This summer Caitlin, Collin, and I learned how to play guitar. We were inspired by Coffey "southern man" http://www.coffeysouthernman.com/ , who is a self-taught guitarist and writes his own Christian music (he competed on "Nashville Star" this year). His YouTube videos offer inspiration as well as instruction for guitar newbies like us. We printed out the chords to his songs and started jamming!Both of my children have an uncanny ear for harmonies and quite a knack for songwriting. I am continually amazed at their gifts and am very blessed to be their Mama. Other than the occasional bit of sibling rivalry (who can outdo whom during jam sessions), we are having a lot of fun!
Collin "caught" his first fish this summer, with a little help from his daddy. He is a natural fisherman, apparently. Willie, Sr. (Uncle Willie's dad) taught Collin how to cast a line. He said that Collin looked as if he had done this all of his life. He has great form, or rhythm, or whatever lingo one uses to describe a good fisherman!
Here is Uncle Mike with Caitlin and Collin and the "catch of the day."
