Don't Fret, Ruby!

Ruby has taken the fretting out of playing music...just for this week, though.  She has a solo coming up in orchestra, so she has been playing the violin a LOT, even if some of it was while reclining on the couch.  She says guitar is so much easier because of the frets.  You can't be out of tune on the guitar like you can on the violin!  But don't fret, Ruby.  At least when you play the fiddle.  Ha ha.  Don't you just love musician humor?

We have another reason not to fret today, too.  Ruby went to the knee doctor this morning (Pepper Murray, for those knee aficionados in the area) and he gave her the go-ahead to dance without worrying about what could be wrong with the knee.  Basically, it is still healing from the original injury, but the x-rays looked a lot better than they did three weeks ago.  In the first x-rays, Ruby's kneecap looked like it was floating in space, far, far away from the rest of her body.  Now it is settling back into its groove, so Ruby can too.  Ballet after school today!  Yippee!

So don't fret about anything, Ruby.  Not today!  Until you practice guitar, anyway.  Then you can "fret" all you want!
