She tried the honey fried squid.<\/p>\n<p>I tried one.  I went &#8220;hmmm.&#8221; Rather than &#8220;MMMM!&#8221;  All those tiny tentacles. . . <\/p>\n<p>I sure liked my Thai Fried Rice better.<\/p>\n<p>Then we went to the city of Stone Mountain for their Bluegrass Festival.  I  also wanted to take her to the antique store that I like over there.<\/p>\n<p>We had fun looking for interesting things.  I bought a Japanese sword that was over 150 years old as well as a Fraternal sword that I thought was cool.  Groovy!  <\/p>\n<p>You can never have too many sharp pointy objects lying around.<\/p>\n<p>We checked out the Blue Grass music.  Great!  As is usual for me, I get involved!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com\/Teams2011\/Foothillsl-Community-Church-H\/i-d8BCdVd\/0\/S\/IMG4495-S.jpg\" alt=\"t\" \/><br \/>\nI have always wanted to play a stand up string base.

This song&#8217;s in G.&#8221;  I have never played a fretless intrument in my life.  Much less one bigger than me!  But I&#8217;ve played guitar for thousands of hours.  I figured, &#8220;How different can it be?&#8221;  So I grabbed it, figured out where the notes where and ROCKED!<br \/>\nhttpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=irAThTEQxhg<br \/>\nHad a lot of fun encouraging the group to &#8220;GO for it, baby!&#8221;  As well as the crowd to clap and sing along.<\/p>\n<p>What a hoot.<\/p>\n<p>But my thumb and middle fingers on my right hand have big ol&#8217; blisters on them now.  No pain, no gain.<\/p>\n<p>Came home and enjoyed some time with Jesse.  Just been working on my admin duties.<\/p>\n<p>I just heard the blower so I know that Kathy is home now.
