The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 5

[Steamboat Marti]

Great pics, Marti. Looks like a fun day.

Matt also had a good day at church today Denise! He is understanding the music notes on the page. I told him that each time the note went higher on the scale, our voices would go up too. You would have thought I told him he won a million dollars -- it was a true lightbulb over the head moment for him! They also sang the Hallelujah Chorus and it was beautiful. Such a great day for us!

Well it's about time I got an apology~!

Well Heck - I'm still waiting for mine!!!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

I think that's why I feel like I fit in so well here. We all have so many of the same qualities. Did you ever feel like you didn't fit in anywhere? Well, the DIS (specifically DDA) is the one place that I truly feel like I fit in.


As long as everyone knows that I'm trying to be a smarty pants, and not cruel, I guess I'm ok.

You? A smarty-pants?? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



ETA: Where is Amy when you need her??

OMG - Glynis - I can not tell you how many times I have had a conversation about you and it involves a discussion about how you are one of the sweetest people in the world!!!!

You know what is nice about the DDA? There is always someone around - someone to chat with or cry with or laugh with - it is always here - it is hard to find that sort of constant in your life!!

I've had too much caffeine - who's still around???

I'm so glad he loves music too. One way we teach high and low notes in choir is to take a long piece of string. Let the kids make a design with the string and then follow it with your finger raising and lowering your voice with the dips and curves. Now my kids get high and low. I think Rees will end up singing and playing an instrument. I played the French Horn through school and until I graduated grad school. I love playing in the Symphony. I'm glad it's a passion that he and I can share. BK and Davis love choir too, but Rees REALLY loves it.

Denise -

I don't think her apology was very sincere - there wasn't even a Dole Whip involved!

Kate - I swear I thought the same thing! How could this sweet person ever think she comes across as sarcastic But hey, I'll take her apology!

Pretty funny question - in light of what I posted right above you!!

We have bad storms so I am up for a while!

Ok, well Marti I'm so sorry you have to put up with smelly SKUNKA!

I've never had a Dole Whip!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

He may be - but he treats me like a princess!!! (I'll take it!)

Pretty ironic - isn't it??

But if we are sharing a brain because we always seem to have the same thoughts -- could I have tomorrow off? I have more company coming and I don't want to think about it!.

Most of you who have been on here for a while and especially the past few months will probably remember that my Mom has been steadily declining in health. Well, tonight she died. It was not really unexpected nor sudden, but it hurts, nonetheless. Bob and I were going to PA to visit her and his parents this coming Friday. I guess we will be going sooner now. Please keep my brother in Boston and my sister in Allentown in your thoughts as we all all be traveling at some time this week.

We'll keep you all in our prayers.

I believe you all just heard an arrow through my heart - you are killing me!! Thank god Chick Fil-A is closed today or you'd go on telling me how great their sandwhiches are!!

I know. She is going to have a field day with me when she reads all this. Oh well.

Anybody know where to find a copy of Beauty and the Beast? I, uh, kinda broke the kids' copy this weekend. Now I'm in the dog house! Anywhere other than Ebay?

Ebay is where I had to get mine...sorry have no other ideas!!
