good to hear from you Brenda..!

Hello Brenda: i just read your post and was touched by your health struggles. I fully understand how something as simple as a mountain dulcimer can be a wonderful source of strength and peace during stressful times. Music and especially the dulcimer is healing. prayers bill

Hi, Brenda! Your cats are absolutely adorable, and I think the names Basket and Boo Boo fit them well! I've always been a cat person. I always had one growing up. The one that I was the closest to was Tabby whom I had from the time I was ten years old until I was 23 and she passed away. I miss her a lot. I would love to have a cat now, but my landlords said we can have any pet we want. . . .except for a cat. Fortunately my dulcimer teacher has four cats and I get a lot of loving from them when I go over for my lessons! I have to admit, though, It's hard to play a dulcimer when there's a cat on my lap!!

Brenda,

Thank you for the info about the gathering in May-- don't know whether I'll make it this year or not but it sounds like a really fun time!
