Aloha!!

Greetings from Hawai'i! I'm loving this warm weather (although it was warm when I left Chicago too!), and the scenery is beautiful. I'll have lots of photos to share, but here's one to hold everyone over.

Today I'm competing with my chorus at the Sweet Adelines International convention! If you're online today, watch us at 3:05pm Honolulu time (7:05 central):

Grand Rapids with the Melodeers

A few weekends ago I ventured up to Grand Rapids, MI for the annual Region 3 Sweet Adelines competition (women's barbershop). We swept the competition with the highest score in Sweet Adeline history! Wahoo! We're now off to Hawaii next fall for the international convention.

A little fun during hair and makeup checks (I was up at 6 that morning to put on stage makeup.... oif - too early)


We were all donned with leis for the party


Our fabulous director, Jim, running in with our trophy!




My tasty dessert


There were plenty of leis for the husbands too!
