My Meme Mania is the home of I Did it! – Monday.You are invited to participate and to register your
participation at My Meme Mania. Come, join us.
Our son, Scott, is visiting and that was the excuse for a recent gathering of our family in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We went for a nice meal and then returned to Bryant and Barbara’s house to continue our fun together. A willing neighbor even took a group photo of us.
Chuck, Sylvia, Scott, Briana, Barbara and Bryant.We went inside and after an excellent dessert, I asked Briana if she would show me how Guitar Hero works. She said, “Sure!” (I love that girl.) Everybody adjourned to the family room in the basement. Briana and Bryant had the large screen, game machine and the controllers hooked up in no time. And before you can say, “Well, dog my cats” the feud had begun. It was duelling guitars.
We all had a shot at being a Guitar Hero.
Sylvia has played guitar since she was a youngster. Hey! This controller is different. Don’t worry she did very well. The boys remembered something they learned early in life, “Don’t mess with Momma!”
We played the game and Barbara captured the proceedings in digital images. If you have to know the score, I beat nobody. Nobody beat Briana.
Does that mean I’m better? You wouldn’t say so if you had been there. Despite my shaky hands, it was a heap of fun. I’d like to do it again.
HI Chuck, Belated Happy Birthday to you. Congratulations for being have a good life and wonderful family. God bless you and wishing you more life to come.
Thanks for knowing you at the age 68 and you become my virtual friend at the age of 69.
Have a great day and cheers!!!
heeheehee… great family pics, Chuck! We have Wii's Rock Band but I've never even tried any of it.
Justine 😮 )
Buggys, It sure is fun to do that with the kids and grandkid.
Lin, I'll take your word for it 😉
Vanilla, At least she will vocalize.
Fearless, Too much fun? How can that be possible? (I really do understand.)
Donna, It was fabulous fun. More than that truck driver was having (if that's possible).
Mikke, I'll have to take you up on that offer. But forget the drums.
Susan D, It is nothing like a real guitar, is it? Different technique.
Grace, Thanks for visiting.
Hitesh, Live performance? I'm not ready for that level of humiliation.
Shinade, It most certainly was fun — mostly because we were doing it together.
Later that evening, Briana's friend, Christian, stopped by. The two of them gave us a demonstration at the highest difficulty level. They both did very well. Briana remained unbowed and unbeaten.
Wow yes you certainly did do it and it looks like you had fun doing it too.
The pictures are wonderful. thanks for sharing them with us.
I just don't think I could ever master Guitar Hero…good for you!! And I most definitely can't sing!
My family doesn't allow it because I am really really bad.
Thanks for the smiles this morning. I fell asleep last night very early while taking a break.
So I am running way behind. But, will have a new post up soon…I hope!!:-)))

Ah, Guitar Hero — I just played it for the first time. I actually play the real guitar and I stunk up this game.
Kiss — Rock and Roll.
What'd ya play?
🙂 Sue
Next time you're in VA, you can come play Rock Band with me. I'll even let you try the drums instead of the guitar if you like… or you can sing, too!
I love the pictures! It looks like you all had a ton of fun!
I saw the video of the dancing trucker…that is just nuts!!! My husband was there for 6 months and he said they drive CRAZY!!! Now we know why!!
GOD bless you brother!
Your sister in CHRIST,
Donna
Too much fun!!!! Great pictures!!!
With Lin, nothing but "vocal."
Yo-ho-lay-de-hoo.
At least you are courageous enough to make the attempt.
That is HILARIOUS, Chuck!! I stink at Guitar Hero! Well, the guitar part. I can semi do the drums, but I can rock it out on the vocals. My kids just say I score because I'm so loud. Whatever. I cannot do that guitar for the life of me, so I'll safely say you could beat me. I'm impressed that you were in there with the rest of them–points for that alone. 🙂
Our family plays rock band but I think it is the same thing. So much fun! We always have a blast trying to compete with the kids.
