It is my solemn vow to get these tomatoes finished today. Seriously. I am going to get completely done. At least until the next batch comes through the door. I hope to concentrate the rest of this week on a different vegetable. This week I want to make pickles. Lots and lots of pickles. Whole ones, spears, chips, dill, sweet, bread and butter, cubes. In other words, all of them. Now I just have to get the cucumbers.
The thing is, I could get a lot more done if I could stay off of the computer. But I think of something I need to look up so I come look it up and the next thing I know 30 minutes are gone. Then I will think of something I needed to research, like how to buy musical instruments and another hour is gone. Then I have to check my e-mail, and my facebook, and my twitter. And well, I just end up staying in front of the computer for most of the day.
Oh, you wanted to know why I wanted to know how to buy musical instruments. Well, I have decided I want to learn how to play the guitar. I have really always wanted to learn to play. I want to sit by a bonfire, roast marshmallows and play the guitar and invite everyone over that I know. Bric says I just need to stick to cooking for everyone that I know, that they would be much happier that way. Phooey on him is what I say!

A Second Language is No Big Thing When All You Have to Do to Learn is Sing!
Master Communications has a set of new Interactive DVD’s that teaches Bilingual Skills Through Songs making learning a fun and easy experience for children ages 3 and older. Sing and Learn Spanish, Sing and Learn More Spanish and Sing and Learn English will be released on DVD March 23, 2010 from Master Communications. They also feature other languages in the Sing and Learn series such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.
The DVD’s are designed to engage your child in the learning experience so that it holds their interest and sparks their desire to watch over and over again making learning Spanish easier than ever before. Music and songs have often played an important role in the educational development of young children. And with the growing importance and relevance of knowing a second language, particularly Spanish, in today’s multicultural society, it’s never been a more crucial time to learn. It’s also never been easier thanks to Sing and Learn Spanish, Sing and Learn More Spanish and Sing and Learn English.
Sing and Learn is an engaging and effective tool, whether teaching a second language – in this case, Spanish – or preserving it as a native language at home. Developed by Agnes Chavez, a language expert, teacher and producer of Spanish DVDs, the DVDs have been proven to teach Spanish to children the fun and easy way. Children are constantly exposed to multicultural rhythms from around the world and Sing and Learn capitalizes on that, bringing Salsa, Cumbia and Ranchera music to life in these videos while showing youngsters engaged in fun, everyday activities.
In Sing and Learn Spanish, children learn about Los Animales (Animals); Del Jardín (From the Garden); Mi Casa (My House); ¿Qué Hacen? (What Do They Do?); ¿Qué Tiene tu Cuerpo? (What Does Your Body Have?); ¿Qué Buscas? (What Are You Looking For?); ¿Adónde Vas? (Where Are You Going?); and ¿Cuál Es? (Which is it?).
In Sing and Learn More Spanish, lessons include Recuerdan (Remember); ¿Cómo es tu Familia? (What is Your Family Like?); ¿Para qué ir a la Escuela? (Why Do We Go to School?); ¿Te Gusta la Naturaleza? (Do You Like Nature?); ¿Cómo Anda la Gente? (How Do People Get Around?); ¿Qué Quieres Ser? (What Do You Want to Be?); ¿ Quieres ir a la Ciudad? (Do You Want to Go to the City?); and Aprendimos (We Learned).
In Sing and Learn English, chapters include Animals, From the Garden, My House, What Do They Do? What Does Your Body Have?, What Are You Looking For?, Where Are You Going? Which is it? Toe-tapping music accompanies each segment and exposes little ears to different kinds of musical styles. Young learners can use Sing and Learn English to brush up on early reading skills.
Sing and Learn titles are appropriate for children ages three and older and have running times of approximately 27 minutes each. SRP is $19.99 for each title in the series. For more information or to order DVDs, call 1-800-765-5885 or visit www.master-comm.com.
