My band director had submitted my name for it, even though I really was not all that interested in it. I was also madly in love with my future husband (true story), and we had already made plans for spending a lot of time together that summer since he had just completed his freshman year at college. I was NOT interested in going away to a summer camp!<br /><br />LONG story made much shorter, my parents insisted that I go to take advantage of the opportunity to learn what it was like to be involved in classes very similar to college classes. <br /><br />We had to choose a major and minor field which gave me the chance to fully explore music and music education, being totally immersed in the subject. It opened my eyes to music education as a career in ways I had not yet considered, and I had a marvelous time that still puts a smile on my face forty-one years later. <br /><br />And, yes, I'm still doing what I loved back then - teaching music. :-)Merri Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714544727417145161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-89762999958964596282014-06-25T23:55:07.042-04:002014-06-25T23:55:07.042-04:00Sounds like an amazing trip, Grace.

Purchased a cassette there that just set the mood for my trip - Broadsword Jethro Tull. Couldn't get it out of mind for ever! I bought a piece of property there to camp on and I'm looking forward to it. I'll lend it to you next time you go - it's in the highlands in Glencoe. I'm a Lady I can do that! As far as eating, I had the most fantastic salmon and haggis and actually liked it. And we had a Scottish soap opera star for our bus guide. What a wonderful experience. Hope this trip spurs a whole new series!

The west of Scotland was settled by the Irish nearly 2000 years ago, hence the similarity of language, and there are parts of Ireland where the kilt is worn.

Sometimes we get snowed in during the winter, and my favorite, favorite days are when the governor declares a state of emergency so I know the courts and Department of Social Services are CLOSED and I couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to--which I do not. I'm not proud of this, but it surely helps get the books written.
