Last Weekend of April Recap
It's the start of another week. How did that happen? I have been battling with Walmart for two weeks trying to get these ultra cheap pots I need for the clematis and I'll be danged if they don't sell out in minutes before they can even get to my order. I can't go paying top dollar for these things and I have an "oops" coupon for them coming to a close that I need to use. If not, I'll have to poke around the two other stores we have freebies for but I don't think they're as cheap so I can't get as many. Apparently ALL of the gardeners are chompin' at the bit to get stuff planted this year. May I please get my 4 pots and y'all can have the rest? 😝 We have blown through season after season of Alone for like a week and a half. I know we're late to the party but has anyone else watched that? I have to say my brain feels like I could do it to some degree. The things I say they should be doing or thinking about in the beginning...
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
