Play “Ashokan Farewell” on violin

I have great memories of this song. I played a simple version of it well. And even memorized. I was getting a little tired of nursery rhymes and practice bit. So I tried scratching out “Ashokan Farewell.” I told Mr Harris, my teacher, and he said let’s work on this then. Because o did say my whole reason to coming back to fiddle is to play this song. We went through the notes. We counted out the rhythm. Only the first four bars. But now practicing at home, I’m playing well enough to hear the tune. Need to work on the G string notes. And my timing, as always. I’m so happy to hear it again.

Weed out purses

I think I did weed them out awhile ago because I couldn’t find much to get rid of. Parted with two because I do have too many.

I also weeded out clothes while putting away laundry. And I have a basket of clothes that I don’t want to part with but won’t be wearing any time soon and I’ll use these clothes to help fill boxes full of heavy stuff and pad stuff.
