So this is what I've done this summer:
I joined the Golden Eagle Community Band so I could brush up on my bass playing skills. We played a variety of music: marches, show tunes, standards, some pop. I really liked the Sousa marches, Liberty Bell turned out to be my favorite because we played it the night of the fireworks in the Shade. On the way home, Mike and Mark sang it from start to finish. I laughed until I cried.
I've gotten to Wildwood twice. It's so relaxing. I love the deck especially in the morning, drinking coffee as people walk, jog or bike by. It's so beautiful there. I hope to get back soon.
We remodeled the powder room which was just insane because it took SO long. The result is that it looks good and it works.
