We just got back from a wonderful afternoon,
enjoying good friends and good food.
These are some of my fellow musicians.
When we get together . . . it is always a good time.
Me and my sweet Steve.
Blogging sisters . . . just want to have fun :)
I hope that you are all having
a joy filled weekend.
Your blogging sister,
Connie
You are a ray of sunshine. I bet you all play some foot-stompin' music at least some of the time.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, we play a huge variety from bluegrass, country, blues, gospel, folk, 50, 60 & 70 rock, and even polkas . . . let's just say we are a well rounded group, LOL.
DeleteHave a wonderful day and thanks so much for visiting.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteEspecially the one of you and your sweetheart; oh, and the first one; and the second one... *grin**
I admit it, I love them all.
How I would have love to have been there, and listened to you all play!
love,
K.
Hi Kerin, we would have loved having you . . . Good fun, good music and lots of food :)
DeleteI stepped right off my diet, but I'm back on today :)
Have a marvelous day and thanks for stopping by.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Connie- You are just beautiful- inside and out! I love how sweet you and your dear heart look together. Blessing to you and Happy Sunday- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Diana, Thank you . . . Steve and I have molded into one person through the years and I can not imagine life without him right here by my side. Thirty eight years ago at the end of February, he appeared at my door. He say, I know that you don't know me, but would you like to go out. I said no, then the next week I ask him out . . . we've been together ever since. We'll have our 37 wedding anniversary in April :).
DeleteThanks so much for popping in and for being such a sweet dear friend.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
When I first read the title I thought you were making jam (I think you call it jelly!!). What a fun afternoon you had. Spending time with friends, making music and eating what more could you want xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Fran, it was a wonderful afternoon . . . I wish you and Pete could have joined us :)
DeleteHave a lovely day and thanks so much for popping in . . . I love your company :)
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Looks like so much fun--music brings people together--how fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy . . . it certainly does. It is like a smile, it doe's not matter what language you speak you can have music and enjoy it together.
DeleteWishing you a perfect day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
How fun! I can almost hear the music now :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie, we would have loved to have you here with us. It was a good time and the more the merrier:)
DeleteThanks for visiting, you're a sweetie-pie.
Your blogging sister, Connie
What fun, you and your sweetie are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Hi Carol, it was a very nice afternoon . . . just a bunch of old geezers having a good time :)
DeleteWish you were here :)
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
I hope you have a great weekend too. You must have a blast playing with all your buddies. I love the photo of you and Steve together!
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie, It was a good time . . . our daughter refers to it as one of our "Geezer Parties", but she has been calling it that for 20 years, :)
DeleteWishing you sunny skies or a great umbrella.
Oh my, I'll bet you have a collection. Have you ever done an umbrella post?
Sounds fun to me!
Have a marvelous day and thanks so much for stopping by.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Looks like fun. My goal this year is to actually get good enough to play for someone. I finally got the strumming part to sound like strumming! And I'm learning notes and picking. I'm enjoying it. Wish I had more time to practice. It does look like you have a good foot stomping group of fun people there!
ReplyDeleteCindy Bee
Hi Cindy, we do have a marvelous time together. I wish that I lived closer we could form a duo and go around playing at the local nursing homes together. You would not believe the pleasure that you get from playing for them. One of the places where I go solo is an Alzheimer's home . . . they may not remember a lot of things, but sometimes I'll see one or more of them mouthing along to an old tune. Music can be such a magical thing . . . after playing in a place like that I feel so gloriously blessed, and I feel like this little gift of music that I have is being used in the best possible way. It's a joyful thing :)
DeleteYou have been one of my dearest and sweetest followers. I feel a little hug every time I see that you've left a comment. Have a wonderful day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
You guys look so happy.
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
Hello Anne . . .yes we are, we're a good bunch of friends.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and visiting . . . I love company.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
It looks like fun...and I bet it sounded great.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, It is a lot of fun every time we get together.
DeleteThis particular time we thought and brought a camera.
We had not had a group shot in a few years, although we get together several times a month.
Thank you for stopping by, I adore company and get so much pleasure reading the comments left by my blogging friends.
Have a wonderful day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Looks like a great time- bet it sounded great too!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri, thanks for stopping by . . . yes it was a great time!
DeleteHave a sweet day yourself.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Looks like a really good time! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was :)
DeleteConnie, Seeing you with all your musician friends....takes me back to when I was 6-8 years old. My father had a mandolin and he would get with two other men who played guitars. We kids always liked to hear the music.xo,Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, I absolutely adore hearing the mandolin. We have a friend that played with us all the time, but he has become widowed and his children moved him closer to them. He is missed, but some of the group travel and visit him and play together. I hate driving in the winter, but when the weather turns to spring, I'll have to make the trip. Music is a miraculous thing :)
DeleteHave a lovely day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Hi Connie ... love the pictures. How fun!
ReplyDeleteKathy M.
Thank you . .. Kathy . . . you are a sweetie :)
DeleteYou look such a happy crowd there Connie. I'm sorry I haven't been visiting here from Heartforhome-making, but I had messed up my feed settings and didn't see your updates!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs
Lesley
Hello Lesley, I am so excited to hear from you . . . hoping that you can help me.
DeleteWhen I go to my blog reader list (on my dashboard). . . it is not there. It sounds like I am in the same boat that you were.
I do not have the list of post up dates and do not know how to get it back.
What did you do?
Hope to hear from you and thank you so very much for stopping by. It is wonderful to see you again. I'm coming over to your blog right now to post this and to see what you have been up to :)
Have a joy-filled and wonderful day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
I'm glad I finally get to see you! Is this a band and you are in it, or just a group of friends who love to play together? I would love to see you play if you post a video. What kind of music do you play?
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, The answer to your question is yes and yes . . . Within this group are members of the Old Time Fiddlers which I am a member and travel around playing with them. Also, in this group are friends that we all get together with at least once a week and just play together in one of the gentleman's garages :)
DeleteWe play every thing from gospel, country, folk, 50, 60, and 70 rock and roll, blues and bluegrass. They are all really nice folks and we have a lot of fun. I started playing almost four years ago, so I am the beginner in the group. One of our friends (the fellow in the front row with the banjo) has been playing for over 75 years. He use to play with some dance bands around San Fransisco back when Saturday night was dance night across American. We do not have a video on You Tube or anywhere that I know of :)
I have been enjoying our correspondence . . . you are becoming a wonderful blogging friend.
Have a lovely week, your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Looking good. What fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon . . . yep, we do have fun :)
DeleteLooks like a fun group. Love that pic of you and your guitar!
ReplyDeleteYou rock Connie!!! I love the pictures! And Steve's overalls! I need to get me some. I spend too much time pulling my pants up while doing chores!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I have a pair and they are fun to wear and great to work in . . . a little bit harder to go to the bathroom in :) but I think every farm-girl and gardener should have a pair :)
DeleteOnce a year I paint freckles on my face, put my hair in two braids or ponytails, wear a straw hat and my bid overalls and head to our local Head Start preschool and play and sing for the kids. It's a lot of fun and they all sing along. We do, the doors on the bus, farmer in the dell, etc.
Have a lovely day and thanks for your sweet comment.
Your blogging sister, Connie:)
Evening Connie! Oh, how I would LOVE to hear you and your friends Playin your MUSIC! I know I would enjoy it so much! You guys are a FINE Looking group! This looks to be so much FUN...bless you all! from one sweetie to another~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteHi Roxie, we do have a very nice time every time we play together.
DeleteThat's about 8 or 9 times a month for me :), but some of them play
even more often than that. I think it keeps us young, and what's better
than always having a song in your heart.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me introduce you
to some of my many friends. Life is good.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)

Hello Carmelina, Music is a wonderful way to spend time with someone you love. I bought my daughter a ukulele for her birthday and couple years ago and we have our known little jam sessions when I visit. It's lots of fun:)
DeleteHave a great day and keep singing :)
Your blogging sister, Connie
Looks like a fun musical group!
