Kjirsti & Tom

I have recently taken up posting on my home blog again, (now that I am working on the house again.) For those who enjoyed following our progress last summer, feel free to check “Our Playhouse Blog” which can be accessed by the link on the sidebar.

The last few days have been productive. Monday I had a terrific voice practice and lesson. Things I’ve learned this week in my practice: I need to tuck my hips in order to get a proper breath. Think that my torso is short. Let the breath and abs do their thing before I start the…

I finally put up our decorative plate from Mexico. What do you think?
