Kangaroom systems has some really nice plans.

Two classes down….20 something more to go…

I attended my state’s Sacred Harp Sing Convention earlier this month. I was able to purchase the 2012 Cooper edition of “The Sacred Harp”. Caught up with a lot of singers I met back in February. Right now, I am teaching myself which shape goes with each sound. Anyway, I look forward to singing more in 2013.

I’m making progress and can play “When They Ring the Golden Bells”.

Took my second trip back in April. Incredible!

Okay. I can play 3 chords now; G, C, and D.
I’m working on a simple version of “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands”. It’s coming along very slowly.

I love my guitar. :)

three more to go.

My son’s first visit to the dentist was successful. Prior to his check-up, we borrowed some books from the library about going to the dentist. He really liked the one titled “Vera Goes To The Dentist”.
I was able to go with him to the exam room, and I had to hold him still in my lap. The dentist took a good look inside his mouth and said he didn’t see any cavities. Hooray!

A haibun I submitted to the e-zine, Simply Haiku, was published in their Autumn 2006 edition. I’m very pleased to have reached this goal.

Now I need to edit the goal to read, “be paid to have my poetry published” ;)

I’ve had good success finding sea beans this summer. One of the beaches I go to had a bunch of stuff wash up after Tropical Storm Alberto. In addition to hamburger beans I found some sea coconuts, some water hickory pods and a pretty glass cologne bottle.

I love beachcombing!

Or rather, homemade postcards. I’ve made several postcards over the past few weeks and sent them off to various parts of the globe. I’m just a little worried about them surviving the postal machines.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I took the time to read a few books this summer about the native people of Florida. Now when I travel to various parts of the state, I’ll have a better appreciation/understanding of Florida history. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll even come across some broken bits of pottery in my backyard :D

I bought a couple of Roma tomatoes and planted them in a container on my patio along with some herbs. I’ve also planted geraniums and mums.

We made reservations at the place we are staying. One step closer to my goal.

Routine dental visits are challenging for a special needs child. There is a desensitization process one must go through. If successful, we will finally be able to have my son’s teeth examined.

I love writing haiku. There is still so much to be learned about this form, so much to master.

I want to show my family the neat things I found in St. Augustine.
