Belated Birthday Dinner


I have been in the Stake Young Women's Presidency for the past four years and every year we have two birthday dinners. Laurette and I have birthdays in Jan. and Janet and Tara have birthdays in Mar. This evening Tara and Janet took Laurette and I to El Camino for dinner. It was really good as usual. I had the taco dinner. We really enjoy each other and have become such good friends.

Renaissance Dress


It took me until 1:30 am to do it but I am finished with the Renaissance dress. I ran out of the braid ties, so I have to get some more to tie the shoulder ties. Now I've got to get someone to model it for some pictures. Hopefully I can find someone who wants to buy it. Rich wants me to put a label in it with my name. I can't think of anything creative to call my dresses. So if anyone has any idea's for my dress label, please share. I am going to do all kinds of costumes dresses. I think it turned out well!

I decided it is time for a new post. I haven't done anything too exciting but I'll update on whats been going on here. Last weekend Sean sang his first solo at the regional choir tryouts. I didn't know he was going to do it until just a few days before. I guess it was a requirement for choir. Luckily he has been taking voice lessons from Grandma and had a song ready "Danny Boy". But he neglected to get an accompanist. So the night before I called his choir teacher (Debbie Lichfield) and she agrees to accompany him. We don't know yet how he did. But Debbie was surprised at how well he did. By the way, the first time he ever sang the song with the accompaniment was at the tryout. Spencer sang "Danny Boy" also and Christine accompanied him. But Spencer sang in Low Voice and Sean sang in High Voice so they were in different keys. Then Sat. night after getting home from Holbrook (that's where the tryouts were), he went to the Winter Formal. It was a girl- ask- guy and he was asked by Lindsey Lefevre. He had a good time. I don't have any pictures because he ran out before Lindsey could even get in the door. Rich and I went to Flagstaff on Saturday and brought Lauren home. She tried to find a job there but had no luck. She withdrew from school because she was unable to get any of the classes she needed. She is only about two semesters away from graduating and we couldn't see wasting a semester. She can go back to BYU-I in April so she is trying to find a job. If anyone knows of one she would be most grateful. She can go anywhere for a couple of months. She really doesn't want to stay in St. Johns. Now, what I am up to, I have started making a dress. It is a Renaissance dress. I have wanted to see if I could make and sell costumes on line. I am making it really fancy with lots of detail so someone might want it. I will post a picture when I am finished. And last, I am really having fun watching American Idol. I don't know why, but I love that show. I guess I love to see how talented these people are. I'm hooked.
