It is too cold to go outside. I think we might have a case of cabin fever. I have been taking things apart and coming up with fun new chores for love of my life. Last weekend I decided that he should finally hook up the killer speakers to the stereo. We have only had them for about eight years. I thought it was time. He said I would have to take everything off the entertainment center. Okay. I got out the ladder and I carefully removed all my elephants and other gee-gaws, all the while dusting and cleaning.I did my part and waited...... and waited. Then I started nagging very subtly, and when that didn't work I started nagging in earnest and not subtle at all. We had company, for heaven's sake and there were so many gee-gaws and family photos on the table we couldn't even have a meal. Finally he began. I helped him push the wires and such through and he got it hooked up.
He turned it on, put a CD on ....... country, at that. Did he let me put all the stuff away and clear the table? No. I didn't even get the ladder put away. All of a sudden the band was playing! Love of my life was a playin' the old wash board and Deb was a strummin' her guitar. The rest of us played audience and sang along.... well, I groaned a lot. Yeah, we got cabin fever. Fire up that wood stove, turn the radio on and break out the instruments. I suppose I could learn to play spoons....

Sounds like a lot of fun and a good way to pass the time when it is cold outside.
Harmonica.
Kathy - you just need to sing. And get a triangle. Or a tambourine.
Although I think triangle would really just round out that group.

Awesome. The geegaws will go back tomorrow, but tonight sounds sweet.
If you can't have fun with a washboard, what Can you have fun with?
You could always play the pots and pans. :-)

Sounds like fun to me!
Where are the jug players? And the fiddle?
I actually would not mind a little bit of cabin fever. I could get so much accomplished writing just being stuck home. I also have items and gadgets that I have had for years and never hooked up!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! As for an instrument I suggest the good old Kazoo. Everyone can play that one ;o)
a little cabin fever is never bad...if the band breaks out, just raise your lighter and sing. smiles.
Ha ha ha! We have cabin fever here, too, but not that bad -- yet!
haha Spoons are fun, and good.
Nothing like some impromptu fun! The only thing we ever did we spoons is try to hang them from our noses! LOL!
