So much is happening that updating the blog has fallen off my radar.

This week, we have overseas friends visiting and staying with us. They are the first of three groups who will be using HX as their base while here on holiday.

Having someone else interact with the girls is awesome because it brings out a different side of their personalities, gets them used to playing host and caring for others, and of course it gives me a chance to do my own stuff.

Sunday highlight - the drummer and I were the only musos, and I had to step up and own my situation 100%, not hide behind the lead guitarist like I normally do. Those moments when I felt truly in the zone, like the Holy Spirit was making the music flow through my fingers was ... just ... humbling. And joyful.

Another highlight - Beth taking her Yamaha Grade 10 exam and getting mostly As and one B+ (for accompaniment/improvisation). Was surprised she played as well as she did, considering how little she practises. Commented to hubby that maybe Beth is one of those who performs best under pressure.
