Star Wars in Concert

Today was the day! After three months of waiting we finally got to use our tickets and see a live performance of the music of Star Wars. It was fantastic. C3PO or rather the actor that played him was the narrator. We sat close enough that we could see the faces of some of the musicians without the giant screen. I am in awe of the brass section. Their lips would have to be numb after today. Especially since they played not one but two shows. Hopefully those few hours of rest between show saved their lips!

But the best moments weren’t on stage. They were in the seat next to me as my boys wiggled, conducted and acted with their favorite music moments.

Darth Vader’s music is still the number one music moment for them both.

May the force be with you!

Independence Day

It is Independence Day for we Americans.

We celebrate but usually in a quiet way. When your state doesn’t allow fireworks it is rather difficult to celebrate with snaps and pops. And when Mother Nature tosses rain into the mix it is hard for the cities to blow fireworks up for you. So this year is quite a quiet celebration.

But I have family here. I have happy children playing at my feet. We have food to fill our bellies and conversation to tickle our minds.

And we have monster cookies.

Happy 4th of July wherever you find yourself.
