As requested at our most recent meeting of the Brooksby Ukulele Club, I've changed the permissions for our club website so that anyone with the link can view it.

So, here is the link:

https://sites.google.com/site/brooksbyukuleleclub

It's not the most interesting site there ever was, but it serves its purpose.

Love,
Jess

It's Been a While

Thought I'd post something new here!

We have loved visiting Grandma and Grandpa. I love chatting with them and then we have the bonus of swimming too!

Saturday's Acoustic Night

I meant to put this on my personal blog, but in my haste accidentally put it here. To avoid confusion about disappearing posts that are no longer available, I decided to leave it up. You are welcome.

To celebrate all things ukulele and acoustic music in general, I invited a bunch of people over to my house Saturday evening for an acoustic night. What I thought it would be and what it ended up being were two different things, but it turned out 10 times more fun and awesome than I could have anticipated. Instead of going around in a circle and people playing one song at a time, we hooked up the laptop to the TV and surfed the internet for chords for songs, then played along as we all sang. Lisa Loeb, Dixie Chicks, Weezer, The Darkness, whatever came to mind. It was kinda like play-it-yourself karaoke. Then we proceeded to create our own songs about Nachos, Nacho (a different kind), Ikea, and various ladies in the room. One of the best parts = We recorded the silly songs we made up. Wanna listen?

So much fun. I can't wait till next time. (Ben and Me on Ukulele. And Ben also brought his saw)

Christmas Party

Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas party was very fun this year. The kids enjoyed the bouncey house. And I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed the food and the company.

I know I saw others taking pictures, please post a few!

Some played games

The kids colored, jumped and played with the puppy.

Happy Birthday!

Grandma and Grandpa are so special! And I think it's so great that they get to share their special day with each other! We love them so much!

Grandma is such a strong woman, she is so encouraging and kind. She makes me feel so loved and I can feel that she loves and cares about me so much. She has the ability to make me feel so special and important, almost like I'm the favorite... but I know she does it to all!

Grandpa is so gentle, hard working, kind, and giving. He is always giving and serving and is so fun with the kids. He serves me every time I come over by entertaining the kids so Grandma and I can talk.
