Well, it's Christmas time again and we are singing away. It's more fun with my children's choir at St. Margaret's Episcopal church. I love the pieces we are doing with PDQ Bach and also the Grinch - who did steal Christmas, anyway - the secular world??

Then it will be off to ski

my new e-friend, who is a professional photographer found some awesome photos of Mother - she was a looker

shalom, salaam, peace ---

Mother wasn't so happy at school, judging from her letters, and thought about not returning to Loma Linda, but she was a trooper and did graduate. What she really wanted was children, which she loved. Eventually after marrying Bill Rhodes she had 3 and ruined this figure.

Daisy and I will be singing for the Feast of St. Francis on Sunday - we bless all the animals and all in our circle, in a broader circle and in the weave of life. Good Celts all, we bless you and you bless us too.

this world moves too fast for us

We had an absolute blast with Adventures of the Apostles Vacation Bible school
This year Tracee Chatfield (Martha) Carrie Wyshard (Phoebe) and I took 13 kids
on the adventure of the year.

Convention 2008

Two of my favorite priests at the diocesan convention. Fr. Al Murray and Fr. Dan Rondeau
- all in all things went quite well. Our own Tools for Tomorrow dinner was the same night so I didn't have the chance to attend the dinner. We are all busy practicing for our spring concerts. What fun with Kay Ballard and Peter Marshall. Dylan wants his own diamond collar.

Christmastide all year

Today we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was such a wonderful man, with great vision. At BloomintheDesert.org we will be singing "One Earth, One Sky" - it's exciting to be with people who share a commitment to a vision of mutual respect and honoring our desire to grow.
