Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Beth passed last night about 11:30 p.m. after a long illness. More later as we learn of any services.
Beth was a lot of fun and her energetic spirit will be missed.

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Matthew 5:4
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Tuesday morning had us playing at the Athens Farmers Market for Strawberry Day. Wednesday afternoon we played for 80 2nd graders at FAME Academy at Brookhill. Thursday was our regular jam. We finished out the week Friday afternoon at The Golden (formerly Traditions) playing for the senior adults there. Y’all probably need to take a break and rest up… and I know of no better way to relax than getting my dulcimore out again and playing some tunes. Here’s some photo’s highlighting out week (use your > key to advance slideshow):
