Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.

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!

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
