Booked dental surgery

Well the dentists agreed, the tooth has to go. Will have the surgery Aug. 15th. They both said I do not have a choice. One less tooth. A nice lunch with friends and then a nice nap. Working on getting the word out on the library seminars that I will be doing. I am doing three programs at three different libraries.

Fancy Nancy Says: Libraries offer wonderful programs, free!

A nice day in Conn. trying to find a Rebox show outlet. Finally found it and then had a lovely dinner in Mystic. Tomorrow is dentist day again. Will learn more if I have to lose a tooth. My authors program will run in Aug. so now I am doing the publicity for it.

Fancy Nancy Says: I just got booked to play the uke--My new hobby.

Dental Problems Can Keep Me Busy

Today I consulted with a dental surgeon. At some point I will have to have one or two teeeth pulled. Right now they have me on an antibiotic. Since the tooth is under a bridge, two dentists will be involved. My teeth are my real diamonds. All my money goes into them.

Fancy Nancy Says: My kids are grown up, but my teeth seem to keep me busy. Take care of your teeth.

Working on Teeth, Seminars, and Writing Programs

This week I am trying to deal with a tooth problem so the dentist just put me on an antibiotic. Hope it works. Also, I am enjoying several programs I am taking and in Aug. and Sept. I will be presenting programs for three different libraries. I find that the libraries offer some wonderful programs for the public and the are all free.

Fancy Nancy Says: Take advantage of your library free programs.

Learning to Play the Uke

Had another lesson today and my daughter is an excellent teacher with lots of patience. I am enjoying learning to play the uke. Lots of fun songs once you know the basic chords.

Fancy Nancy Says: Try something new.

A Uke Presentation

Today I played for my first uke audience. I take a writing class and we were to tell what we did this summer. I bought a ukulele and my daughter has been giving me lessons. I was very brave and played one song for my writing class and they sang with me and applauded at the end. It was fun and I am enjoying a new toy.

Fancy Nancy Says: Try something new. Why not!

Hearing Workshop

Did a hearing workshop at the library today. 14 attended. I thought it went well. We always want a larger crowd, but it was a rainy day. I enjoy doing library programs. I am booked with three different libraries this summer and some in Florida in the spring.

Fancy Nancy Says: I still love to do programs and teach. Why not!

Fun Interview with a Former Student

I had a library interview today and I was delighted to renew time with a former student now the librarian. When you teach for a while you meet some lovely students. It is often hard to remember all their names. They somehow remember you.
Fancy Nancy Says: That is the fun part of teaching. You meet such nice students.

Writing Class, Exercise and Even the Dentist

Today was a full day, but fun. Went to my writing class and then my exercise class. Met a lovely woman and we chatted as we exercised. I was amazed to learn that she will be located this winter in Florida not far from us.. I am sure we will connect there . Her husband plays tennis with my partner as well.

Fancy Nancy Says: It really is a small world

Fun Uke Class

Tonight we attended a fun uke class. It was interesting to hear some of the students perform. This was just the second class, but the performers were not beginners. I can now perform two songs. I find the fingering tough, but I am doing better.

Fancy Nancy Says: It is good for your brain to try to learn something brand new. A challenge!

My Second Uke Lesson

My daughter is such a patient teacher. I now know how my students feel when they are new at a project. I will go on Wed. to their uke workshop to be held at the local library. They are really promoting the program and probably 50 will arive. My daughter is a wonderful support system for he husband. He is lucky to have her in his life.

Fancy Nancy Says: Everyone needs a daughter!

Learning the Uke

My daughter gave me my first uke lesson. Strumming is okay, but doing the chords can be a problem. My fingers don't want to go where they are supposed to go. Tonight I watched some free videos on playing the uke. The only song I could play is Frere Jacques since all I have to do is sturm the C chord.

Fancy Nancy Says: It takes work and concentration to learn a new insturment.

Booked a Family Party

Just booked a family party for our Early Thanksgiving. Since we are all at different places in Nov. we celebrate the holiday much earlier. Why not. The important part is for everyone to get together. I look forward to family parties.

Fancy Nancy Says: Change the holiday dates if you have to.
