Violin

When we were in K.C., we were given a violin (that had been in the shop for repairs) to bring back for nephew Ned.  Since it rained today and more is on the way, we decided to make a quick trip to C-U to make the delivery.  We didn't learn what the value of it was until after the delivery or we may have been a little worried about transporting it!  It was hand built in Germany in the 1920's.

We took Ned out to eat at Zsa's, and then drove to St. Joe to nephew Neal's to pick up some feed mill parts that he had brought back from Indiana for us a few weeks back. Neal gave us a quick tour of their house and we got to see all the kids ( he was babysitting).  The orange "Illini" garage was a highlight!  Then we headed back to Urbana to drop Ned off at Brown House and then headed back home.

It was a nice little outing for the old farmer and his wife.

That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
