Beta Radio has lately become one of my favorite bands. I found them last year on Noisetrade and was so excited to get word that they were doing a house gig tour and coming to Tucson. Matt and I went and really enjoyed the intimate environment as these 2 guys played for about 30 people in someone's living room. These guys sing and play just as well live as they do on their albums. Afterwards we got to meet them and tell them how much we enjoy their music and got a tour poster signed. Great show!

Ladies Book Club on the Art Wall

My Ladies Classics Book Club made it on the art project wall that Cindy Visser arranges at church. For the Lent season Cindy decided to photograph the different ministry groups at church and ask the members what they are learning about Jesus in their particular group. Then she hung up a photo of each group with the responses surrounding it. Cool idea and great job Cindy!

Communion Ministry

Matt and I are in charge of the Sunday morning communion ministry at our church which means we set it up and tare it down. Since we have taken it over we have been pleased to make some improvements to the system. We upgraded the wine to Port and finally after a few years of offering to make the communion bread (instead of using matza crackers) Pastor Phil said yes. Palm Sunday was our first service with real bread followed by Maundy Thursday. It is an honor to make the bread for the most important meal a Christian consumes!

14 Years!

Happy Anniversary to us! We decided to celebrate at home because I had to work during the day and we didn't want to be rushed in our evening. We started out on the patio having a very special bottle of Champagne, Krug Grande Cuvee, to celebrate our marriage with as we exchanged gifts. Then we had a lovely dinner with thick cut filet mignons that Matt grilled to perfection. We accompanied such a fine piece of meat with an equally fine wine- a 2005 Souverain Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Praise be to God for 14 years!
