So, I’m thinking about starting a gardening blog. I know, I know, you’re saying, but Kjirsti you already have TWO blogs. . . really a third? Well, I’m considering doing the gardening blog rather seriously- with the hopeful attempt of getting a bit of a following. What do you think? What information would you want…

Tom never ceases to surprise me. I had bought some Dubliner cheese in honor of St. Patrick’s day, but we didn’t have anything to eat it on, so Tom decided he was going to make bread. Tom has made bread once before- for me for our first date. (Man, I really am a sucker for…

As I have grown, Easter has taken on a new meaning for me. Gone are the days of eggs and candy, and come is an increased awareness of the importance and significance of this time of year. In college my Institute teacher embedded within me a deep respect and love for the Jewish traditions that…

As of late I have been having a ball singing. I love practicing for hours and hours. And when I’m not singing myself I find myself listening to singing, watching operas, developing character analysis for my songs. . . I’m just soaking it in.

In honor I planted my mixed greens,romaine lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, broccoli, swiss chard, and peas! (Thanks Dad for the seeds)

I liked the man the minute I saw him. He had that radiating warmth, and the “I don’t take myself seriously” air. His lanky legs were accentuated by long pointed shoes, making him look something like an elf. His fluffy hair combined with his long bent nose told of his Jewish ancestry, his eyes twinkled.…

Last week I was very fortunate to be able to return home for a ten day visit. The week flew by filled with soccer games, horse shows, more soccer games, board games, organizing, horse lessons, eagle court of honors, and general family fun. I returned feeling very emotional. I was happy to return to my…

Ariadne auf Naxos was a wonderful success. Both casts did beautifully. I’m happy to report that I was able to sing my part with confidence and poise. This week has made me all the more grateful for my new technique which has given me greater freedom of expression, and has allowed me to be more…
