DairyKing's Journal, 26 February 2015

Good Morning, FS Warriors! Well, we got about 3 inches of snow last night, and we're looking at a high of about 14 today, and going down to -4 tonight. Calling for it to be colder tomorrow. I think the weather here is running about a month behind. Must be that global warming.

Last night, we had our first Nursing Home gig since October or November last year. It was the first gig I have ever led. Since our leader (and extremely talented guitarist - but doesn't sing as well as me LOL!) left us, I have been a little apprehensive about relying on my own instrumental skills to provide the music. But you know what? They loved it! They don't really care whether you can pick like Chet Atkins, they just want to hear some stuff that brings them back to good memories. We even did a couple songs acapella. It was pretty cool; some were even dancing in their wheelchairs. They booked us for once a month. The pay is great: smiles and hugs!

I'm about to go stir crazy! Too cold to get a lot done outside. Now that this horrific cold has gone on, I'm ready to get some stuff done. I think I'm going to work on cabinets this weekend. I've put it off long enough. The dog and I need some quiet time together anyway. :) He loves to fetch, but he's just as content to lay down wherever I'm working.

Well, I'm not getting much done, but I only come to work to rest anyway. Haha; better not let the boss see this. Anyway, I hope you all have a great day and evening. Stay warm! Toodles!

Wonderful post. Glad you all brought some joyful good times to the nursing home. Everyone needs that, especially nursing home people being cooped up so much. Have fun with your dog and enjoy your quiet time.

Hugs and smiles are sometimes the best pay
