Loads of laughs and we've had a couple of "jam" sessions with much better guitarists than what we are where we get to play the "background" while the clever person does the fancy bits - makes us feel much more accomplished than what we are!

And I love your 4 points -- if only we understood life wouldn't always be as fraught as when we were 16 (thank heavens!) and realised how resilient we actually were then maybe we'd have learned to relax a bit more. Gorgeous letter! <br /><br />P.S. And I love that you and your DH took up the guitar together -- what fun!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-12761884380115236012014-10-01T18:49:30.009+10:002014-10-01T18:49:30.009+10:00Hi Sharon

I confess the curls weren't natural - I'd have loved to have naturally curly hair... though I say that and friends with naturally curly hair seemed to lust over straight hair!

That pic is actually from a high school formal - I was surprised to realise I have very very few pics of me around that age because I was almost always the one wielding the camera! Such a great place to hide - behind a camera. ;)Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-32858359381054763182014-10-01T08:33:52.790+10:002014-10-01T08:33:52.790+10:00Sob!
