Remembrance
This is an emotional weekend, filled with memories. It is Mother's Day, and it is also decoration where my parents, brother, mom's parents and most of my aunts and uncles and cousins are buried.
The act of putting silk flowers on a grave doesn't do the dead any good, but it is all about remembrance. As I place those flowers on graves tomorrow, I will roam memory lane freely.
After all, when those we love make their final transformation their memories are what we cling to and embrace.
Rick and I will also be performing at the local Horse Creek Arts Festival tomorrow afternoon.
It will be a busy weekend.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams and thank you all so much for the anniversary wishes.

A life time
Forty-two years, a life time together as of today...and people said it would not last. There have been great times, good times, and rough times, but we have clung together. I know we won't have another forty-two years, but maybe if the universe is kind, we will have a life time.

No Place Like Home
No place like home. A friend that had been away for some time has come home and I saw her today.
We both agreed there is no place like home.
Home is not necessarily where you are from, it's where you feel at home. Many leave their home town and never look back, while others can't wait to return. Sometimes more than one place feels like home. For me, Ireland felt like home, but so did Telluride, Colorado and Sedona.
Home can be New York City or Empire, Alabama. It doesn't really matter as long as it's your home.
Some people stay in a place all their lives and it never feels like home, others can be somewhere for an hour and think of it as home.
Rick and I wrote a love song, "I Consider You Home". In the song we talk about "home can be anywhere you are". Being with the person you love truly can make any place feel more like home.
We once lived in a Howard Johnson's for almost a year, crazy as it sounds, it was home because we were there together.
I think it is safe to say, regardless of where you are, if it feels like home, there is no place like home.

Monday Musings
Classes today ran the gamut, from very basic beginner, to chakra balancing to flows. Some days everyone gets the same class, other days I go by instinct and teach what I think the group needs.
Storms have hovered all afternoon, I love hearing the rain, but the lightening and thunder can be uncomfortable for many when they try to relax. The dogs were going crazy when we made it home tonight because of the thunder, Calliou does not enjoy storms.
My back is still acting wonky so I am going to see the local chiropractor later in the week. It feels great when I am moving or teaching or walking, but the minute I sit down in the car or on the sofa,
everything stiffens up. This aging stuff is not fun.
My cup of tea is waiting, wishing you all this first week of May, plenty of sunshine and warm weather and lots of spring flowers.

Jamming on the Square
We got an unusual request while we were playing yesterday, the stage manager came up between songs and told us a friend of his who was an awesome harmonica player, was really loving our music and asked if she could play a song with us. He assured us of her talent.
We chose a song that we felt she could follow us on and invited her up. She was awesome!
Gloria was one of the most talented harmonica players we have ever met. Too bad she doesn't live near us. Talented and really sweet lady, thanks for playing with us. By the way, remember we are singer/songwriters, we do all original music, she had never heard the song and rocked it.
