Yesterday was our concert! It went so well. The bigger choir went first, and then us. The song we sang first was," Mr. Nobody," and then we sang a German song witch I cannot spell, and then"Shojojee," and then ," Ragtime carol," and then "Welcome all Wonders," and then ," Cornish Wassial." It was a lot of fun! Cornish Wassail and Welcome all Wonders we sang with the big choir. They are both Christmas songs. So is the German one and "Ragtime Carol." And I got to be an Usher up in the Balcony. (Sp)? And then when we got home we had Bananna splits, and we watched Surfs Up. That is a very funny movie! I like it a lot better than Happy feet. ( I get mixed up with them some times. They are a lot a like)! Well, I better go finish up my hot tea. Bye!
One of my friends made this for our Pumpkin Party earlier in the month. It was SO yummy I had to get her recipe. I am hoping to make this today to share with my mom who arrived yesterday to spend Thanksgiving week with us. :^)
Pumpkin Dump Cake
1 can pumpkin (29 oz.)
1 C sugar
1 can evaporated milk (12 oz.)
3 eggs
1 box yellow cake mix
4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 C melted butter
1 C chopped pecans
Combine pumpkin, sugar, evap. milk, eggs, spices, and salt in mixing bowl. Beat well. Pour into greased and floured 9x13 glass pan. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over mixture. Sprinkle the pecans over the cake mix. Pour melted butter over all. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. Watch closely, burns easily. (Knife inserted in the middle of cake should come out clean when done.)

After two days of recovery I've finally lost most of the anesthesia fog and I'm getting a little clearer.
My tummy looks like I'm pregnant with a painted on smiley face where my incisions are. I have four of them, with the lower one hurting the most. I spent part of today searching for sweat pants onine that will fit a 6'2" woman. I'm not sure when I'll be able to button jeans again.
For all of you brave women out there who have had C-sections I sympathize with you in a way I could never before. Boy, am I sore!!
Because everyone was so happy with my results I don't have a clear picture of exactly what was done on Friday but hope to talk to my Dr. tomorrow. I do know I have all my parts and pieces and that makes me smile.
God is so good to give us things we could never even imagine. Of course I'd figured out the three or four options I was going to be faced with and just like HIM he hands me one far better.
We recently were finally able to get together with our precious friends, The Hall Family, -- well, a portion of the family. We had a great time catching up and are reminded how very sweet our friendship is. God is so good to bless us with so many wonderful friends.

The group gathered to pose for a quick picture before we had to leave.
We've been close friends with this family since Mark was born. It's so great to reconnect. The children can't wait to do it again.
Me and my three sisters had a Dress Rehearsal for our choir today! It went really well. We are having our choir concert tomorrow at 4:00pm, and it is at Viewmont Babtist. (I hope I spelled that right). Please pray that we will do well. Bye!
