Sometimes simple is best. Here is a guy and his piano, nothing more. This video was recorded live in 2007. Ricky performs his Angels We Have Heard on High. The piano is the one he often mentions in his lectures that went through the 1979 Wichita Falls, TX tornado - and still has the scars to prove it.

Post your holiday memory today - go here.

While in Houston for the quilt show, Alex ran into a wonderful nine-year old, Lexis, who had volunteered to be a "white glover," someone who is allowed to touch the quilts and lets us view the back of thems.  She has quite a passion for quilting and sewing as you'll soon see by clicking on her picture.

"In the tomb of Princess
Isinkheb was found an entire
tent- its inside lined with
animals and flowers, the blue
ceiling studded with appliqued stars..."

Join Pam Holland as she once again lets us take a peek into another world as she visits with the Tentmakers of Cairo.  Pam was at the Australian Quilt Convention and the men were making the applique interior of tents that are used in the desert.  Pam says, "I couldn't believe the beauty of these quilts... to be honest, the stitching was large and the fabric thick cotton, but I bought one for my son for his door. It was a pattern taken from the door of a famous mosque. Just amazing."

- and the ancient Egyptian craft of tent making is still alive today. Just click on the picture to see the tentmaker's in action.
