar

Thanks. It's a good guitar the photo was taken by a river up in Montana.

@TheHorse That is great. Talking of Montana, I first encountered the name in a novel titled "Lonesome Dove" Must be a great place, that's why the cowboys had to travel with cows all the way from Texas to Montana in that fascinating novel!

I was on off yesterday so today I had to cover a lot of official work. We ordered a wooden shoe rack which was delivered early evening. The current war situation is affecting every person here. The ones who created this situation are playing the victim card while also targeting Hamas style missiles on India.

It's not a tune that I particularly like, but it's surely a good guitar exercise. Yesterday at 6 pm they opened a small park with benches in front of our building, it will be nice to sit there and read a book.
