Nothing exciting. Nothing to write about. Life goes on. Most folks would be bored.

Sophie’s my companion (thank heavens I have her). Very few guests.

Yes, I have more than enough meetings in my role as President of Nantucket V, and every eight days I’m at the SCC Emergency Squad, but that’s about it. The rest of the time, I watch TV or NetFlix. I fix decent meals for myself and occasionally I grocery shop. That’s about it.

I need to get myself going and not waste my life. I like dances, euchre and even bingo. Why am I missing those thing?

Just wish I had a gentleman to do stuff with. I’ve crossed Ken off my list. He’s ignored me for too long. No one else in my field of vision, but I know they’re not going to find me when I’m in my condo for days on end.

I vow that I’ll go to dances, I’ll go to the Sportsman’s Club next Wednesday. Naybe I’ll even go to the pool.

Recently I signed up for a couple music classes at the QuaranTUNE Dulcimer Festival. On Friday, October 7th, I’ll take one from Guy George on basic penny whistle and on Saturday, the 8th, I’ll take one from Katie Mortz to start me on the hammered dulcimer. I know I have forgotten everything I ever knew.

Before the classes, I need to tune up the hammered dulcimer. I finally found my dulcimer stand in the back of the guestroom closet, I’ve located a tuner, and I’ve put in new batteries).

I have hammers and I found a music stand. Little by little I’m pulling together what I’ll need.

I’ve ordered a starter book for the whistle which should arrive today.

I’m trying to decide if I should set up in the guest room (which isn’t used at all) or the great room or the dining room? I’m leaning toward the corner of the great room (at least to start with) since I won’t feel “isolated” and I’ll probably practice more. It’s a cooler temperature, there’s a suitable chair in the corner I’ll use and there’s abundant light.

It’s taking more prep than I realized. I like the looks of the dulcimer in the living room. It inspires me.
