It was a good weekend. Friday night Hubby and I went out to supper to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary, then he took me to hear my mentor play the organ in their church's annual Lessons and Carols on Saturday. How I love singing the carols while he plays!! Saturday was also my ATC trade, it was nice to see the ladies from the Scrapbook Store again. How I miss the convenience of the store. Sunday of course was church - it went very well despite the fact I haven't been feeling well. The Lord truly stepped in and worked through me as I played - I did not do anything in my own strength that morning. Sunday after church Hubby and Daughter went out to get our tree. It's still sitting naked in the living room!
It is shaping up to be a very busy week this week. Today I have a practice time I must get in, then I'm meeting with one of my piano parents to practice with her. I will be accompanying her while she sings Gesu Bambino on Saturday when she sings in our annual Family Recital. She is a professional vocalist who has sung opera in years past. I am very honored she asked me to accompany her but I'm also very nervous as I've had to rework a piano accompaniment to work on the organ and I'm not sure I can manage it very well. Following my practice with her I have 5 lessons to teach this afternoon/evening.
The rest of the week holds a full teaching and practice schedule, Friday I'll practice with Mary again and Saturday is our recital. Sunday is the Christmas program at church and I haven't even begun to practice the hymns and carols the congregation will be singing that day. I also have two solo pieces to put together for that as well as possibly a duet with Hubby.
It looks like no one is going to play my little game, so here are the answers:
Left to right: a) Pegasus b) Sirens c) Icarus
Fairies
Left to right: a) mermaid b) Apollo c) Aphrodite
Next month's theme is "your ethnic heritage". As usual, I have no idea what I will do!
Until next time...
Ah heck. I'm sorry no one played and sorry I have no knowledge of Greek mythology. Thanks for the answers, and you did a great job representing them!! Glad you had a good anniversary celebration, got to hear your mentor play, and enjoyed singing carols. You had a busy weekend, indeed!! Thanks for catching us up, Julie!
ReplyDeleteNow that I have the answers, I can see it in that particular card. Sorry I couldn't play. Just didn't have the smarts like you do.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Lord steps in and guides us, gives us the strength or knowledge, it's always such a blessing and much better than we can do alone. I thank Him for being there for you because I know how important the music is to you.
I hope you feel better and that everyone will be able to do the recital.
You take care, my friend. Stay warm and hydrated. And take your Vit. C. God bless.
