It has been awhile and much water has been going under the bridge so to speak since my last post but I realized I have offered no puppy updates.  So, even though there is not much to say, there is very much more to show. Right now I can only show you Angel Momma and Miranda, but I should have more pictures soon. The puppies are getting HUGE!  Angel Momma is visiting for a while and she only has about an inch of height on her 5 month old daughter.  They are manic out in the backyard taking turns being the antagonist, getting themselves trapped under the deck (De-constructing the deck a bit made rescue possible), teasing the Beagle next door and the squirrels.    And in the school room? They mostly nap, or peek out the windows when they hear chipmunks scolding.  We have joined a church,  locked horns with the DOT (4 times) and complied to the best of our understanding with the state homeschool laws.  The school year has begun in earnest.  We will all be together for the Holiday weekend so I am hoping to get some pictures of the puppies all together. ( I think Angel Momma is getting homesick.) Then you will KNOW which dog handed off his height genes!  Keep in touch, comment when you can, we enjoy them. God bless you! Have a safe weekend!

Adventures in the Life of a Piano Teacher

I gave piano lessons this morning to two of my students who are sisters, the older sister Giselle, has been my student for some years, but the younger, Wendy-Darling, has just started this summer.  Wendy-Darling and I are presently working on learning the names of the Treble clef line and space notes, but today a manifest injustice disrupted our work.  On the worksheet Wendy-Darling was using for the Treble clef lines, the acronym used was Every Good Bird Does Fly.  Wendy-Darling raised her earnest, troubled eyes to my face and asked, "But what if there was a good penguin?"

I think from now on, I'll just stick to Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.  You can't argue with that!

God Bless,

Bird
