Frothy Monkey Coffeehouse

3/5/2011

16 Comments

 
Tonight my daughter went to the Frothy Monkey Coffeehouse to see some of her friends playing music. What wholesome fun! When I was her age (13), my family would go hang out at The Second Touch christian coffeehouse on the square in Columbia, TN. It was a safe place, and fun. They had lots of Christian music, a "house band" and Amy Grant even came once (but that was just before we started going regularly). Kids SO need good things to do with their time, and playing music is a "good thing", as is listening to it! It was a little loud, up close, but off to the side was good. My 2 1/2 year old has been playing with her older brother's old "First Act" drum set (minus the bass drum pedal, which I have misplaced), and it was nice to see how drums are really supposed to be played! I also loved the Bemis Next Step toilet seat in the Frothy Monkey's bathroom---so very cool and Dilara used it with the "child seat" in place.  I want one for home SO BAD--she doesn't like her potty much. Looks like they are around $35-40, so I guess we'll do without.

it sounds like you all have fun. did you stay at the coffeehouse? send me photo of dilara playing the drums. is noah still playing the cello? i have been going to gym to do water exercises and to swim several times a week. i swam 7 laps yesterday. also 7, i was about 4 feet from the side of pool for the 7th so i counted it. i walked the rest of the way in the water. i had gotten down to 200lb. now back up to 204. probably eatting too many girl scout cookies. i should just make a donation and not bring the temptation home. i hardly ever buy cookies but will buy 6 when the girl scouts have their tables by stores. no self control!

I dropped Callie off, went and picked up Dilara, then went back to the coffeehouse.
You sound like me--struggling within the same 5 pound range. I read that people with fibromyalgia gain an average of 32 lbs. I believe, though, that it is not impossible for me to lose weight. I'd be so delighted if I could lose 30 lbs.

Oh, Noah no longer has a cello to play. David paid about $1,000 in rent (I think he was exaggerating--I think it was probably more like $700) and the strings teacher got cut and he's taking P.E. this year. He NEEDS to be taking some instumental music. The used music store had a cello, case and bow for $349. I don't know why David didn't buy a student cello in the first place. He was thinkig a decent cello would be $2 or 3 thousand dollars, I think and didn't want to lose the investment if Noah lost interest. I will strongly encourage him to do orchestra in high school, but David isn't going to want to get him his own instrument, I think.

i do not know how my parents managed to get a piano and pay for piano anc voice lessons. i am glad they did as i enjoyed both. i think that singing helped with my shyness and self-concept.

i did not know that rental was that much! that is an awful large amount of money. purchasing a musical instrument when you do not know how much interest your child will have in it is a hard decision when you do not have much money for it.
