the cabin concerts<\/a>.<\/p>\nthey\u2019ve been doing them a couple of years now, and friday\u2019s concert was the best one i\u2019ve been to. too bad you missed it. stevens and mclain; stevens plays the harmonica, raymond mclain plays the banjo and the fiddle. i wasn\u2019t looking forward to this concert as much as others, but it blew me away. they were both unbelievably good. <\/p>\n
there won\u2019t be any more cabin concerts till the fall, but mark it down on your calendar. turn to the first week of september, and write down “look up thecabinconcerts.com,” and then make a reservation. you\u2019ll thank yourself in september.<\/p>\n
mom and i played some music together on saturday afternoon. she played the flute and i played the violin. B. (Beauregard) wasn\u2019t there to play the guitar, which is why we sucked.<\/p>\n
Well, i sucked, anyway. Mom didn\u2019t do so bad. the problem was that there was no guitar and singing to drown out my awful notes. plus the songs we were playing really cried out for the guitar. a couple of them weren\u2019t perfectly awful, but the majority certainly were.<\/p>\n
we had a lovely mother\u2019s day celebration. a cook-out, and what a great day for it. amy was going to bring a pie, and she carried in a rhubarb pie in a box that said “rhubarb pie” on the top, with a price. i thought that was clever of her, writing that stuff so it looked more professional. jim had made a pound cake, and cleverly constructed a “sarah lee” wrapper that was IDENTICAL to a real sarah lee cake box. <\/p>\n
we sat out on the deck for quite some time. we got Mom a Mother\u2019s ring, with our names engraved on it and our birth stones. we hadn\u2019t actually purchased it yet, because we didn\u2019t know her ring size, but we printed out a nice copy from the computer, and amy assured me that she\u2019s going to order it today.<\/p>\n
amy insisted on grilling the burgers, even though she\u2019s a vegetarian. perhaps she\u2019s re-thinking the whole no-meat thing, or maybe she just wanted to be that close to the cooking meat.<\/p>\n
dad bought mom the most spectacular gift- it\u2019s a set of three lighted flamingos for the yard. they\u2019re quite spectacular, and boats will now know the house as the one with the lighted flamingos.<\/p>\n
ok, now i\u2019m cheering myself up (marginally) by thinking of the lovely weekend. surely there will be at least one of them this summer? surely there will.<\/p>\n
maybe even two.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace NOT going to nap because then there will be no chance of sleep tonight.<\/p>\n
p.s. i wish i\u2019d taken some pictures of our cookout last night. must remember to have the camera around next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
i think they should just do away with monday altogether. monday makes me feel like there\u2019s no point to life at all. all day, i\u2019ve been trying to think of some kind of a point, but i haven\u2019t been able to come up with one. last night i really wanted to get up and write, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6JLYy-2x","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
