First Day of Jr. High School


Taylor started Jr. High School this year! Wow, where does the time go? She will be taking a full load and the school is only a short distance from our home. An accomplished Pianist, Taylor is thinking about taking Trumpet in School Band. I dug out my old Old's Trumpet that was manufactured in 1959, before they rubber stamped them in a factory. I showed her how to blow the horn with the mouthpiece and then played a few old favorite "Herb Alpert and the TJ Brass songs, Reveille, and Taps. Puppy sang along and Jo Jo looked confused. Even Sandi was impressed and that's hard to do! Sandi didn't play in Band but was an All State girls Basketball player in California... We are going to let her try a flute and clarinet before we purchase an instrument. She is completely new at the school as she has been going to a Variance school in Elementary where she was a consistent "A" student.

It won't take long for her to make friends as she has that same Kinetic personality that her mother has. It's cool watching her take interest in so many things. We just don't want her to grow up too fast. It's particularly hard for me as everyday is precious to me now.

Can't wait to see her perform in concert!

I remember how much I enjoyed Jr. High and High school. We hope the same for her!
