Human Rights Day?

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day? Whatever it's called, the kids were out of school. The kids took down some Christmas (yes, it's well into January and we still have our tree up) before they could go play at Grandma Cottle's house. I needed to go in the afternoon for a singing practice. Natalie needed Grandpa's help with her geometry. I mostly worked on my Sunny Side Up kit when we weren't singing.

For Relief Society this coming Sunday, the lesson is on service, so Mom wanted someone to sing "Develop His Power Within You." It has gorgeous harmony. Mom and her sisters sang it so many times when we were younger, that we knew the song quite well without even practicing. So Mom, Katie & I would be singing. Mom was going to sing second. That left Katie and I to fight over the alto and soprano (usually I sing second with Mom). I could barely hit the alto, which wasn't even written in. So I asked for soprano. It had one F, a handful of D's, but the rest was easily in my range. So that's how we decided to do it.

For FHE Dave gave the lesson and Natalie chose Hot Tub for activity. I'm glad we are enjoying it again. It's cold outside, but not IN the hot tub. (I often wear a hat -- yes, a winter hat--and I look like a dork, but I'm WARM!) Mostly we enjoy visiting, since there is nothing to do in the hot tub BUT visit. Maybe I'll get some of those waterproof UNO cards.
