Be Their Voice ...

Remember our friend Holly ? Remember a couple of years ago I asked you all to vote for her in a contest she had entered ? And then I told you about when Rory and I went to The Fray concert and HOLLY was AMAZING as one of the opening artists ?

Well just the other night she was a part of BE THEIR VOICE: a musical evening to benefit LOVE 146 with The Fray, Churchill and Jeremy Ashida. We didn't get to go since it wasn't in AUSTRALIA ! But my cousin Pam went and she said it was GREAT !!!

Thanks to the internet though, we got to see some of it.

Here's a little taste .....

Holly and The Fray

Remember our friend Holly ? Remember back at the end of last year I asked you all to vote for her in a contest she had entered ? Saturday night Rory and I went to The Fray concert and you'll never guess who was one of the opening artists. Ok ... you guessed it ! HOLLY !!! She was AMAZING !!!



Rory and I had a blast at the concert. We always do, not that we go to many ... but we really should. We say that every time we go to one !! Rory's brother Roger was with us and a bunch of people we know from church were there so we stood near them. Yeah ... stood !! For hours ! It was standing room only ! I got lucky and got to sit on a railing for the hour and a half that the Fray played but poor Rory had to stand the entire time !

Anyhoo ... I am rambling. I should stop. I have a special treat for you ... A song by Holly. And not just a song ... a video. Sit back, relax, enjoy the song. She's got a website too if you want to go tell her how much you loved it once you've listened !! There's also a FREE downloadable (my spell checker doesn't like that word ...) song available for you ! FREE, people. FREE !!! Go get it !!

PS ... The Fray was pretty good too ...

Sharing Perspective

I've been wanting to get the kids digital camera's for about 12 months ! Maybe longer. We finally decided to do it, found a great price and got them each one. We gave them to them on Jono's birthday. They are so excited ! They click click click photos of everything. Jono has taken so many videos that his memory card is full !

So ... I'm going to start a new series. I call it "Perspective : The World As My Kids See It ... " I will post photos SOOC ( straight out of camera ). I'm not going to crop or change the color or anything. Eventually, when we get them a decent computer, I will teach them to do that but for now, we'll stick with the photos raw !

These two were both taken by Alia. That's me and Grandma in the photo above. I think it's funny that most of the photos I take of the kids are 'looking down' ( unless I get on my knees ... ) but this one is 'looking up' ... obviously, a different height therefore, a different perspective !!

Here's me and Uncle Rog ( Rory's brother ) listening to Holly's song and placing my vote for the day ! Have you voted ?? You know you can do it every day, right ?! Only 9 days left 'til the competition closes !

Go vote ... you'll be helping make a dream come true !!

Sharing Music

This is our friend Holly. An amazing singer/song writer who has entered a contest. Today we found out that out of hundreds of entries, she has made it into the top 10 !!! How cool is that ? Yeah, I know, right !?Even more cool is that the judging for the top 10 was done by a panel of music industry judges.

Now, however, it's all up to VOTES !!

First thing I suggest you do is listen to her song ! You'll love it. I think, like me, you might just walk around humming it for hours after you've heard it !!
