Re-arranging church stage, haven't seen kids

These are two separate topics in the title of this post ... me missing my kids is not related to our band re-arraging the church stage! Natasha went out of town Tuesday and Wednesday of this week with the kids to transport to Dallas and hang / mount a large painting she did for her dad's new pottery shop he's opening. Monday night was the last time I've seen the kids. Was very strangely quiet in the house Tuesday night with no one but me there.

Darren, Wes, David Hart, and Dale met last night at the church to move all of the instruments around. For the last year or so, we'd had our instruments arranged on stage in a way where I couldn't communicate with Darren, our leader. This might be less important if we planned our songs ahead of time and practiced before services a lot. But since we sort of wing everything, it's helpful to be able to communicate!

So we took down the banister and moved all of the instruments off the stage, see interim photo here:

Then we put them back up in better positions and put the banister back in. See photo of the way it is now:


The new setup allows me to communicate during services much better with Darren without having to revert to semaphore.
