Memory

Today I am smiling because of a very special memory.  Early this last fall, we had a couple of guests stay with us and visit the Bay Area.  One friend is from Austria and the other from the Isle of Man, both of them, a long way from home.

We were quite pleased to have them visit; they had a place to stay and good food to enjoy.  What they gave us in return were some really great memories.

One evening while they were here, we had a family sing-a-long.  Our friend from the Isle of Man is an accomplished guitarist and he played nearly every song we requested.  He sang with all his heart and played with all his being.  We sat there for three wonderful hours listening, singing, mesmerized by the talent, the fun, and the generous gift that is music.

It’s been a long time since they were here and yet those sweet memories continue to make me smile!

    Reading your post brought back those happy memories to me also and made me smile.

    I hope we can share time like that together again some day.
