Never too old to learn something new!

I am of the opinion that you are never too old (or to young) to learn something new. I taught myself to knit and crochet within the last 3 years. I taught my 70 something mother-in-law how to knit socks. I taught my 8 year old to knit (and purl only yesterday!)

I have now decided it is time to do something I've always wanted to do - learn to play the violin! I started looking at violins and learn to play violin books online a couple of months ago. Then yesterday I met a violin teacher. He teaches lessons at the same place and time that my boys are in band. Another mom (whose daughters take lessons from him) and I were talking to him and I just decided to ask him about lessons. He said he has no problem teaching adults and he had a space for me. He gave me his phone number and email. So today Greg and I went to rent a violin. We decided to rent first but I foresee purchasing one in the near future. I just emailed the teacher and I hope to start lessons on Monday. I am so excited! I play the flute and piano already and can read music. But a string instrument will be something completely different. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
