Don't worry about the time...I am just so happy that you wrote back! 😊

It's wonderful that you found a positive way to deal with grief.

I find it incredibly amazing that you AND your son's all have music degrees! So neat... Were you or are either of your sons music teachers? (I know you still take part in orchestra. One or both of your sons are in a jazz band?)

I love how you planned ahead to solve your empty nest problem. Animals are great! To me, they are just like family. But, having a farm must be hard work and sometimes exhausting. I admire you for that.

Taekwon-do isn't the easiest thing for me with my health conditions. Our Master Instructor also has fibromyalgia and can always tell when I have a bad day. He is very compassionate and has me do certain moves that tend to help. Originally, Michael was supposed to be taking the class by himself. He refused to move off of the chair without me. It is actually really nice that we can do something special together. He and his daddy have a lot of common activities (including rides in the big truck), so this is something for the 2 of us. Slowly, I think this is making him respect me more. Lately, though, class has been interesting...he is testing the waters/limits with our instructor. That stresses me out, but I am told that I need not worry and to take the time there for me. We are set to get our yellow belts this month, but Michael is not wanting to learn the pattern for the test. This pattern translates from Korean to English with the meaning Heaven and Earth.

I never knew anything about making a steel drum! I will have to check it out. Someday, maybe my husband and I can make one! That would be too cool...so relaxing...and, yes, HAPPY MUSIC!! (Thank you for the reference on that!)

I hope you are doing well. I have a cold for the 5th time since winter started. It's spring now...go away colds!!

Also, how are your goats doing?

Take care for now, friend! 😊💖💞🌷🌷🌷💞💖😊
