Choral reading – My First Farm

Song with shakers – Grandpa’s Farm

Bubbles

Toys and Balls

I forgot to do "May there always be sunshine" so I played it on CD during bubbles and a grandma said she missed singing the song. My voice was pretty shot after Alabama, Mississippi - I forgot to bring my water - so maybe it was just as well. It is nice that she told me - I will do it next week.
