TV Shows

This past weekend, in between concerts in OR, I managed to record a TV show for the Country Gospel Riny Horst show - 3 actually - and one was for a Christmas program. It's shown throughout the country, perhaps you've heard of it. If I was really on the ball, I would have had my camera to take a picture and all that, but it was all I could do to just show up and leave on time so I could make it to my next gig, remember my words, and make myself presentable (I had to change my clothes 3 times). I tend to forget the details when I have bigger fish to fry. So, I will share with you a photo that was taken at a gig earlier this month. The mother of this beautiful baby sent this to me so it was no work on my part. This is Cecelia Eisenbacher. It was a joy to hold such a tiny one again. My youngest is now 3.

No More Satelite

Today we turned off our satellite service and no longer have any TV. Not that we watched it that much anyway. We got tired of paying for something we rarely used and were looking for ways to cut back. I'm going to miss my occasional fix of "The Nanny" my favorite show. I love the show for every reason. I always laugh out loud many times an episode and I feel so at home with the manerisms, being raised from parents from NY city who grew up with Jewish neighbors and learned alot of of the lingo, etc. About once a week, we'd watch The Glenn Beck show on Fox but we can see that on the internet. The kids only watched the science show, The Zula Patrol, once a week during lunch, so that's the only thing they will miss. So we move on...

Trip to NY

Ok. I just got back from a PACKED, working trip to NY. I remembered my camera so I could document and share the trip with YOU. There is too much for me to do in one sitting, but I will do a little every day or so. (Well, we'll see.)

The first stop was to my mom's cousin. We stayed with her (thank you, Fran) and got a bad key to the front door. So after getting lost to Trader Joe's the next morning (got to have my health food) and getting back late to the house to change to get ready for my Telecare taping of the sung rosary - we couldn't get in. I was kicking myself for thinking that a taping of the rosary was going to be a breeze and for not remembering the spiritual battle. We had to run around like crazy people to get the spare key, throw make-up on, dress and drive. Since I always leave EXTRA time when driving in NY (an extra hour is a good cushion) I got there with a few minutes to eat lunch, get acquainted and start shooting. But the Bishop had to come and tape a message last minute so I got pushed back an hour or two, because he was stuck in traffic and we couldn't start until he was done. I sang ALL 20 DECADES of the rosary that day. That's 4 programs and 4 outfit changes. And except for the teleprompter going out and being replaced (another 30 min.) it went very well. We ended much later than expected, but the crew were troopers. They all left like a shot when we were done, though, at about 7:30 pm. Whew! An hour drive back to the house out on Long Island and I was done. What a productive day! Thank you, Jesus!!
