I know I haven’t posted for quite a while. Life has been pretty busy, particularly considering this is the slow time of the year. Last Sunday was the benefit concert in which I accompanied the choir director as he sang 5 songs. It went quite well and I got compliments on it this week. But getting ready for that took quite a lot of practicing.

We had a couple of good work days. Last weekend we got the plumbing completely finished. Actually, that was mostly Dad, as I had play practice all day Saturday. Then Dad also took off Wednesday, and I just happened to wake up with hives so bad on my face that I didn’t want to be seen in public, so I called in sick and we worked on the house all day. We got the kitchen cabinets all torn out and the wiring almost done in the kitchen. Hopefully we will complete that this weekend and get back to sheet rocking. There is still a lot to do, but the end is in sight!

I also played for two funerals this week. $50 each, which should nicely cover my gas driving over to Shakopee and back this weekend to practice with Erica. Again, God provides for our needs, sometimes without our even asking!

It still seems like the performances for Grease are a long ways away, but once we hit March, it will seem a lot closer to being done with that. I’ve had a lot of fun, and am making good money, I might add. But it will be nice to have my evenings back, especially when the time changes and it is light in the evening.

So, basically, all is well in New Auburn. Just wish the darn hives would go away!
