this is exciting!! my friends daughter (that sings)

14 years ago

Went to Atlanta today and signed up for American Idol!! We are so excited for her!

Some of you will remember she's the girl that sang at Ronnie's (my husband) funeral last year and if Liz was here, she would tell you that Eirene did a wonderful job...even though it was VERY emotional for her!!

Auditions are Thursday..and if you've got any thoughts & Prayers to send that way, we sure would appreciate it!!!!!

What about them makes you say they are unreliable? After my order was placed it took a few days to get an email from the woman who operates the business and when she did I was informed that one of the varieties I ordered was out of stock, no big deal as I was refunded that amount. It took maybe a week and a half to two weeks for my order to arrive. When it did arrive there was a packet of freebies and that made me happy. There may have been a slight lapse from when I ordered till I got confirmation of my order, perhaps the shipping took a little longer than expected but from what I gather Amishland seeds is pretty much ran by this one lady and a few of her friends/farm enthusiast/farmers when they have the time to lend a helping hand. Now if your talking about seed germination rates or something like that then I will not be able to comment till spring time.

Oooooh! This is a fun one Weldon. I have good luck finding songs when I Google the word : "lyrics" and the phrase from each song I remember such as "There once was a farmer who took a young miss" Here's what I found for you: "One for the Wonder": scroll down this web page and the lyrics are listed: http://www.wagglepop.com/stores/bond-vintage-sheet-music?disp=view&listingID=25152&data= "A You're Adorable": http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/folk-song-lyrics/Youre_Adorable.htm "White Coral Bells": http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/whitecor.htm "Sweet Violets"-looks like there may be more than one version of this one: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/folk-song-lyrics/Sweet_Violets_2.htm Thanks for prompting me to look up a couple of silly camp songs I'd forgotten. Unfortunately, I can't find mine!

losing my momma...my best friend
Q

I am so sorry for your devastating loss. Five years ago in August I also lost my Momma. This web site and the wonderful people that visit it often were my lifeline to keep going. It has been a long, long journey.....she was a loss so deep that I thought I would never recover from. I will always, always miss my Momma but I have come to realize how very blessed I was to have had for the 40 years I did. There is not much that anyone can say or write that will make the pain any easier. It was just such a comfort knowing that what I was feeling was normal and that other people have been in my shoes. The first few years were completely horrible, the darkest days I have ever experienced. I would go off by myself and fall into a black hole and felt like I never wanted to come out. I had such a difficult time learning how to live a life that was completely different than what I had known. No one can say how long you should grieve and no one knows how deeply it will affect you. I can only say from my own experience that time will not heal the wound.....it will only make the throbbing less intense. When I close my eyes, I can still see her as perfectly as if she were here with me so for a long time, I lived in my mind. I did a lot of praying and leaned on my faith and then one day....I realized the sun was shining again. From this experience I have learned to be more present in the moment. This is how memories are created and in the end, when someone passes, that is all we have to keep of them so I try real hard to collect as many as I can and enjoy every moment I can with the people that I love. I wish the best for you on your journey and hope that when you close your eyes, you realize she has never really left you at all. Blessing & hugs to you....

Wintercat: "--------- In many cases such reactions reflect on the guest rather than the host.-----" I was invited to a private company golf outing. Dinner was served at the end of the day. The golf outing was to honor the president of the company, who happened to be black. After a few guests went to the podium to give speeches about what a great guy the president was. It was the president's turn to give thanks and acceptance speech, " Thank you, thank you, thank you! Before I start, I want to ask you guys to save me some watermelon on the buffet table. You know how much we like watermelons ------" That totally crack everyone up. A few tables had to be cleaned up because a few guests sprayed wine all over. Yes, it depends. dcarch

Me too,Leslie! I've only watched AI ONE time and that was because I almost felt UN-American because I didn't!! lol She's pretty excited and nervous! Even if she doesn't make it, she deserves a HIGH-5 for trying!*S*

Leslie...she's going to sing "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston. Eirene is white, but she's got that unique "soul" going on! You might have noticed it in the CD I sent you! I'll be surprised if she doesn't do better than Whitney!!! lol

Here is a link that might be useful: Whitney Houston

Oh I noticed she has a lot of soul. I still love and play that CD all the time. I thought she might be Hispanic. I know she'll do great. And just think. When she becomes famous, I'll have one of her very first CD's.

I am SO sorry! I forgot to post! She didn't make it..least not that time! She's going back in January and try again. The night before the try-outs she did karaoke at a place here in town (to practice). Practicing seemed like a good plan at the time..but she she probably put too much strain on her vocal chords. They DID tell her she really really needed to come back in Jan!!

I'll keep you posted as it gets closer!!
