…when you can build it right into your house?

I want a house full of built-ins.

I’ve faithfully paid the bills, keeping my internet home ready and waiting, just in case the blogging bug should bite again. And it is nibbling a bit… We’ll see what comes of it.

Just wanted to post a bit of something, on this anniversary of–not, uh, posting anything. *sheepish grin*

Autumn, the year’s last, lovliest smile.

Can you imagine?  More than a month has passed since my last weblog entry.  You know the old saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun!”  ‘Tis true, ’tis pity; and pity ’tis, ’tis true, to quote the Bard.  I’ve been having a jolly old time, just reading and thinking and working and dreaming–and enjoying the beautiful Springtime!  Let me share my joy with you…

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come…
Song of Solomon 2:12

The Lion of Judah, the Lamb that was slain,
In power and glory has risen to reign;
He only is worthy, none else could prevail,
To conquer the dragon and open the seal.

- from the hymn, The Lion of Judah

Justin and Audra and baby Elinor gave me three red roses.

Will you tell me which one you like best?

Just last month, my sisters and I sang at a Sweethearts’ Dinner, held in the tiny town of Terrace, Minnesota. The church basement was packed with 100 husbands and wives (and soon-to-be-marrieds), enjoying a romantic candlelight dinner. During the meal, we girls were hiding in the sanctuary, trying to control our nervousness as the time drew closer for our performance. The time came; we forged ahead; the audience smiled and clapped; we were walking on air!

The video recording above is of the “lovely little Lennon Sisters” singing the lighthearted love song, Melodie D’Amour. We listened to the clip over and over, and fashioned our own acapella version to sing at the Sweethearts’ Dinner. It is such a merry tune! I hope you enjoy it.
