I love this in so many ways, including every blade of grass in that lawn, every memory of that lawn concert and that chair I haven't seen in 20+ years!!!

Such a lovely post! Though I never learned to read music, our five children were blessed to have musical training. Homeschooling gave them enough time to play their instruments at leisure, and often together. We sang in church and around the table and in the car on long camping trips. Two of the daughters taught piano, one of them for decades.

What a good idea you had, to set up this conversation. Your daughters probably enjoyed thinking together with you about all the good things that contributed to your rich musical life and legacy. And I love that particular round, which our family also sang. Thank you! <3
