Extra-Curric Activities #6

Of all the activities we are involved in around our home, the most rewarding for Mom is the piano. I remember taking lessons each week from Mrs. Widowson in David City NE. She charged $1.50 per half-hour lesson. (This was expensive too.) My Mom would drop my two older brothers off with me and we'd all take lessons. We'd have to wait for each other. We'd do our homework and stuff while we waited. Mom went to do the weekly grocery shopping.

Now, Ben is getting into it. He just performed the "Hallejulah Chorus" for his Christmas program. It had a lot of chords and lots of "stretching of fingers" and he did just wonderful! I had to stay home with sick children, but Glenn videotaped it. If only I could figure out how to get it onto this blog... that Apple is looking better all the time. (Hope Glenn doesn't read this.)

This is a wonderful talent that Benjamin is developing. I hope he continues to love it! Zach is patiently waiting till he's eight - then he wants to start.
