Just to share

I took these pictures last summer when we were living with Devin's parents in Wyoming. I am not a photographer, but I think I caught something really pretty early that morning. I found them so I thought I would share. The rainbow looked like it stretched right over the Devin's dad store(which is the white building). It was really beautiful.

Music takes me home

I was driving into work this morning and a song was playing on the radio that brought a flood of memories to my mind. I thought of my child hood and the music that played throughout our home. It wasn't classical or even the Mo Tab. It was classical in another sense. I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Lynard Skynard, Men at work, The Beattles and a whole other variety of music at our house. Over the years my music selection has varied, but each song has a different memory or brings up different feelings. It's interesting how that happens. Not all memories are good, but most are. I cannot hear "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor without thinking of my girl friends in our early dating years and all those broken hearts we had to mend. The song I heard this morning was "Piano man" by Billy Joel. I loved this song when I was a little girl. I am not sure why. I didn't understand most of the words in the song at the time, but I loved it. It gives me a sense of home and comfort I think. It calms the storms in my life when I think of my dad tapping his foot in the kitchen while he was fixing what he referred to as "Supper". I love music and I love the feelings it arouses in my heart and mind! Thanks dad for giving that gift to me.
