Visiting momma

No pics yet, but we just planted a million bajillion different flowers in the flower bed for momma's Mother's Day present. When she gets home from the hospital, she will LOVE all the petunias, johhny jump ups, asters, cone flowers, bee balm, etc etc etc that we planted. Oh, and she'll love the vining honeysuckle that sits in a pot, vining up the bamboo by the bench or all the hanging basket of flowers or the asters or the lovely pot of yellow something or others sitting in the wishing well. Can't wait to see them all in the morning! The iris' already are blooming and so is the bleeding heart!

I know, pictures, pictures pictures!....scott has his camera, hopefully we'll get some soon.

Happy Mothers Day, all you mothers! It was originally started by the Mothers of WWII in peaceful hopes of bringing their sons home. There is still hope...I hope.

The Grand Finale!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is it. Ms. Creek's last concert was last night. She was sooo happy to walk into the gym and see her husband (who was supposed to be in Billings) sitting by her daughter! She smiled.

And there was a very nice crowd turnout, as well.

First they heard the choir sing. Some were absent from being sick. Small group, big voiced. They had fun and did great!


Then in came the big sounds of this large 5th grade class. Their songs, Dust in the Wind, Proud Mary and Give Me Wings were real crowd pleasers!


They played Lost Kingdom, Flintstones and Battle Creek March.

And were just as cute as they could be!

The 6th grade is a class of only 19 and 4 of them were sick :o( However, they played very well...

Alpha Squadron, Aztec dance and their favorite....Stray Cat Strut!

The 7-8th grade band let their lovely tones ring out! They played Irish March, Legend of the Eagle Caves and
their favorite...Jump Street Boogie. Had to throw in a little jazz!
And when it was all over, I was showered with hugs...

and high schoolers came because they knew it was my last concert, so I received many hugs from them...

and a GIANT group hug!

and flowers...and a card...

Ennis is a small town of 650 people, but it will always hold a very large part of my heart.
