You’re the first glockenshpiel player I’ve ever known!
Me too! I have heard of glockenshpiel – that’s about it! I am enjoying your 100 things, Michelle. You sound like a free spirit and an adventuresome soul!
Hey…51 and 58 don’t jive, Michelle. Once a glockenshpiel virtuoso, always a glockenshpiel virtuoso!
I’ll bet you could still ping out a version of “Little Drummer Boy” if you had to.
Well, I’m relearning Twinkle Twinkle on the piano now. Does that count as playing an instrument?
OMG. I came here to check you out because I (respectfully) disagreed with your posts today about the UN, but really liked your fiesty attitude. Now after reading the first 75 things about you… well…you have a new adoring fan! I want to make a 100 list too!!!!
Quesita,
Hi I’m so glad you came back to read.
Actually, three of us write on this blog. Sandra writes a lot about the UN and I’ve commented on her posts a bit…You might have read about Sandras feelings on the UN. (Or my comments?)
Nonetheless, WE ALL want readers and the world is full of people who don’t agree. We still want you to come and read and respectfully disagree and
comment! We can all learn from each other and besides, it makes for a more interesting blog if we aren’t just preaching to each other about
older parents and the like.
Sandra actually just did a 100 things. I have to go read it now!
