Steam bending the sides in the kitchen.Hannah picked up my Uke yesterday and it turns out she knows how to play. I know she can play the guitar, but I was surprised to hear that she can play the ukulele with more of a Hawaiian sound. She says lots of kids at school play the ukulele, and it is not uncommon to see (and hear) local kids playing while walking between classes.
I am going to start a beginning ukulele class this Thursday night. I'm a little nervous.
I had a great run this morning. 6 miles. I ran six miles last Saturday down on Hickam AFB and thought I was going to die on the last mile. Today I ran from our house up toward Kole Kole Pass. The first 3 miles slightly up hill. Then down hill all the way home. I did not feel like I was going to die. That's improvement!
We watched City of Ember last night for movie night. Sydney and I recently read the book. The book was really good. I liked the look of the city in the movie, but I fell asleep before it ended, so I'm not sure how it all worked out.
I always fall asleep during family movie night. Reminds me of my dad. Snoring away during the movie....

Wow Wendy, way to go on the 6 mile run! Uke class sounds fun! Don't be nervous. :o)
I love playing on my uke, although I don't get the chance as often as I would like. A class would probably help me a lot. And it's not a special, hand-made custom job, either - I'm jealous!
We also watched City of Ember last night for movie night. I enjoyed it. We finished the book not long ago, and I think they did a good job with the movie. Except for the big bugs and the giant mole - what was up with that?
It's cool Nate is making another uke. Is that so you won't have to share? Good luck with the classes, will they be with a group? It will be fun!
I love the book City of Ember (did I read it at your house?) so maybe we'll need to check the movie out. I love that I'm not the only one turning into dad when it comes to movies - I just can't help it!
Great job on the long run! See ya sista!
Don - we were wondering the same thing - that Mole was creepy!
Mary - I think you did read it at our house. The ukulele class a "community education" class offered at the high school on Thursday nights for 6 weeks. It is a group class. If I like it, I can go on and do 6 more weeks of "advanced".
The ukulele class sounds so fun!
And congrats on the 6 miles!
i always fall asleep, always...it's sad.
I want to be able to run 6 miles like you, I am half way there!
I have not heard of City of Ember. Will have to check it out. Like you I found my self falling asleep while we watched TV the other night. Hubby sent me to bed!
Hey wendy I fall asleep watching movies too - it must be a family trait. Also good luck in your class it sounds fun.
