"Princess and Daughter of the King"

Create a photo slideshow This was what the middle school choir did for our Veteran's Day program. There were several representatives from various armed forces. The kids did a great job. This was my first time leading choir for middle school kids.

The following link is a video I presented to the class Music Helps for Class Time Since my last post, I've been working in a new position. Instead of worship leading, I'm working with Middle School age 6th and 7th grades as a choir director. My class is small, 14 students, but that leaves more for a personal approach.  The class is pretty structured and I've put together a curriculum that has kept them busy. We started out the semester with music history and I used an online free course. Lately, though, that same link is no longer available. I used a place called music history lessons which was made on weebly. One day, as usual, I would go to the link but received an error report. I'm thinking they must be revising the link. Anyway, we began our history from the year 0 to 450 A.D and proceeded to the current era. I found the "Odes Project" cd that recorded music to several hymns written during the 3rd and 4th century and taught them one of t...

This is a wonderful view of Arizona back in the 1930's.  So many changes have occurred these many years. Still Arizona is my home and will be for the rest of my life. I really love the natural beauty here.

I really enjoy gardening. It's a big responsibility to get up early, water and make sure everything has enough moisture.

  This was a dance I presented at our Easter "Passion" program in 2013.

Unbelievably, I will be turning 70 this month. I've enjoyed my life with the Lord   for over 50 years. I've been married, had children and have now six grandchildren. I've traveled many times with my kids, lived on two reservations, moved over 30 times in my married life and now happy and content in a place that my dad would call "God's country". I had a knack for selling and loved meeting new people. I started as a teen selling "Vanda" cosmetics, then a pre-paid insurance program, then Amway where my former husband and I sold mostly laundry soap and a coffee service. We excelled in it but later ended up moving again. To help with our finances, I went to school and received an Associates Degree in Graphic Design but had no place to use what I learned. We ended up in Holbrook, Arizona and not finding work there, I used my education to make business cards, forms and ads. Now that I'm in a place where older, retired and semi-retired peo...

The following link takes you to the parade held in Payson, Arizona before Christmas. I went by myself since my hubby was not feeling well. I took my campstool and wore my long coat. It was very cold, probably in the 30's but I was warm. There were several large fires in drums along the route for those who needed hands warmed. http://www.smilebox.com/playBlog/4e444d324f544d304d44553d0d0a&blogview=true
