hello

[mrs617]

This has been a Long Week. I'm not used to the evening shift, and I had it four days. I closed tonight, and will open tomorrow. That's getting off at 7:15 and starting up again at 6:30. Then I have a meeting on Saturday...I will not be staying up late tonight, no how.

I hadn't even been thinking about my Beautiful Things posts today, and I got hit by a few of them! *beams*

# 5: Fugues...there's something soothing about music that is predictable in a melodic way, especially if it is Bach.

# 6: Technology...being able to instantly connect with folks far away...

# 7: Hair color...it might sound funny, but I think it's amazing that so many colors go into one person's 'real hair color'. Unless it's dyed, nobody has just one hair color. I have black, brown, red, white....

# 8: Unexpected mail from a Bookend! (well, expected is great too...)

# 9: Home and family. *happy sigh* I'm so blessed!

Seems like there should be lots of things to tell you that happened this week, but no. Just the normal stuff. I helped make bread this morning. I love kneading bread. I get to cut hair tomorrow...I think my brain is shutting down. :)

Good night!

Edit: I nearly forgot! # 10 Rainbird sprinklers...I don't know what it is, but that's got to be one of the most soothing sounds in the world...

Ssh ! Holly is sleeping.......!

* YES ! ! ! - about Bach. (for joy and uplift I'd also add Vivaldi)
* and 'Yes' about the instancy of crossing cyberspace to the homes of family & friends.
* About hair colours - had never thought of that before - if you can send your little sis's voice flying across the miles, does your technology also reach to sending a lock of your hair?
((o-:}
* you have a mailing bookend? Merveilleux ! (sp.)
* 'family' - to think He chose them for us, and us for them ! (Ours are 'scattered abroad' now though)

Fugues - I have often heard that fugues are wonderful pieces of music but being quite music illiterate I really don't know the difference.

I love unexpected mail.

Home and Family! What a wonderful thing!

Let's see...a fugue is like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". It has the same theme repeated on top of each other.

Here's a cd link with clips to give you an idea:

Bach fugues are the best. And they're hard, too! My favorite is the Little Fugue in g minor.

I love technology, too. I love being able to communicate with people all over the world in three shakes of a lamb's tail.

Oh! I haven't tried to play one, but I like the idea of trying...

I am loving your lists of Beautiful Things.

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

*beams* It has been a delightful exercise!

I meant to mention that I am going to copy. Is that okay? I love everything that makes me think of Good Stuff.

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

Please do!! :D

Thank you for your sweet gratitude... it is so reassuring. On a more shallow note, I continue to love your layout. It just makes me feel peaceful!
