Hand Bell Ringers

Last Sunday, (December 11th), Dave and I got a chance to finally see my friend Karen and her group, (the Utah Valley Hand Bell Choir) perform at the Springville Art Museum.  Karen is the founder, (18 years ago), and one of the directors of this marvelous group. 
 They perform only a few times a year, (Easter, 4th of July, and Christmas).  Most of their performances are at Christmas.  They are all volunteers and they are excellent performers.  If you get the chance, I would highly recommend going to see one of their performances, and buy one of their CDs. A very professional group!  And everyone of them also play another instrument.

Karen and her husband Neil have vacationed with Dave and I a couple of times and they are such a fun couple - we laugh so much when we are with them.  We are so glad we finally got the chance to hear Karen's group.  They are in high demand during the holidays, and this performance was sold out.

    Ok... so there is so much I want to say...
    Great job to Karen for her group and accomplishments. What a talent!
    It also reminds me of when we were given tickets to a bell ringing and thought it was the whole Orchestra at Temple Square! Boy were we mistaken... and due to that reason alone were we a little disappointed!
    Also, I like the dig about traveling with your friends... I see where we stand in your family's eyes! We even lit the menorah!!!

    And the only time you can make it by to see our house is when you knew we were out of town. What does that say?
