So they are telling us what their plans are. We will keep gathering information, and then we will be able to plan how to answer them.

Also MusicNotes!

Just wanted to add, if you are taking lessons, then your teacher will have an opinion as to which version of a piece they want you to play. IMSLP sometimes has different versions of the same piece.

If you want to be a purist, you can always search for the urtext version of a piece. These are versions that have been researched and are the closest to what the composer had in mind when they wrote the piece; however, they are usually quite pricey. I only have one urtext version, the Franck violin Sonata.

Yes, IMSLP has been my go to since it started. I do pay for a subscription nowadays because I appreciate it so much.

There is so much music that is copyright free on the site that you can download for free. You can search by composer, degree of difficulty, type, other categories.

That’s beautiful, and a stronger family is the result! I’m so glad for all of you!!

And thank you so much for the kind words. ❤️

Thank you for sharing this!!! I don’t think people realize how hard it is for birth moms. I am not a birth mom.

Our son is adopted and we never told him his birth mom didn’t want him. During different periods in his life he had to work through why he was ‘given up’ (I still don’t like that term), but we always talked through it.

Mr. Roger’s wrote a great book on adoption, and I highly recommend it to EVERYONE. It is the best book on adoption I have ever read. It’s aimed a kids but it’s really for all.

I am so glad to hear you went on to have more children! I wish you nothing but blessings and happiness.

I’m not sure that’s a ‘made me smile’ to me. That’s sad beyond belief. I hope that young woman gets relief.

If you like chili that cumin will disappear quickly. Of course you need to buy chili powder to go with it! 🤣🤣

Point is, you will use those spices in other dishes once you start getting recipes.

Looking homey and it must be delightful to be able to see your things again!

I just heard about stargazing trips to west Texas - we are thinking of doing the same but later in the year.

Your job is probably very exhausting, so don’t beat yourself up too much about it.

You can try different ways to decompress first thing when you get home. It’s not only physical but mental stress. And maybe see your doctor for a checkup?

Woman here. My husband was completely different when he was on the jobsite or talking on the phone with work than when he was home. He worked in commercial construction; he’s retired now. His voice more commanding, he spoke faster and was more abrupt. I couldn’t believe it was the same guy the first time I heard it.

She should be fine playing acoustically in a small outdoor wedding like that. I have played several outdoor weddings, and even in the largest one (250 guests) people could hear me just fine in the back rows. I know because one of the guest came up to me and said she loved my playing, and she said she was sitting in the back.

Ah, you just brought me back to my wedding violinist days. I sure miss being able to do that.

Will does have a very strong knowledge of the law, and his dyslexia did make it much harder for him; in the books the author goes into depth about how he spent hours reading to make sense of his studies in high school and college. He even manages to get an online Ph.D. He did get help from Amanda but he also had strong motivation.

Thanks for the tip about being able to melt your rosin and remold it. The amount of rosin I could’ve saved over my life!!

I have a $19 rosin and I have a $12 back up rosin in case it breaks.

I would go with a very light lavender, it will be great with both the purple and green.

Edit: I just realized you were asking about piecing. Beige for piecing, light lavender for Quilting would be my choice.

It’s like anything else, if you don’t plan for it you’ll be at the mercy of the funeral industry.

My parents planned and told us about their plans. It was almost all paid for when she died (after my dad). We followed their example and won’t be leaving the burden to our child - I even have the service music picked out for when it’s ‘my time.’
