Hey, hey, we're the Monkeys...

Here we come,
Walkin' down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkeys...

(Anybody? Is there anyone out there who remembers this song?)

Let the lessons begin.

Violin has started back up after a short 3-week summer break. Here are the kids as I see them each week going to their lessons--all lined up walking, usually quite briskly since somehow--even though we only live a few houses away from their teacher--we're always running a little late!

The sweet lady in this picture with the kids is the one who gave me her antique violin...and helpful gear...and books...and videos!
