My "Uke"

Hi all! sorry about my disappearance, me and the Uke have been under the weather all week, and thus my blog suffered. I'm back now though!!!



Anyways, you all may wonder why I refer to my husband as "uke"....let me tell you the real story behind this.... My Hawaiian husband has always played the ukulele. Every once in awhile in college he'd break it out to impress the ladies..i.e. me, or he play a bit for his friends, pretty much just goof off. However, as of late, the Ukulele has become a staple in our house. Every afternoon when he comes home he likes to unwind with a little ukulele playing. The first week I was back, I found it peaceful...it was so nice to have background music in the house. Not to mention we had a little piece of Hawaii in our very own home... the next week I felt the same, however, I had the Uke stay down stairs...as I couldnt really concentrate with the same line "menehune beach bom boogie...menehune boogie woogie" being played over and over and over again...the next week we did not like being apart from one another...so I let him grace me and champ in the living room again. I figured if you can't beat'em-join 'em..so I began to sing the lyrics for my little Uke. The Uke even told me if I give him five years he can retire from football...and play the ukulele for money...I cant wait. So if you wanna know what we as a family do on any given night...pull up a chair and listen to the gentle music stylings of the Uke, and lyric extraordinaire muah...and even a little background from the family mascot...

My fav- "girl I wanna lay you down....like peanut butter..." Classic... :)

I love you Uke!
