Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise You. -Psalm 63:3

Just a typical Sunday afternoon . . .

Yesterday after church, Anna, Andrew (my little brother) and I all went over to Me-mama and D-daddy's house. That sentence probably made absolutely no sense to you at all if you don't know them. Our friends the Sheppards have grandparents (aka Me-mama and D-daddy) who live very close to us. This is a picture of Taylor and Cody, the two oldest kids of the family:


Anyways, we sometimes meet them at their grandparent's house for lunch on Sunday afternoons. This time we had a very lovely and very Southern lunch consisting of pork and gravy, rice, butter beans, broccoli, and some pineapple casserole that was, quite literally, the bomb. Oh yeah, and some buttered Italian bread on the side.



After our delicious lunch, Anna, Taylor, and I decided to work on their song (they are performing in church sometime soon). Taylor played her guitar and sang, and Anna played her violin. I just sat there and helped them figure out the melody. :)
It was really fun! They played around a bit (we tend to digress from time to time) and we came up with an alternate version of a Tay Swift song. We call it "We Belong With Thee," a more "spiritualized" version. :)
Unfortunately, I didn't get a recording of that song, but I did make a video of Anna and Taylor doing a song called "Next To Me" by Sleeping at Last. It's a really good song. And they're really good singers/ukulele players (as you can see from the video).



In case you're interested, here is the original version:




Personally, I like Taylor and Anna's version better.



But that's just me.




P.S. "Ukulele" is probably the best word ever. God bless the person who invented that instrument.
