School House Rocks LIVE! Jr.

Remember the School House Rocks cartoons that interrupted your Saturday morning cartoons? If you said yes, then you are probably showing your age like I (Pam) am! Cordell and Ryan were in Fine Linen Drama's production of School House Rocks LIVE! Jr. in October.
Here is the blue group singing a great song, but I have already forgotten which one it was. Maybe the "Do the Circulation" ? This is why it is always better to post about these things right after they happen instead of waiting 4 months!
Remember this one? "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill" Well it's a long long journey to the capitol city, it's a long, long wait while I'm sitting in committee, but I know I'll be a law someday!"

"Interplanet Janet she's a galaxy girl, a solar system Ms. from a future world. She travels like a rocket with her comet team, and there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen..."
"Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses. Conjuction Junction, how's that function? I got three favorite cars that get most of my job done..." Yes, that is Cordell in the hat.
"Oh yeah!"
The Preamble
"In 1787 I'm told, our founding fathers all sat down, and wrote a list of principles that's known the world around. The USA was just starting out, a whole brand new country, and so our people spelled it out. They wanted a land of liberty. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Ryan is the tall one in the picture below.
"Three is a magic number. 3,6,9, 12, 15,18,21,24,27,30!"
"Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (Ouch!) or emotion (Yow!)
They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamtion point,
or by a comma if the feeling's not too strong...."

New Faces on the Farm...

This is Max, Ryan's puppy. He actually was born in September, but I liked this picture of him asleep under the Christmas tree.Max is about 4 months old in this picture with Ryan.
Here is our new Angus bull, Brutus. He is about 6 years old, and we are hoping the cows will think he is a good addition to the farm!
This is Darcy, a 20 yr. old Tennessee Walking Horse. Walter's cousin is letting us try him out to see if we like him. So far he seems pretty mellow and doesn't mind our inexperience too much.
