Song for Fair

I have been having trouble finding what song to sing for the American Idol Contest at the fair. I'm thinking I might do "Rainbow Connection" but i'm not sure. Does anyone have any other suggestions on songs that would be O.K. for an alto?

Isn't this Interesting?

(Cool email I got)

Results of AI Contest

I MADE IT! I sang the first verse of "Amazing Grace" and when I finished they said I sounded good and they said I was in tune and they liked how I did scales in it. Oh, by the way... Cotter and Uncle Joe made it through too. I can't wait until the fair!

American Idol Contest

This year my town's fair is doing an American Idol contest. Since they have an age level in my group I am trying out. Auditions are today so wish me luck!!

Smile

She smiled at the sorrowful stranger.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend and wrote him a thank-you letter.
The friend as so pleased with the thank-you that he left a large tip after lunch
The waitress surprised by the size of tip, bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she picked up her winnings, and gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the street was grateful; for two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner, he left for his dingy room.
(He didn't know at that moment that he might be facing doom.)
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy and took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful to be in out of the storm.
That night the house caught in fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked 'til he woke the whole house hold and saved everyone form harm.
One of the boys he saved grew up to be President.
All this because of an simple smile that hadn't cost a cent.

What Should I Write About?

I am really enjoying blogging to let everyone know. However, I always seem to never be able to know what to write about. Today I thought I would write about my day, like how I had a big breakfast with my family for my maama's birthday, and how my mom made HUGE cinnamon buns with frosting. Then I thought I would write about how much Bannon and Abby loves Veggie Tales but I changed my mind. Oh well!

Cross Stitching

Yesterday was the day when I started my newest hobby...cross stitching. Unlike crochet and latch hook, cross stitch is really pretty easy. All you have to do to cross stitch is put the thread diagonal from one hole to the other then vice versa....kind of. Well anyway. Mom got this really cute picture of this little baby with his hands in a praying motion. Under the baby's hands are these larger set of hands doing the same motion. On the side it says "Pray without ceasing." It's a very nice picture, and really big. Oh well, hopefully unlike latch hook I'll actually finish this new project!

The Innocence of a Little Kid

(Here is a funny email I recieved)


A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ."

Into The West

A new TV series/movie I would ighly recomend is Into the West. It is a very good movie dealing with the time period 1800's from the oregon trail to the Civil War. So if you are ever in need of a new interesting show get Into The West.
