I told my youngest he had a choice - he was welcome to go to school, or stay home with his brother & me. I didn't try to sway him one way or another, I answered his questions. After hearing, "You'll more than likely have to sit at a desk for a big...

Caren replied to Darcel's discussion 'Feeling like I can't do this anymore'
Don't suggest - DO. Don't ask - just start something. What do you want to do? Paint? Garden? Make a mud pit, like Meredith suggested? Just start. Let your inner 5-year-old out to play! Do something you find absolutely joyful, fun, and exciting, an...

Hi Caren,

Do you ever sell drums? I had a doumbek that was damaged and I've never learned hand drumming but I'd love it.
If you ever come across a good deal or sell one of your lovely drums, let me know. Are you doing some drumming at L&L? That would be awesome!
