My parents have 2 More Sleeps before they return from visiting the SisterDears, Brothers, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, Grand Kids, Great-Grand Kids, etc. Hooray! Then they can return to spoil Gandalf and Grayson again - their feline Grand Kids!
Yesterday, after I finished up with all the projects that I could possibly manage to fit into a single day, I rested. I fed my cats and we had some snuggle time. I poured myself a nice glass of wine. The phone rang. It was MotherDear. She called so I could hear Dad and SisterDear3 playing the guitar together and singing some of Dad's old favorites. I do hope somebody video-ed it! They played about 6-8 songs while the phone receiver sat on the table and I listened like a fly on the wall! It was wonderful! Dad will be 80 this year and still has his voice!
That was such a wonderful moment for me! And I can't wait for them to come home! Guitar playing, Piano playing and Mother-Dear's cooking! Mmmmm.
I am a lucky woman!
Here's a video of Dad playing in the Garage this past May. Before Breakfast! I love it! Without further delay, I present...
Dad - Live from the Garage!
At the risk of making everyone groan, I'll be working one more day that may possibly involve Painting. As in the Garage. Yup! I'm on a roll... or I'm addicted. I can't decide!
Happy Sunday everyone!
9 friends stopped by:
When hubby's dad was alive and we had family get-togethers, he's get out his Les Paul and amp and hold garage concerts. Now his son-in-law and grandson entertains the crew. Those backyard concerts are great memories.
I love your dad! This REALLY makes me want to come back to GA to live.
I went to NC last week and spend an evening with my dad watching Lawrence Welk. It was great ... treasured memories.
Happy painting (I wish I could motivate myself to do some).
nice singing! i can't get a video that long to post...
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
That made me smile! Thanks so much for sharing it.
That is so cool that your dad is so active and that you get to share these moments with him.
I had a dream I was re-painting a restaurant last night... and I really am *not* a fan of painting!
Barb, they have "2 more sleeps" before they come home - that cracked me up! And tell your Dad I'll have to get him a gig at Carnegie Hall! LOL! :)
That is one thing I regret is not learning a musical instrument.
The video is priceless. When can we expect the CD?
A wonderful post! How fortunate you are to have your dad playing and singing like that. All such memories in the making!
My dad was a painter, and carried on painting even when he had glaucoma and was almost blind!
