First actual website!!

If you click on the title to this post, it will take you to my very first ever website!!! I am so excited about it and the conference it is promoting. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I guess I am a Redneck!!

We have enjoyed the red neck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those.

You might be a redneck if:

It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'

You might be a redneck if:

You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if:

You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if:

You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if:

You stand and & place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if:

You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have and always will.

You might be a redneck if:

You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to.

You might be a redneck if:

You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if:

You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if:

You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

A savings of about $130 bucks!!!!

So, I teach piano lessons to two little girls. One of them is getting pretty far in a book and the book starts her on the pedals of the piano. The problem is, she is about 8 inches too short!

So, I looked and looked to see if i could find a pedal extender. Here is a couple of the ones I found. (Foot Pedal Stool) (Foot Pedal Stool) (Pedal Extentions).

So, the stools are about $120-$150 or the extentions are $75. I looked at them and thought "I can do something like that on my own... so... here is what I made.

I know!! Really really primative... but it works... Really it does! I am going to put a shoe box sized box under it so her foot has something to rest on.

I thought it was fun making it. Fairly easy too. a 2x2 cut about 8 inches. A 1x2 cut and sanded to the shape of a pedal. then a noch cut in the 2x2 for the clamps. I drilled some holes in the 2x2 and the back of the pedal and glued dowels into the back of the pedal and glued that into the 2x2. It is all glued together and works like a charm!!! :)
