Good for you, though I must say, I always pictured you a having blond hair, for some reason.

Some libraries let you check them out. Then they have a program for them to get together and play. I'm glad you enjoyed something fun @SandySparkles.

@SandySparkles - At least you got to play one song! I took hula dancing lessons when I was young and I can still remember ONE dance. I'll come over, you can play, and I will dance!

You are beautiful inside and out!

THANK you ladies SO much!🥰 I appreciate your kind words! Just seeing them when I signed on touched my heart ever so much more than you can possibly know today!!❤️

I was at my youngest daughter's house in Costa Rica when she lived on the Caribbean side and it was just TOO HOT and HUMID for me to want to sit on the beach that day!🔥 She had been playing it, and saw that I was quite bored so she handed over her ukulele and suggested that I try! I am glad she did because I really had a GREAT time over several days but was also also frustrated because it took me AWHILE! because of my cognitive issues!😄 She snapped the photo to send to my daughters in the states as PROOF, because they know it is NOT typically something I would have enjoyed back then!🥰 I gave up after learning a short song but the memory still makes me smile!😊

I am glad you like the hair but it is not all mine! I have 2 autoimmune disorders that cause thinning hair, and or loss, so I use hair pieces, or wigs for fullness! The big brown eyes ARE mine!😂

You guys have NO idea just how much you lifted my spirits today, and I THANK you from the top and bottom of my heart!❤️

ETA: I recently posted a photo of my nursing school graduation ago, and me standing in front of a car in the thread "Back in the day" . That was my full hair.😊

Have a GREAT evening!🤗

@SandySparkles This is so interesting because I have thought of learning to play the ukulele when I retire, but I am not musical. How hard is it??
