Remembering an Ecumenical Concert

fun, Odds and ends, Susan

The 19th annual Ecumenical Christmas Concert was recorded. The only concert recording I know of. Too bad we didn’t capture all the loveliness of all the Seymour concerts.

I’m lucky to have a copy and I’m reliving it today as I listen to the choirs singing.

As I heard the piece, Still, Still, Still, tears came to my eyes. I felt the same feelings ages ago when I stood in the center of that choir. The beauty is still there in spirit.

Wishing you a bit of Christmas charm and beauty today and every day.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Video streaming

Family, fun

A tiny clip of the granddaughter Arianna’s seventh-grade choir.

This video streaming from her school made me smile.

I’m so happy to be connected to the internet even if it’s via DSL.

It helps being able to reach out to the outside world.

I look to future live streaming events and more smiles.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Barn-E with another cat toy

Barn-E, Car-E, cats, fun

I’ve watched Barn-E play with this toy. He pushes it all over as he spins the trapped ball inside.

Notice, Car-E walked by, ignoring the toy.

Car-E never played with this toy even when he was a kitten. He looks like he can’t figure out what attracts Barn-E.

They are brothers, but they have different personalities.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Streaming Live Music for this grandma

Family, fun

If a grandmother, like me, can’t get to the seventh-grade concert, there are other ways to be there. Thanks to the orchestra director, this concert was live-streamed.

My two grandchildren, Eli and Arianna play violas. They are in the second row.

When this closeup was taken I could finally find them. Eli is to the left of the still photo and Arianna is to the right.

I can’t wait to see another live stream from any of my grandchildren.

This first one was extra-special.

I’m glad to be connected to the Internet and my family.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm

Fighting the blues

Friends, fun, Odds and ends

Getting through our wedding anniversary yesterday gave me the blues. The more people told me what a great guy Bob was made me even sadder. I could have stayed home and been sad, but that’s not what I did.

My little video tells how I helped cheer myself up.

I’m already looking forward to the next BINGO outing.

I hope more friends who live close decide to join us in St. John the Baptist school gym on December 15 at 1. Bingo is the first and third Wednesday of the month. It’s free unless you add to the freewill donation bucket.

Don’t sit home alone, come join us.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.
