Adventures in Technology's Troubled Twisty Turns

An epic event occurred today in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada.  No, the provincial treasurer didn't find the $200 missing billions, trillions or otherwise gazillions needed to bring about economic health in Alberta.  Nor did the Happy Financial Future Angel deposit herself in my bank account.  What then, what could have happened that was so earth shattering that you are reading it here?  I found out how to push the correct buttons for creating a template, coloring it green (to match that new camera that is on its way from Kansas) and I also found my way HERE!  Here, where I can post anything and everything because technology smiled at me, will be my very own blog.
  
My niece, a talented artist, also smiled on me from afar, guiding my piano playing fingers through osmosis of some sort.  In this town, there are others who have learned through osmosis, so I thought that I might try it, and how it worked! Step by step, key by key, she led me to Singing With Ellyn, my very own blog!  (Well, I did get a little help from my son who gave me this technical marvel a Christmas or two ago).  And what do they say about relatives?  

Through technical twists and turns and spits and spurts, you will hopefully see pictures of my wonderful singing students, present and past, you will read all of the musical notes from my voice studio here in the north, and you may even meet my 4 cats.  (Every eccentric music teacher has a cat, but I have 4, just to be different).

Speaking of cats - chow time for Teddy - at least, that's what I think he wants.  Not a bad idea for me, either.
