I've discovered "The Piano guys"

"Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables is one of my ALL TIME favorite songs.  It fills me with love and makes me cry EVERY TIME I hear it.  Now I've discovered the Piano Guys have done it for youtube. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I'm also including the recording by Alfie Boe for the 25th Aniversary Concert.

And the the very best is the almost always the origional Colm Wikinson .

 John Owen James is Heavenly.

Last but not least  Jamie Pough semi-finalist on Britian's Got Talent.  Here is is again on his debut album
 Bring Him home album .

2012 Pottery

I tried my hand at pottery again...I don't seem to like it as much this time...I feel rushed because I won't be here to finish the class.  I made some hand shaped items; CTR necklaces and magnets for my Primary class. 
 I also tried leaf plaques.  And I threw a bowel and mug. 
 Here's a look at them.  Pat

Be Honest With Yourself

While growing up in the 1950's and 1960's I remember some posters that impacted my life for the good. These posters help form my early in sense of right and wrong. They were posted in our LDS foyer on the bulletin board. I found some imagesof them on the Internet today and thought I would post them to see if they are familiar to you as well. I recall reading stories and quotes that were on the back of them. They were even passed out (postcard sized) at MIA to individuals who wanted them.
