Continuing Saga.......

Sunday was a busy day. I went to a Missionary homecoming at 9am and then I had Stake Conference from 2-4pm and I was singing the choir so had to be their at 1pm. In between the morning meeting and the afternoon meeting I drove back to Centerville to let the dogs out. Meanwhile I received a phone call for help from a friend. They were having a family get together. They had family from out of the state. They held an Eagle Scout court and she asked if would come and help in the kitchen so that they could spend time with the family and also to sing the National Anthem in the program that had put together. They missed me singing on Memorial Day so they wanted to hear me sing.
Now I am going to do a little advertising for my choir, the "Choral Arts Society of Utah". We have 2 concerts coming up for the Days of 47. The dates are July 11th and 12th, they are free, at Abravenel Hall at 7:30pm. That's all for now.

Continuing Saga.......

I don't have pictures to post this time, but 1 week ago I had my 45th birthday on June 1st. Some days it seems like the days are just dragging, but before I knew it another year has gone by. They say that the older you get the faster the time goes. I celebrated by birthday with The Bauman's, friends of mine. I have tended all the kids in this family and now they are all grown up and 2 of them have 3 kids, more on the way. One of the family has the same birthday as I do and so they invited me up to celebrate all the birthdays in this family in the past month. The oldest boy has a birthday on May 29th, He and his wife just had a new baby boy on May 30th. The second boy has a birthday on May 15th. The youngest boy's wife had her birthday on May 26th. It was a nice day and the dinner was good. Then I went to my brother Rob's house and visited with them for a bit. I got there in time to see Ryan and Jamie and Ava before they left to go home. Ava was so sweet, she made me a birthday card that I have hanging on my fridge. Thanks Ava. I love you. Apparently she got to grandpa's house and wondered where I was. So I am glad that I stopped by.
I am house sitting and animal sitting. I am taking care of some friends house and 2 dogs, Emma and Meggie, and a their cat, and a parakeet. There house is in Centerville. I will be their from the 6th of June until the 23rd of June.
On Memorial Day my ward has a Memorial Day Breakfast. I was asked to sing the National Anthem at the flag raising ceremony. It was raining a little. As I was singing it was quiet, but when I got the the chorus "And the Rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" a helicopter went over. It was cool. I have never been asked to sing the National Anthem. It was fun.
