full ears


My family and I got full ears tonight. We went to a symphony concert that was free. It has been sooo long since we have been to one. When we lived in New Orleans-we used to go 2 X a month. The New Orleans symphony put on 2 a month for the schools; one on the east bank and one on the west bank. And it was only $1 a ticket. It was great.
Its probably been eons since I have gone. My kids loved it and me too!. There was an excerpt from an original opera-in English! and selections from Mozart, Beethoven and Rossini. We are going to a graduate student? recital Thursday night - an evening with Chopin and it is free too! Who said you can't get something worthwhile for nothing. We have to drive 120 miles round trip for it but-hey-its worth it for this great free music. I teach my kids at home so I like to take advantage of things like this. Music is so special if it uplifts. There is soo much nowadays to drag you down. I don't need it.
Well, Its getting close to beddy-bye time. Hate to go because I don't have my husband to snuggle to now. Passed away end of July. I feel like I have been treading water for 8 hours and no land in sight. Help me Lord!!!! Difinitely a BIG flash of light in the dark.
Ciao
