I'm Soooooooooooo Sorry

Just call me "Space Cadet". I totally spaced tonight's performance until I got a call at 9 pm from Amy checking to see if we were ok. We had an enjoyable weekend in Idaho. We'd reviewed several plans of when to return home (from leaving after lunch on Sat to come right to the performance, to leaving late Fri. night and driving in the dark to leaving quickly after breakfast on Sat. morn so we could do stuff at our own house on Sat. -- like clean it). Anyway, we left it kind of open-ended and kind of changed our mind while we were there and then had a family member not feel well through the night on Fri night and therefore sleep longer than usual on Sat morn. With all of the chaos and with just enjoying hanging out with all of our extended fam, I spaced it as we left Idaho and as we drove home. And the silly thing is that we were probably almost driving by Rose Park at about the right time.
I apologize 1000 times to you all. I hope that it was still a somewhat enjoyable evening for your families.
We did, by-the-way, have a nice holiday visiting with both families despite some of the craziness: like being 2 hours late to one dinner; sick people; forgetting a coat, warm gloves, and boots -- each for a different child -- for our trip into the forest to cut down a Christmas tree; cooking way too many yams; 2-yr olds staying up way too late each night; my sister's onery (sick) and whining children, and FORGETTING A SINGING PERFORMANCE; etc.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving time. It's actually one of my favorite holidays. I love being with family and I enjoy the fact that it's usually a little less hectic than Christmastime so I can enjoy it a little more fully. (Maybe I'll look forward to that again some more next year.)

Do we want to do a sacrament meeting?

Somebody asked me if we would come and do a sacrament meeting. I told him we were booked for this year. He wanted to know if we might consider doing it next year. I know we have done sacrament meetings in the past what do you think about doing it again?

December 2nd performance

Hi Singing Ladies, I hope all of you have a most happy Thanksgiving. I have some information about our performance on Tue, December 2nd. This performance will be in Rosepark where we practice. We are invited to eat at 6:00 and then we will sing after. I think we should meet at 5:30 to warm up. I look forward to singing with you and performing for our families on the 29th.

A Christmas Wish

Hey Singing Ladies!

My husband and I attended a Bishopric Seminar at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building last Thursday. As I marveled from the ninth floor at the amazing view of Temple Square, I couldn't help but think of all of you and the magic you have brought to so many of my Christmases. My wish for you this holiday season is for your hearts to be filled to overflowing with the Savior's love. May His tenderest, most personal mercies attend you and may you literally feel His love everyday!

I BELIEVE!

Past Member Invitation

Has anyone thought of inviting our former members (I'm specifically thinking of the girls who live in Layton direction) to our performances that are in their neighborhoods. When we post or email the directions/time/place, I think that we should send out an invite to them. I'm saying this now because I'll probably forget again until it's too late, so maybe someone who's more on the ball can take the idea and run with it. I'm hoping that we'll see JoDell at her ward :)

From what I understand, there were several conflicts with Thursday's scheduled practice.  Which makes sense, because it is not our normal practice time.  So, with that in mind, I think we need to make a decision as to which date works best to practice.  It seems everyone's schedule works with having practice on Tuesday with the exception of Becky who could arrive about an hour late.  

I think we should go ahead with Tuesday and have Becky arrive late rather than hold a practice where people are missing.

I checked with Larna and the building would be busier on Wednesday too with YM/YW.  So let's go ahead with Tuesday and we'll just see you when we see you Becky - and thanks for your efforts to get to practice - I know it will be a busy night for you.

Larna will bring the mics - so let's arrive ready to go through our program and do it!
Thanks to all of you for your efforts in practice, travel, and commitment!
Amy
