What a beautiful Morning for a Walk/jog

My alarm set off at 6am this morning. I was determined to walk/jog. I left the house at 6:30, grabbed the Dog's leashes, started to walk/jog. The sky was overcast, it was cool, and was raining up in the mountians. It felt wonderful, I took a jacket just in case it rained.

I stopped at the top of the hill, and could see the valley below, and took this picture, I wanted to take more picture, but unfortunately, my camera was low on batteries, DARN!

But here I am walking with the dogs going down the hill. I use to be affraid of this hill, cause I couldn't get up it last year, But this year I can! YEA! My toes on my right foot goes numb on my way back, but I get through it! I wore 2 pairs of socks to comfort my feet so my calises don't burn at the end of my walk.

I want to get together with who of my family will go hike with me up Timpanogus cave, this summer, when we get to together for the next family party, that would be cool. That's one of my goals this summer! Who's up for it?

Morgan my valient student

Here I am with Morgan, he is my second student, his father is in the Bishopric. I am teaching his sister's daughter. He is finishing level 2 in the Piano Aventure Books. He is learning scales and chords, and he wants to learn to play Detroit City, from Mel Tills. It is a harder peace for him but he want to learn it, so I will, it will be his recital peace when I have a recital set up.

His mother, sister, and nieces are in the primary with me, so I enjoy the kids.

I only have 2 students right now so hopefully I will get more.

I am having fun teaching them, and remembering things I have learned that I have forgotten.

Our Cat Patches and her 4 babies

Here is our cat Patches, she had 4 babies, Friday June 10th. Three orange ones and one white one, who knows the white one maybe like her mother. We set her up in a truck camper shell that is on a flat bed trailer. So she could have her babies, and we could know where they are. The last cat had her babies under one of the sheds, and had to cut a hole in the floor of the shed to get the babies out. Our fluffy disappeared, don't know what happened there. They usually run away and never come back. They are so cute, and she is a good mother.

My first Piano Student

Here I am with my very first piano student, she six, and her mother called me and asked if I taught piano. At the time I was not. But I opened that door to earn more income.

So I had fun teaching her piano, her mother and her other 3 siblings stayed and watched, her smaller sister stood by her watching. As soon as she learns the abc's she will be next.

Then the next hour her uncle came, and I am teaching him, He is a teenager, and started where he ended last October. He forgot some, so I had to remind him so of the stuff he forgot.

So I started with the right hand, so he could remember his notes. He was fun to teach, he wanted to learn a certian song, in a Reader Digest song book. So he looked it up, and started him on the right hand there also, so he could remember what notes went to the keys. I put little cards at the stores and I had another call to teach another 6 year old. Depends on where they live, I think  the parents can stay and watch.

I like one on one with the kids.  You get to know them better. It was a great feeling!

I went on a 2 hour walk today, I walked to the neola highway. It is a 2 mile walk. The road with the dip. I walked the dip, but I made it! I use to be scared of hills, but now I know  I can climb them with hardly no problem.  Doug got on my pedals for five minutes. YEA! Doug finally sold our old blue truck today! Now he has some money, it made him a little more happy.  Doug sure is in alot of pain. He is not a Happy Camper.
