"THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SKYLAB RETURNS"

A bit of history on this day by Miss G Little House of Music.
July 11, 1979 the abandoned United States space station "Skylab" made a spectacular return to earth, burning up in the atmosphere and showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Australia.
How you know the rest of the story!

"MEET OUR RISING "STAR" MISS SIOBHAN"

This student is a "Sweetie Pie!" Look at that beautiful natural curly hair, what I'd do for hair like that! Hi, this is Miss G with Little House of Music and I'm really enjoying coaching Siobhan. She is always prepared and so very eager to learn. Hardly took her any time and she was in the next level of playing. Plus Siobhan has a wonderful, fun personality. You Go Girl!
Siobhan just got back from a weeks vacation in South Carolina and still knew her songs. Now that's a GREAT student!
Other than playing the piano and becoming a pianist Siobhan plays soccer and tennis and of course loves to swim. Her best pal in the world is her dog Deeohge! Isn't that a precious name for a dog?
Siobhan will be in the fifth grade and is double digit 10 years old. What a future lies before her. She is the kind of child that you already know will
succeed in anything she puts her mind to. I personally know she is not very far from becoming a real live "Pianist!"
Remember, behind every great child are great parents and Siobhan has two wonderful parents. You Go Mom and Dad!
I Love You Siobhan, keep up the good work!

"DON'T WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH?"

Miss G with Little House of Music. My son is a sports agent for track and field and goes all over the world. Chris says that everywhere he goes just about everyone speaks English. When Lore came to visit me from Belgium she could speak English, Dutch (Flemish), German and French. When we have the freedom of speech why don't we Americans learn other languages?
I do believe that anyone that becomes a US citizen should be able to speak English but if I went to France to visit I wouldn't know a thing they were saying and I studied French for eight years! I only learned how to conjugate every verb! I think our school systems should do a much better job of teaching our children to speak other languages instead of how to conjugate a verb!
I think we Americans should stop being so lazy and learn other languages. After all we live in a country that has Freedom of Speech!
I'm going to get my French dictionary out! I also studied Russian for three years and can't pronoun one word correctly!
I just might soon write a blog in French!

"MISS G'S PINKISH-PURPLE PERIWINKLE PLANT"

"PLANTS ARE REALLY NATURE'S BEST CHEMISTS."
Go ahead and try to say that five times in a row! "Pinkish-Purple Periwinkle Plant!" This is Miss G with Little House of Music and I didn't realize until I searched the web that my Periwinkle plants are very important plants. The birds must carry the seeds all over the yard and drop them because I have different color periwinkles everywhere in my yard and I love them. Periwinkles have been cultivated since ancient times.
The common name of plants in two related genera in the Apocyraceae family, Catharanthus and Vinca Minor!
The related Madagascar Periwinkle (Catharanthus Roseus) produces chemicals that prevent the division of cells and are used to treat "LEUKAEMIA!" Are you believing this? Very, very COOL! I have always thought that there is something on our earth to cure every illness, we just have to fine it!
I was just going to show you my plant until I found all this interesting information on the periwinkle.
Enjoy! Stay tuned for more plant information!

"MISS G HAS AN ART QUOTE FOR YOU TODAY!"

No music quote today from Miss G at Little House of Music. I have a dear friend who is a Artists and an Art Teacher in York, Pennsylvania, Mr. Nelson. When Nelson writes me an e-mail he always has a quote from a famous Artist. This is his new one.

"THE PURPOSE OF ART IS WASHING THE DUST OF DAILY LIKE OFF OUR SOULS."
Pablo Picasso

Enjoy!

"MISS G FROM BELGIUM TO HAWAII AND HER TIME ZONE CHART"

This is really funny but I need it. This is Miss G with Little House of Music and if I talking to Lore in Belgium or Madison in Hawaii and we are discussing our next call I get all confused! So I made myself a time zone chart so it's a lot easier for me to figure out when we are going to talk to each other the next time. This picture is not my time zone chart but mine looks about like this one!
I had a handle on calling Lore in Belgium but now since I have Madison in Hawaii and they are both six hours difference from me, but six hours both ways I get totally confused. Do I add six hours or do I subtract six hours?
I now have it all under control and we are using Spyke which I highly recommend to everyone. All you need is a microphone and a camera, (about $50.00) for your computer and not only can you talk to friends and family everywhere you can also see them! It's so cool especially when you have your own time zone chart!
Look into Spyke, you'll love it!

"MISS G'S FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE IN FLORIDA"

Hi, this is Miss G with Little House of Music and I have lived in "Paradise," the state of Florida since July, 1990. If I would have had any sense at all I would have been born here!
My first Christmas in Florida in 1990 my Aunt Faye purchased a little three inch Norfolk Pine tree from Walmart with Christmas decorations on it for $2.99.
Yes, the pictures you are seeing is that same tree I purchased 18 years ago. Are you believing this? When I look at that tree I can't believe my eyes. From the size of it one would think that I planted it 60 years ago.
Every time I look at it I smile and still see my little three inch tree that was my Christmas tree 18 years ago and remember the wonderful Christmas we all had here in Florida.Thank you Aunt Faye for this big beautiful tree!
There is a very good lesson to be learned by that little Christmas tree. The day I arrived in Flordia I did not know one person! When you start over in life just believe in yourself and work hard and the world becomes yours. When I think of all the people I've met and all the friends I have here now, I feel stronger than my tree.
Enjoy my tree and Merry Christmas!
