Johanna Speaks

So today I will be explaining the differences between a violin and a fiddle. 

I just want to say that there is no difference between them at all! All you do is play differently. Now you must be asking, " Jo, everybody plays different types of music so why is it called fiddle playing and not violin playing?!?" 

Well, to answer your question, technically you can say you are playing violin music but to be more specific about what type your playing, you can say I am playing fiddle music. 

Here's what fiddle playing sounds like:

That video was a guy playing really good fiddle music! Some people even make up different fiddle songs because it's just pretty easy to make! They don't even need to name it. Once you hear that type of music, than you will know that's fiddle playing. And again, it isn't a different type of violin that's called a fiddle. It's just a certain way you play it. 

I actually LOVE fiddle music!! I try to play like that but for me, I can't do it. I just need time and practice. Which I am too lazy to do. :) Ok, actually not true....... I practice for church and for the bible studies and then after I practice. But most of the time I don't try to do fiddle music. But I should!! 

Well, Bye!!!!!

I have my Spanish classes coming up soon!! It's starting up again on Jan 29. I am really excited!! And nervous too! I am scared that I might forget some Spanish words! Which I probably will. But Hopefully I won't! 

Our whole class was supposed to be reading Spanish books while we weren't doing our classes on zoom. But most of the class didn't read. I did for about 3 weeks. I stopped because we were moving into a different house at that time. And most of the time I didn't know where the computer was. I still need to do it now that we are moved in but I am lazy and don't really want to do it. But I am doing Duolingo everyday so that kind of counts! 

But I am excited to do it again. But the only thing I don't like, is that I want to do choir again in Redding but the time of when the Spanish classes end are close to when the choir starts. I do have like 20 mins to get ready and eat lunch, but right after I would have to leave. Some of the people from choir are actually in the Spanish classes. But my mom says that she doesn't want to have to drive me there every Tuesday but that Ezra can when he gets his drivers license. Technically, Ezra would be getting his drivers license this year but then I would have to be in the semester for the Christmas choir performance and that's going to be awhile. But also I would be almost 14 years old so I would be able to be in the Senior choir!! So I guess I will wait. 

I might even do ballet again in the summer but I am still deciding. I am right now trying to do the splits. So everyday I do the exercises for it. So wish me luck!! Bye!! 

Sophie's and Cameron's birthday is on the 20th Jan. My brother Jonathan's is on the 13th Jan. So for their birthdays, our family is going to the grand buffet!! We are going on the 20th! I can't wait to eat all the good food there!! 

Sophie will be turning 8! And Cameron I think is turning 24 or 25. Jonathan is turning 25. 

My parents for Jonathan's birthday are going out with him today for lunch actually! My mom wrapped the presents for him and just left! 

I also really want to make a cake for Cameron. I was actually thinking of making a red velvet cake for Valentine's Day but since that's still far away I decided to make Cameron a different type of cake. I am finding out what Cameron wants! But still deciding if I should make one because lately my cake decorating has been a little ehh. But I probably will do it. 

The grand buffet is in Redding and it's a tradition in our family to go there for anyone's birthday! We tried going there when our entire family was here last but that day we wanted to go, it was closed. :( But instead we all went to a Mexican restaurant!! That was a pretty good one! But this time we checked and the grand buffet is not closed on the day we want to go!! So I am very excited!! 

I have many friends, and I love how each one never ends. I love how the Garza girls are always there to make me laugh and have fun, and they always get that job done! I'm just so happy to have them as chums! And I can't wait to be roommates when the time comes! My other best friend was from when we were babies. Don't worry, we never had rabies. Well, her name is Abby! She comes and always makes me happy! We almost play every day. When we were young, we did ballet! Every Friday we go to the lake club! We're there to have fun and eat some grub! My favorite type of grub is chicken and fries. But I would rather have some pies. But I'm just so glad to have friends like the Garza girls and Abby! They aren't too shabby! Jk they are actually amazing people! I'm so glad that God gave me them to me! I hope that one day we could all go and ski! 

Thanks for reading this second poem I made!! Hoped you liked this one!! 

I moved to a different place. And now we have a smaller space. We have a beautiful deck and backyard, and it's easy to roam since it's not hard. I love the sunset glistening over the treetops in the summer as the hummingbirds hummer. All we need is a dog, but my parents say, "Not yet! Wait until the house is all set!" So now I wait until that day, "Please let us get a dog God!", I pray. I still wait as my sister Noelle tries to sneak and get me one, but I should wait until God answers me and gets the job done. But I know when I get a dog, my life will be a lot more fun! As I watch my neighbors walk with their dogs, I choose what breed I want, but when I close my eyes, they start to haunt! Im ok I say, but really I'm not. I love my new home, and I love the hills on which I roam! Goodbye, I say to my old house! Im sorry I never got to meet my spouse! 

Thank you for reading this poem I just finished up today! I did it all by myself from scratch! Tell me if you like it!! bye!!!
