Very nice surprise

 We had a nice visit with Rebeca and Jason and Scotty these last 3 days.  They were only going to be in town two nights but a light came on in the car - something about a low battery in their remote key - so they thought it'd be best to get that taken care of.  The bonus for us is that they stayed an extra day!

The first evening, they met me at Mom's house.  Because the covid cases are high and going up, we thought it'd be best to just say hello at the door.  They did slip just inside the door to get a picture or two in.

The next day, they had breakfast with us - and lunch - and then they left to spend sometime at Aquatica, which is the water park section of Sea World.  Unfortunately, some storms came up after they had been there only a couple of hours so they had to take shelter and then the park was closed.

The day after that was the bonus day.  They decided to try Aquatica again, after getting the battery in their key remote replaced.  Same thing happened at Aquatica.  Storms came up.  But this time, they were able to resume their activities.

So, it's their last day here and we are back home after saying bye to them.  The house always seem so extra quiet and sad after either one of those boys go home.

Moonlight Sonata

 Just posting that I finished learning how to play Moonlight Sonata again.  I actually finished learning the whole thing back in April.  Using a tutorial on Youtube made it easy.  But it really made me aware of how much patience my friend had to have had back in 1972 or 1973 to sit with me everyday and teach me just a little more of the piece.  I see now that was obviously not an easy thing to do.  But I still remember sitting with her at the piano in the Catholic Student Center at SAC and we actually both had a lot of fun.  I guess being younger made it a lot easier to pick up.
