Welcome Cathleen!!!! I haven’t had a chance to get the group set up yet…. but in the next few days, should be a bit more organized. The group was just put on this evening. This photo brings back some wonderful images for me. My grandfather as a little girl, taught me to play the guitar and yet he couldn’t read music at all :-) This sure brought back some Happy Memories for me. Your photo is a wonderful addition to the Happy Haven Group.
