Almost One Year Later....

It is musical time again!! This year I am the Music Technician for "Annie Get Your Gun" and the show runs from March 24th through April 2nd. I had auditioned to be in the show (just to prove to myself that I could give a monologue and sing on a stage)
but then I decided to help with the music instead. It is a fun (if not long) process, but end result is fabulous!

Cinderella

For over three months, I have been helping with the music portion of our local town production of "Cinderella", the enchanted version. Friday night will be our final performance in a 9-day run. My official title is "Music Technician" and I am responsible for the musical cues and tempos. It has been alot of fun seeing a play from the production aspect. I have enjoyed getting to know many neighbors in the community. But I will sure be glad to have my nights and Saturdays back!!

Happy New Year

New Year greetings from the great white North! This morning is a foggy, icy white.
I have been busy since going back to PA in December. And again, my pictures have disappeared into the unknown depths of my computer. I will bring you up to speed later!

I'm Still Here

I still can't figure out where my pictures have gone, and I have alot more to blog about. For now, I have been busy painting the kitchen. Pictures will follow. We have had three snowfalls so far, all in October. I am told this is unusual weather. I don't know. There has been ALOT of unusual weather since I moved here a year ago!!!

My New Profile Picture

Don't you just love this beautiful shot? We were in a canoe ~~ and I can't remember the name of the lake ~~ and we were blessed to see this scenery every day!!! So much of Canada looks like this. It is peaceful and lovely, Heavenly Father has created so much beauty for our enjoyment.

I Can Can, and I'm Not Talking Dancing

After about five years, I decided to do some canning this year. Calvin brought home five bags of apples (my apologies to the person who may have put two bags aside, but that Calvin took also)
from work, so I got busy! I tried a new recipe and method to make apple butter, which involved using a crockpot. It took alot longer than my usual oven method, but it still made the house smell good and netted 9 pints of apple butter.
And here are the 18 quarts of applesauce that I also canned! I even got a great deal on the jars and lids at a little secondhand shop here in town. Instead of paying almost $10 for new jars, I paid $3.60 for a dozen. Woohoo! Can't wait to get my canning supplies moved up here from PA.
