We had a crowd yesterday for the afternoon walk and tapas, a full table so to speak. Most of the folks were our dear locals thawing out from the long winter. But Sheena came, one of my dear nurses with her husband and two friends from the mainland. We were having way too much fun and then that foursome broke out their ukuleles and serenaded us with tunes. One of those magical moments.
We were so inspired that we ordered two ukuleles, a song book and a tuner online last night after the party was over. We are in the game!
Let’s see what Annie’s quotes are up to today. And Day 23 says,
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust.
New ways to see and understand are what we are after after all. Our inner pilgrimage is that very thing. It is that thing that at some point in our lives becomes the path or the real path for us. It seems sort of simple as I describe it here but in reality it is rather a thorny challenge.
Walking in a moment here at the ranch. It will be quiet after all the hoopla yesterday. As always love, Felipé.
Dang. Missed the festivities but got some homework done.
I was a member of the Vashon Ukelele Society until I started school up again. Will give you some local resources if no one has indoctrinated you yet. Cheers.
Jessika ~ OK, we’re on board. Hope there is an end to your homework. Felipé.x

Raven Ranch Ukelele Society (what do you think of that? We could have a workshop during the August (impressive and respected) August (month) Raven Ranch Fiesta and Siesta.
Jessika ~ I think that you are on to something. I also heard that there is some kind of ukulele club that meets at Swedish on Wednesday’s when I will be there. Felipé.x
How fun! “The quiet contemplation after all the hoopla”….that’s where it really begins!
Love you all!
