It's hard to catch the cat lounging beneath the Christmas tree...so when it happens, you have to take your shot!

Making Music

These are some of my best friends. We are all part of a singing group that was formed, if I remember correctly, about 4 years ago. We actually started with only four, two of which have moved away. Three of the four of the original group were orchestra members, who also enjoyed singing. So, at the urging of, Carla, our original leader, we gathered together to learn a song or two for Christmas. It just kept going from there.

So, with only 2 of the original members - myself and Dee - both altos - we keep moving on. Now we are six strong, two at each part - Donna & Erin @ 1st soprano, Melissa & Erin @ 2nd soprano, and them Dee & myself @ alto. We have been through several transitions over the years, but still have a nice, tight harmony. We kind of enjoy the 'Point Of Grace' type of sound, and while we aren't quite as 'polished' as they, that is the closest comparison I can think of as to our particular style. We do various styles of music, from Gospel to Praise & Worship.

Unity of Faith

It's so nice being part of a group of ladies who stay so committed and enjoy making music together to glorify our Lord, and bring our church family into an attitude of worship.

We found out today that our original leader, Carla, lost her mother this morning to a possible heart attack. Please keep she and her family in your prayers through the difficult days to come. It's hard to lose a loved one, but losing someone during this time of the year is especially hard.

A Gift

I'm a pianist. I love all things piano. I love grand pianos especially. They are just one of the most elegant of all the instruments. I collect piano ornament, figurines, music boxes, etc. My friend, Joy, gave me this one to add to my collection. I LOVE it! I have a small tabletop tree that I have been putting my piano ornaments on, but I think I'm going to have to get a larger one! I'll post a picture of it once I get it set up.

I don't have a real grand...yet. Maybe one day!

Sunset following an afternoon of Christmas shopping at the local open air mall. YES, I said CHRISTmas! :-)

...and the musical heritage continues

We get to enjoy concerts again, at our old 'alma mater'. Who would have thought that 30 years later, we would be watching our daughter sing on the same stage we performed on! Where does the time go?

Tim Tebow - 2007 Heisman Trophy Winner
...and little ol' me!

This was taken earlier this year at our church's Upwards Basketball awards night. Tim was the guest speaker for the evening. It is so refreshing to have such an extraordinary role model for our kids. He is truly a fine young man who really loves the Lord and gives HIm praise for the talent that the has been given, and uses it for His purpose and His glory. One thing he said that night that really stuck out in my mind was that as much as he loves playing football, and as exciting as it was to win an SEC Championship, that is not what counts at the end of the day. What really matters is how you live your life for Jesus, and what you do for Him.

Congratulations to Tim and to his Mom and Dad, to whom he given reason to be extremely proud!

Keep it up, Tim! Go Gators!

A Couple of Things...

First off...hubby was able to locate the additional red and green icicle lights that we needed to finish the eaves. So...as promised...here are some pics!

The smallest tree in this group of 3 seems to have a problem. We hope it's just a fuse blown in the plug, which can be easily replaced. It was dark when he finished, so we'll have to check into it when it's light outside.

Then...I got a promotion at work. Monday was my first day in the new position. My former team surprised me with a cake, flowers, plant and card. It was really nice! It was a very hard decision for me to choose to leave, but in the end, I think it will be a good move for me.

(Glad I took my camera to work with me today!)

Winter Lights, Green Cove Springs

My sister came across this place the other night while driving by. We thought, what the heck, let's check it out.

The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. It was really very neat. Click on the photo to go see more of them.
