Ch-ch-ch-changes!

So the food and beverage industry took a double hit last week with the closing of Jubilee and the burning down of Yocona River Inn. Both of these places hold alot of memories for me, so it's been a sad week. Yocona plans to rebuild, so there is hope on that front at least. I've spent every birthday but one for the last few years at Yocona, so I'm hoping they will be open again by my birthday. fingers crossed!

This weekend Daniel is going on another men's hiking trip and I'm going on a girl's trip to Mobile. Daniel and 3 friends are just going to Sipsey in Alabama for 2 days of hiking. Mom, Frances, and I are heading down to Mobile early Friday morning to visit with Sherri, Chris, Madeline, and Avery! Fairhope, AL is having an arts fair on Saturday, so if the weather cooperates, we'll be hitting that up! I'm also hoping we can squeeze in cocktails and apps on the causeway since we missed that last trip!

I didn't have a violin lesson last week, so today will be my first lesson in a while. I definitely haven't been practicing as much as I should, but I guess there is no point in crying over spilt milk. I did get a little practice in on Friday night when Lisa came for dinner. We made her play since she took lessons for 7 years as a kid. Needless to say, she was 23048234234 times better than me! We actually took candid videos of Lisa, Daniel, and me playing, but after reviewing them, I have decided not to post them. They don't represent our finest playing from that night, and I'd hate for you to judge based on what we have on camera. Next time we have an impromptu 'jam' session, I'll make presentable videos.

I am so glad you did not post video of me playing. I'd have to hack your blog to take the video down.
