Yesterday (Friday) my youngest daughter and myself attended an annual homeschooling mother daughter breakfast.  I always look forward to this event.  There is so  much inspiration.. When you leave, you feel newly motivated.  Each year, the organizer invites a speaker.. usually a mother who has been through all the up’s and down’s of homeschooling.. someone who has successfully homeschooled her children… many of which who have successful careers. 

This year, Deloris Booher was the guest speaker.  Wow.. what a story she had to tell.  She birthed and raised 7 sons & 1 daughter.  I did not know until hearing her story, they are a famous musical family.  I was telling my husband about Mrs. Booher and her family… of course, he said he already knows of them (He knows everyone..lol.. ).

She says as the children grew up, they all learned to play multiple instruments.  The whole family has traveled the world for various fiddle competitions.  Her children are all grown now, most married with children (if I remember right, she said she has 14 grandchildren).  She said all of her children are homeschooling their childern!  How happy her heart must be. 

She brought one of her sons and a grandson.  Her 10 year old grandson fiddled for our group and her son (Ben Booher) sang a song..  Three of the Booher brothers have recorded several CD’s..  If you go to The Booher Brothers website, you can hear ’snipits’ of their music.  I was able to click on the song Ben sang for us.. so that my husband could hear it.  If you are interested in hearing it, it is the 5th song on “Silver In The Sage” CD called, ‘He’s Still Workin’ On Me..’.
