Staying Busy



 
.


Well it has been busy and I have had the chance to do a lot of playing, picking grinning and singing this past week, and I have enjoyed myself.
.

.
Karl and I had to cover the Carthage Area Hospital Skilled Nursing Unit by ourselves, Mark had Military Duty and Travis had to work, this is Mark's Mnistry and he has been doing it over 20 years and it is a pleasure to cover for him or join him.
.

.
We went to Angels Inn and played for the adult residents there and was joined by Dennis and Karl.   Karl recently lost his wife due to Brain Cancer, he came up for the services and we had him come join us as he has played with either Mark or Friends of God before and it did him good to get out and relax.
.

.
Peggy joined us in singing a few songs.
.

.
Roger and I were trying to have the residents vote on who had the most hair.
.

.
We closed out the evening with Peggy singing "On My Mothers Side".
.

.
The cartoon above describes me.

Peggy was able to join us.
.

.
We had a "Great" turn out when we went to play at Meadowbrook Assisted Living, above is Karl, Mark, his son Travis, Roger, John Baldwin who is a Music Teacher and has been in many bands and myself, the reason we don't all have instruments is too many guitars make it sound terrible when all are played.
.

.
I did a solo of "Mercy" which is one of my favorites and the residents enjoyed it also.
.


We closed out with Mark and Karl doing "Amazing Grace".
.
 
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
