What I'm Reading This Week #28
Hello and Happy Friday my beautiful peeps! Well, I guess I'm glad we did the tree last weekend because just as we were getting ready to leave Monday for a nursery field trip, the HOA maintenance dude shows up- no call, no email, just hoping we were home with no real knowledge of what needed to be done. He chatted with the Mr, did a few caulks and took pics to get it submitted for siding replacement. After that we got on the road to go to this big nursery. Am I the only one that sweats off their sunscreen in sheets?? I swear I probably looked like I was having a stroke to passersby. So I bought some powder sunscreen for our faces hoping that will help. I was bummed this one great powder foundation I used years ago isn't around anymore since it had built in spf so I hope this stuff is comparable. Did a lot of stuff in the garden and it cracks me up how such a small space can take up so much of my time when I have chores to do. The Mr's ban...
Omg music appreciation, brings back some memories. Our prof was tough. You had to get the name, movement, composer name AND spelling correct. Listen to the tapes day and night and barely got a c. Only thing I remember is Eine Kleine Nachtmuzik and I hear it all the time!
ReplyDeleteI did not develop an appreciation for classical music lol.
I've always enjoyed classical music, which I inherited from my mom. I remember when I was young and her telling me about the spectrum of emotions the music could conjure without one word spoken. I have it on in my car often. I bought some cd's for when I'd take my client to appts and to just drive around. The music was incredibly soothing for him because it helped to unclutter his mind, as he has dementia. He'd want to keep driving places so we could keep listening to the music and he'd pat my arm every time and say thank you. Those have been the only times I've seen real relaxation and contentment in him.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy classical music but I was actually not exposed to it much from family as a kid so I'm not sure how I heard it other than Looney Tunes. I did take music appreciation class as well and learned to respect it more at that point but I do think Looney Tunes was good for this kid!
ReplyDeleteYup! Played violin in school all the way from elementary (3rd grade) through college - and some community stuff throughout. Gave it up as arthritis made it painful. Married a classically trained pianist who ended up a software architect. But we still love the classics
