Where have I been!

Shame on me. I have not posted in quite some time. My life has been a roller coaster but I am back. I am still practicing on the cello. I wish I can give more time than I do. But I am still at it. I will never give it up. I cannot believe it has been over a year since I last posted. How is everyone doing? I see my teacher every 2 wks now. Cannot afford to go every week like I have been in the past. Are there any beginners out there? How are you coming along?
