This morning before the sun came up I rolled over in bed and found a box tucked under the blanket next to my pillow and then I half-hollered, "Tony!" A few seconds later T. walked into the bedroom and flipped on the light.
"Happy Birthday, Nance. I love you," he said, softly as I pulled the heavy box out from under the covers. "I hope you like it." My eyes got big!
"I love it! Oh, Tony you shouldn't have. Thank you so much for the grinder. How'd you know I wanted one?" I asked, as I climbed out of bed and pulled it out of the box. He told me a little birdie had told him. Thank you, little birdie! I've been wanting my own grinder for a long time for my many woodworking projects. "I'm going to paint it pink!"
When T. returned from the Old Timer he told me that he had posted the flyers all over town for Jane Dog and he told everyone at the store about her while they drank coffee. After breakfast Tony went outside to do his chores, so I walked six miles with Leslie and her friends.
After Tony treated me to a fun lunch in Kerrtown we went to the The Yoga Space, so we could attend the Drumming Circle with our good friend June Hartley.
We were the first to arrive and then June arrived one minutes later, so we visited with her and the friendly staff and instructor as we picked out which drums we wanted to use. T. and I chose pretty twin drums and June's was a pretty, but not as big as ours. Before the three of us sat down beside each other Tony took this picture of me hamming it up before the drumming session started.
After ten other nice, friendly people arrived, there were five men and eight women sitting in the drumming circle and then we went to drumming and I thought that it was so incredible that thirteen strangers could get together for the first time and make such great music—using drums! Seriously, it was way too awesome and the good vibes that were flowing inside The Yoga Space can't be described! I cannot wait to do it again—I'm hooked and so are June and T. and the rest of the ten people! We sounded really great and I wish that I could have recorded some of it to share.
The hour and a half passed so quickly, because I was having so much fun and I like everyone else didn't want it to end. And I am thrilled to say that Tony known as, "The Drumming Disliker" really got into drumming—and he's now a changed man! Rump-A-Pump-Pum! I love it.
On our way home, with my spirit soaring high, because of my drumming circle experience I said, "I want a drum for Christmas, Tone."
He chuckled and said, "Me, too."
Once again, I want to thank everyone for making my 59th birthday so great! I love y'all! And June, thank you so much for telling us about the drumming circle at The Yoga Space.
Y'all have a great evening! (Followed by a drum roll.)
