The Ukulele

I think it was 2013 I took up the ukulele after finding out Sun City had a ukulele club.  It sounded like the perfect thing for me to do as I was a guitar player for years but not so much lately as it was just getting too difficult in my advancing years.  So I bought a Luna Tenor ukulele and off to the club I went.  Loved it from day one and it was so easy to learn.  It didn't sound like a toy.   I found I could do more on it than I could on the guitar mainly because the size of it was much more manageable.  4 strings instead of 6.  I do play my guitar from time to time but my hand starts to hurt  pretty quick so a guitar session doesn't last too long.

A New Start

I almost forgot I had a blog. Looks like my last entry was in 2012. A good six years ago. Since then we had an addition to the family. David and Amber have a son , Graham. He is 5 already and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. He will be attending the Charter school David works for. David is the special ed teacher. Aiden will also be attending the same school.

 Lisa and Shawn have had some changes in jobs. They now live in Mesa, AZ which on a good traffic day is only about 50 away. Grandson Aiden just turned 13 this month and Andrew in now 21. Aiden will be starting 8th grade at yet another school but this one is a Charter School with emphasis on performing arts. He has signed up for the keyboard, guitar class and audio visual. I am so happy for him as starting in the Mesa school district was a bit of a bummer for him as it is pretty overcrowded and he couldn't take the music classes he wanted.
Craig and Holly have some changes ahead. It will be fun to see how it all goes for them and hope to visit them in October if possible. Larry and I both turned 70 this year. It'a milestone of sorts. We both attended out 50th high school reunions in 2016. Larry in Connecticut and mine in Chula Vista, CA. It was wonderful to attend both together.
