Stormy Weather - Song Lighting Crashes by Live

It is funny what will trigger a song and a memory.  I was working and stopped by one of the teams I belong to and found a challenge.  The person starting the thread created a treasury based on a theme and presents the first challenge theme and the next follows suite.  Mine was to create a treasury based on Stormy Weather which of course triggered memories of the song Lighting Crashes by Live.  Even if you do not like heavier music the lyrics are beautiful with rich meaning about the circle of life.  The transfer of one life as the body passes and leaves on to another as they are newly born.

Live Lyrics - Lightning Crashes



I hope you enjoy the video and the treasury:



Please note that I will not have computer access for a week but will be back soon.   I will miss my Blog friends.

Monday, Monday...

I am having one of those Monday mornings; I can't even explain why but it is what  it is.

 I decided to fix it by finding and listening to the Mamas and Papas song Monday, Monday:

Alas it will be Monday for another 24 hours so I must make the best of it.  Thank you to my wonderful friends at ETSY for brightening it up a little and featuring me in a very soft and beautiful treasury.

The softness and pastels heals my heart. I love this postcard I think that is one of my prettiest in the collection.



So with Sincere Good Wishes I hope your Monday is soft and pretty.  Because... Monday, Monday, you can't trust that day...won't go away...

I think I am going to go purchase a Mama's and Papa's album now. 

 

Take me to Sesame Street

OK, so once again I woke up feeling nostalgic; for my own childhood and for the beautiful time I had with my children growing up. It is funny how certain characters or shows can have such a deep lasting impact on our lives. One of those for me is Sesame Street. As a child that was my favorite show and as my children were growing up it gave me a great excuse to watch it again. They followed the Muppets through all of their grand adventures, sang their songs, and had their favorite Ernie, Kermit and Cookie Monster toys. I would love to go back and visit Sesame Street...but maybe friends and family might think I finally cracked if they catch me watching it by myself with a box of Kleenex. So alas it will be off to work, but I did find an outlet once again through creating a Treasury of my friends and fellow store owners on ESTY. I hope you enjoy.

Honeysuckle Vines

I woke up this morning with a sweet song by Dolly Parton in my head.  "...Honeysuckle vines cling to the fence along the way, its fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet..."  After 35 years I still remember all but one word in the lyrics to My Tennessee Mountain Home.  I am not a big country music fan but I grew up with Dolly and this song is still one of my favorites.  The beautiful picture she paints; the simple summer of years gone by.  I am not sure why I woke up this morning with that verse running through my mind, maybe because like many I long for a simpler time and I long for the sweet summer winds.  Beauty can be found anywhere if we look for it, even in the dark days of winter.  We may have to hum a little tune from a long time ago but it is there.  I hope that all of you that know this song leave for work, school, or where ever are humming this tune and you have a beautiful day.  If you don't know this song here it is:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va6-P-w69zE
