I have a few things planned for the first non-work month - keeping more than busy!
As it happens, the local Hospice Society is doing training for volunteers the second week of April, and this is a once a year thing in our small town. So I will be spending 2 weekends in training. In between I am traveling with my less-senior sister and more-senior Mom to the Senior Chorfest in Kelowna. It should be a lot of fun to sing with 200 other older choristers!
A couple of weeks ago I picked up my latest musical undertaking - a bass viola da gamba. It is sort of like the two instruments I already play a bit - cello and upright bass. However, the 6 strings and frets and having it tuned with a 3rd in the middle (like a guitar) makes it a bit challenging. Luckily come April I will have lots of time to figure it out.
If I get good enough quickly enough, there is a Conclave (gathering) in Oregon this summer. I would love to go!
