By the way, Az zajde slunce is either funeral song, or people sometimes sing it for the beginning or ending of Sabbath. I did not realize it, although we always sang it at the funeral, but this song is in English, and when I wanted to sing it at Weimar, they told me no, because it is funeral.

Can we start a folder with just the names of the songs, there are so many entries that I am getting really confused by the selection of songs, so if we could all put our suggestions in a folder, then we could see it better, and thus choose them better as well.

As far as the sheet music I have. I have a great arrangement for God will make a way, it is a quarter, I think it is pretty. It is like 10 or 12 pages. And then I have a hymnal song medley, and the harmonies are very unusual and cool, I could fax it, maybe to Ika, so she could look at it and give you guys second opinion.

Also, I am not sure if there was a misunderstanding, but when I was reading through the entries, I think someone said that In the Presence was an old song, but I think that people who suggested that song meant In the Presence of Jehovah, which is completely different song, actually quite nice, as far as quartet in the chorus.

As far as the laundry, I think it is excellent idea. Especially the ones who do not have children should probably try to bring enough clothes, so that we don't do laundry, those who have children might have also limited space in their luggages to bring anything extra anyways, so I am totally willing to bring enough, (Hey we all colpourted anyways, and we did laundry only once a week, or sometimes once in two weeks.)

I can't wait to see all of you, and also your babies. You know, the last time we saw each other we were 16 and now, if all of us siblings will be able to make with all of our the families, the head count will be 22. I think that's great.

I have been thinking about one thing, I really feel bad that we were not there for Dad's 60th birthday. I was wondering, how could we make him feel special? Should we have a dinner with him too, separately, of course, because I don't think mom would appreciate him at hers. What do you guys think, I really want to see him when I am there, but I don't want him to think that we prefer mom over him.

I am praying for you Ika and Johnny and boys, I don't have TV and don't read news, so I did not know, so I hope everything is okay.

We have been having snow storms, and I have not been able to get to work already three times because of the weather conditions. One night I got cought in one of the storms, after visiting my pastor's wife. I thought I will not make it home. I could not see the road, and I think it was only by the grace of God that I got home. So all of you be safe. They say that Washington state had the worst winter in last 30-40 years. So you can see the weather is not fun. But it is warming up.

I think the idea of one song for kids is just great. I think that if all the parents will work with their kids, and help them memorize, that it might mean to our mom more than anything else. Are you guys going to do it in Czech or English.

Rene, I thought you thought I was going to TN in April, it wasn't me who wrote that entry. However, I have not heard another mention of that practice again. I could possibly take time off from work, and fly, but I was thinking about it, if we practice then, you know there will be so many changes since then, I was thinking that end of the summer might be even better, but that's just my suggestion about it.

I miss you all, I really am jealous especially of those who can see each other more often than me, but I will get over it, because I will see you all this Thanksgiving. I better start saving money and create an account just for this trip :-)) Otherwise the money will just go. Have you realized how much it will cost each family. Man, my mom will get really expensive gift :-)).

I better go. I had a root canal today, and I am still numb from all the numbing stuff that Dr. gave me, so if I don't make sense, that's the explanation.,,,,....
