Their dog is a lot like our old family dog--before they had these designer breeds.  Ours was a mix of a poodle
and a german shepherd.  We got it from gas station man as owner was in jail.  So cute! Animals don't say
hurtful words that challenge your self-esteem.

In my last post I showed a photo of something "Not the Club Lounge" because I had lost the original web photo ad.

I went to a great new-age conference here, and I thought that staying in a fancy hotel like this would blot out the
memory of other fancy hotels I did not get to:

Not the Club Lounge

But although the conference was fantastic, fun and life-changing, basically old wine in new wine-skins, in a good way(!)

I was surprised at how lonely I felt without Sven.  Maybe it was just a day too long but the classes were so good!
Anyway, I think I got some good shots of the hotel(please click on them to see in proper large size):

My song is called "Impossible to Know" about how a two year-old, four years ago, said "Why" a lot:

This is too low for my voice range--but you might get  kick out of the chorus!

Wow! It had been a while since I/d seen such a big audience(in truth you can't really see them with the lights down)
and we were only eight women; I had not tried to memorize anything seriously since the seventies in high school so my question was, "Would I freeze and not even recall which song I was supposed to be singing?" Or something like that.  But it was OK!
In the video my husband took, I looked  a little on the serious side while our conductor spoke briefly, but Sven assured me it's nice for me to be serious once in a while because usually I'm just so silly!

Our songs were:

1) "Prayer of the Children" about kids in the Bosnian War-- but shadowing ourselves to highlight a slide-show of
Haitian children served by Mustard Seed, a group of volunteer doctors who visit Haiti twice a year to treat people in remote villages, pro bono. 

Next was 2) "Stand By Me", a reference to the Playing For Change world-wide additive mix you can find on YouTube:
