Cedar Rapids Trip
 Picture_1401.JPGAt New Horizon's band rehearsal. This is a national organization that has bands in cities all across America of people 50 years old or more, combining their skills at instrument-playing to play local community concerts. This band had about 35 musicians, of which Luman and Sharon are 2 of. |
 Picture_1403.JPGSharon looking for the next music sheet. She hasn't played Clarinet since high school until 3 years ago when they got involved with this group. |
 Picture_1398.JPGLuman on his French Horn. He was in the same boat as Sharon - not playing since high school although he taught high school band students for many years. |

 Picture_1396.JPGSteeple from the church on that campus. I have quite a few pictures of churches from this trip. They just looked different than what I'm used to in the parts of the country I've either lived or now live in. |
 Picture_1394.JPGThe indoor tennis courts, 6 courts in all. |
 Picture_1393.JPGSharon & Luman during the first set. They play in a weekly seniors' tennis league. I sat and watched them play 3 sets of tennis, non-stop - 2 hours in all. Wow, was I exhausted, just watching them!!! :)
