Zimbo: The Musical Instrument Museum, which is near us, has the piano John Lennon wrote Imagine on. They just added a new video of the Playing For Change musicians singing Imagine. We saw it a couple of weeks ago. Of course I pretty much busted out in tears. (Miss John.)
In other news... Operation Evilwoodpecker is 1/2 over. We filled the worst spots with the expand-o foam. Put stucco over the smaller holes. Tomorrow I'll finish stuccoing where we put the filler. Thank goodness it's not too hot to work outside. This would be a killer job in a month.

Dew - glad you were able to get that started. Jeans and sweatshirt weather here.....maybe 40 deg outside? I think it's supposed to be chilly and overcast all week. Of course that is because the HS graduations (held outside) are this week...
Zimbo, you would love the MIM. You wear headphones as you walk around the galleries and they have hundreds of videos to watch and listen to. We go about once a month. John's piano is one of the centerpieces of their collection. (Which has everything. It's mind-boggling) On his birthday last year they had cupcakes!
They also have a concert hall. We're hoping to go to Mariachi Mystery Tour this summer. Yes. It is what the name implies. Beatles music by a mariachi band. Woo-hoo.
Dew - the MIM sounds fantastic, I would definitely love it. DH travels that way on occassion, I may have to travel with him and check it out.
Have any of you been to The Experience Music Project in Seattle? It's a music museum that's mainly dedicated to Jimi Hendrix, but they have added a section dedicated to Nirvana too. Anyway, fantastic place. They have this huge room full of instruments where you can just go and jam away. My kids love going there.

No, but sounds like my kind of place. The MIM aso has an experience room with instruments from all over. Including a HUGE Japanese gong some guy put a dent into. I like to go in when it's jammed with kids going nuts. Couple weeks ago I had them all putting their hands on the big gong to feel the vibration as they heard it. I think the guard probably had to take an aspirin that night but it was so cool. Next life I'm deinitely coming back as a drummer.
They have one whole exhibit of Fender guitars and amps. Which were made just a few miles from where I grew up. They've got one of Jimi's guitars. He's also got a spot in the room with John's piano, which also has Dick Dale, Eric Clapton, a vest and baton from Leonard Bernstein and a drum from the Beijing Olympics. One of the big ones from the opening ceremonies.
Plus you can get a very nice glass of wine in their cafe, lol.
Hi all! I'm back from a couple relaxing nights in the mountains, and still have the house to myself for the rest of the day. I am savoring this. Who knows when it will happen again. I wish the weather was better. I see there is a long thread to catch up on. Do I dare jump in?

Glad you had a good time. If you are all relaxed, then no, it's just all nasty crap anyway!
My husband came to me to show me he's getting fat. All of this inactivity from recovering is taking a toll on his waist line. He hates carrying a little extra weight because he's only 5'6".
I don't know why he came to me. He knows what he needs to do. He could go walking or bike riding. I told him I'd go with him.
I also told him that I wouldn't buy him bigger pants and he's not allowed to buy any for himself. He laughed. He knows that will be his downfall and agreed.
Guess we're going to start bike riding again soon!
Two girls down the street have opened up a sno cone stand. Your choice of cherry, grape or root beer for a mere 50 cents. I had the root beer. Quite refreshing and their business is really starting to pick up.
