Better Late Than Never.......

 I found the pictures of Brock's open house.  So I have decided to show a few. Brock said he was playing his guitar  for me. He is such a sweet young man.  Once I took him to the grave yard to put flowers on his grandpa Eddie's grave. He was about 9, he had a harmonica with him, so he played a tune for his grandpa at the cemetery. It touched my heart.
 Brock, Lynzie , and Emma.  I laugh at Emma, she is wearing the bridal shower dress that she was never going to wear again. :):)
 My twins, Karen standing and Liz sitting , talking together till I tell them to look at me. LOL.
 The young people playing a game of bean bag toss. Kids came and went the whole time. Some stayed longer. Friends and family were there to congratulate Brock and his class.
Matt in the checked shirt and his brother. Matt was raised on this property. He bought it and he and Liz are clearing areas. They have a lot of  ash trees.
 Hope you have a great day  .  xo

    1. B.Boy, Yes, he has two electric guitars. He had a few lessons when he was younger. But has taught himself a lot of other things on the guitar. You should do a post of your talent. xoxo,Susie

  7. Susie,
    That touched my heart when Brock played the harmonica for his Grandpa at the cemetery when he was 9 years old. I visit my dad at the cemetery sometimes,, so I think this is so special. Tell him to keep playing the guitar. It's such a talent. My son used to play but not so much any more.

    Have a wonderful week, Susie.

    love,
    ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, I think Brock will continue to play his guitar. He does everyday for a few minutes. I am thinking that Emma has stopped her piano lessons, she has not mentioned it for some time. That makes me sad. xoxo,Susie

  8. We need sweet young men. CC did not like piano for the longest time-then loved it in college. You just do't know when a good teacher will inspire a kiddo.

    1. I think I am going to keep track of how many times Emma actually wears that dress. LOL I think it makes her look older...but I am not telling her that, you know. Brock has always had a gentle heart. I pray nothing changes that. xoxo,Susie
