Being promoted to the position of 'Grandparents'!

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!

Skywatch Friday

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?
