The list of piano pieces I strive for has grown by one....marvelous feel to this piece, "The Countess Cathleen", from "Riverdance".....

Amazing, Beautiful Song....
....theme song from Turner Classic Movie's "31 Day of Oscar". There are times when music moves within your soul and fills it all the way to the top.
For me, this is such a song.
For me, this is such a song.

Disney World Trip - Post #3 - Glasses....3D & Otherwise
Some of the best Disney World offerings are their 3D shows. And the best part of the pre-shows? Trying on and posing with the fabulous 3D glasses they provide.
And, of course, what would a trip to Orlando be without lots of cool shades?

Daylight Saving Time....At Long Last....
I recently found an interesting web site filled with wonderful information regarding Daylight Saving Time...which begins today.
This extra hour of daylight signals the long awaited emergence of Spring. Now is the time when I bring out my garden plans from past seasons, checking to see what was successful and what was not. This year though, changes are on the horizon.
As Bill and I grow older we look towards lower maintenance and less labor intensive plantings. Thoreau said, "Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplify, simplify!". That, I think, will be the focus of our gardens this year.
I will incorporate into our plan a Victory Garden. Rising produce costs, and the promise of fresh from the garden fruits and vegetables, make a Victory Garden a sensible and sumptuous inclusion.
My garden layout, planting charts, and colored pencils are at the ready. Daylight Saving Time plus brand new garden plans....a natural paring.
What fun lies ahead....
