Thanks for violins.
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I'll jump right in:
1. I'm thankful for cooperative return policies. Several weeks ago, I mentioned that I had to return a range that I had purchased, and I hoped that the particular range was just a lemon and that the replacement wouldn't have the same problem. Well, unfortunately, it did. On the bright side, the store quickly picked up the second range and refunded my money. I'm putting appliance purchases on the back burner (!) for the moment.
2. I'm thankful for temples. I went one morning this week to the temple. I'm always amazed at how much insight comes in just an hour or two of reflection.
3. I'm thankful for my sister. She and her family came to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with her in-laws, and I got a chance to see her and her family on Wednesday. The last time I saw her was in January at our grandma's 100th birthday celebration. We feel lucky to have two visits in one year!
4. I'm thankful for my brother. …

I love the violin favorite piece is Vivaldi Winter- :)
ReplyDeleteVivaldi compositions are lovely.
DeleteI found violin so difficult. I think its the no frets thing... Where do I put my fingers? None the less such a glorious instrument!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! With piano, what you play is what you get. With violin, just a slight shift of the finger can make your note go flat (or sharp). However, I also agree that the violin is a beautiful instrument! One of these days, I need to take mine out of its case and practice!
DeleteThe violin not only sounds beautiful but also looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are right; it is a beautiful instrument in looks as well as in sound.
DeleteGrowing up I always wanted to learn to play the violin. I begged my mother for one but since she had hated practicing she was convinced that I would hate it and that it would be a waste of her money.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. It's never too late, though! :-) I didn't study violin until my daughter did.
DeleteMy dad's dream has always been to play the violin. I was horrible at the flute and all music. Love this though.
ReplyDeleteHe should pursue his dream. :-)
DeleteValuable skill, playing the Violin. Personally haven't a musical bone in my body, but I admire those who can get music out of such a difficult instrument.
ReplyDeleteIt's not an easy one, that's for sure.
