Boy, it's been a while since I've checked in. Late Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
The concert with the choir went fine, at the last minute I volunteered to sing a duet with the soloist. She was having a little trouble. I don't blame her, the song was difficult. Even with both of us singing together we still messed up! But no one but the people who knew the song noticed (I hope).

I guess it's still possible to get shaky up on stage no mater how many times you've sung something! I sang on Sunday morning (Oh Holy Night) and I was a bundle of nerves. I had to switch hands with the mic because I was shaking so badly. I really thought I flubbed the whole song but everyone I talked to loved it (the singing not the shaking). Go figure.

We saw this really interesting film on tv last night. It was a series of half an hour clips about channeling, false teachers, the catholic church uniting religions, evolution and its ties to communism/Hitler. (We saw one of our favorite Creationist, Dr. Kent Hovind!) Evolution tells us some people are higher (or 'more evolved') beings than other people. So killing another race you believe is lower is not wrong in the eyes of the evolutionists. We believe that God made all men equal! So in essence evolution is the reason we have racism.

Last night I went to choir practice. I wish Bonnie would have come with me! She went with me to one rehearsal back in the spring but she didn’t like it because it was so looong. We were singing this long patriotic musically dated medley. I was practicing a lot and everyone in the house learned the songs. In fact anything I sing everyone seems to pick up on it. Anyway, we’re only singing two easy songs this time and I think she would have enjoyed it and they could have used her.

This is turning more into a journal than a blog, but what exactly is the definition of a blog?

We saw a home movie of us at a friend’s house on New Years Eve yesterday afternoon. It’s so funny to see what we were like 3 years ago! I hope I don’t still look like that! I think everyone looked a little strange. And everyone was so tiny! The best part was seeing Vincent playing his banjo. He was so cute!

We visited a retirement home last night in the rain. Exciting! At least it was one of the shortest walks from the bus to the door you could want! The front door of the building had a two feet to spare before touching the bus. We ended up not setting up the sound system etc because the room was so small we didn’t need it. We also didn’t set up the keyboard, which would have come in handy in a few songs. It was the first time we’re played our little string quartet in public, well, as public as a retirement home could be. The rain seems to be gone, but there are still quite a few clouds and fog hanging around.

I’m so trying to get a photo album put together of our tour out west!! Maybe in a week or two it will be ready.

Till next time...
