Fall Choir Workshop

Today is the first day of November...wow, already. Halloween was a "non-event" at our house...2 Trick or Treaters showed up...and that was it. I dislike Halloween so it was fine with me. Since our neighborhood is on a hill and dark, we usually don't get a lot of kids..also, we don't have a lot of kids on the block. So we send up with candy left over which is why a couple of years ago we started giving out juice boxes.... good for the kids and good for us if they are left over. This year I bought chocolate milk boxes... so now we have to drink that!!

Chancel Choir Fall Workshop was from 9-4 today. It's always a fun time - starting to rehearse our music for Christmas and just having time to visit with each other. Great turn-out today and good food. What's a Presbyterian meeting without food? I don't know because we never have them.... lots of great snacks and then soup, salad, sandwiches for lunch. We had sectional rehearsals (men, women) in the morning and after lunch a Master Class (men,women) with Katie and Ross for an hour. What a great time that was. Working on basics of choral singing. And then putting all the work together after another break (food). A good time was had by all. I will miss the Pacific Northwest when we move to New Mexico but mostly I'll miss choir and First Presb. We are so blessed to have this fabulous music program that has given both Gene and me such great adventures since I've been part of it. Can never replace it but also, can never take it away from me.

Tomorrow, Sunday, I will work on my resume and send it off to a few places. It's the hardest thing to do as I'm not good at telling people how wonderful I am !! Ha Ha.

Daylight saving time ends tonight so what was 9 pm is now 8 pm... so I'm heading off to the internet to research jobs.

Good night all.
