Anything You Can Do...



So, we had a "Provident Living" Talent Show for Enrichment this past month. Molly Johnson and I thought it would be funny to do a slightly unique singing number. We got the sheet music to the song "Anything You Can Do" from Annie Get Your Gun and changed some of the words around. It was a blast to do this number, and Molly was a total delight to perform with. I honestly feel that our roles should have been switched---she is amazing! This video is the last few moments of the song. We have been asked to do this number again at our Stake Relief Society training meeting this fall. :) I'm looking forward to singing it again.

I was totally cracking up reading this.

That's an adorable song Jean--did you both write it together? I can't believe we're related. I wouldn't think to do that in front of people in a million years, but it's fantastic!! I sure wish I had more of that outgoing-ness!

Jean!! What a hit we were :)!
You have talent oozing from every pore, so it was definitely my privilege to perform with you.
Fun to do it again in the fall!
