Rocking Metal Momma

Todays prompt is a love song for humankindI nominate, “We Are the World” and there are just too many stars to give it to just one. I really think that’s what I really love about this song. A whole lot of ego in one room, but I think that’s what makes it fun to watch. All of the stars bringing their own drama to their line . Each one trying to out sing the one before them. 😉 It’s interesting though, enjoy…

We Are the World

Happy Valentine’s Day

#Loveisindablog2023

Happy Valentine’s everyone. I hope everyone is celebrating, “Love” today. My Forever took me out for a Valentine’s Day Lunch today at a swanky restaurant in Oak Brook. It was lovely and I’m loved, what is better than that.

I’m posting one of the song’s that I fell in love with my forever. Whenever it comes on the radio when we are out and about, he has to sing it. I just melt. I love you husband <3 …

Load Out

You are still my guy <3 Forever and always <3 …

Forgiveness…

Today’s prompt is , a love song about Forgiveness” I think I will be staying with my prompt from yesterday but move it a bit further down the road. Yesterday’s prompt was about Unconditional Love, and I used a song from the musical, “Les Miserable.”

Today I’m going to pull another from the same musical only it’s about forgiveness. The song is, “I Dreamed a Dream.” You should watch the whole youtube that I am posting, very cool having the casts from other shows of Les Miserables.

Les Miserables, The Miserable, The Poor Ones, The Victims…

I’m sure I will see this musical again. Very powerful for people from all walks of life. It’s absolutely breathtaking. The husband has read the book/Les Miserable by Victor Hugo, and I think I’m going to have to put that one on my bucket list !!!! It’s a long one as is the musical. Totally worth it …

The prompt for todays is “ Unconditional Love Song… between a father and his daughter. Great prompt Mr. Jim !!!! I found this one from one of my favorite‘s, “Les Miserables…” I’ve seen the musical live at least half a dozen times and I did enjoy movie theater version of it with Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman. This song was probably one of the top 3 for me…

Happy Friday … Hoping for a warmer February <3 Today the prompt for #loveisindablog, “Ukraine or country’s w/turmoil. I don’t keep up on those kind of war troubles, that is just not where I get my joy and music is my Happy Place. The song for today is performed by Ed Sheeran and Andre Bocelli, and they are both from countries (England & Italy) so I’m thinking that counts. I love, love, love this song and they do it so well together. Enjoy This is, “Perfect.”

Perfect

My favorite line in the song is is, “We were just kids when we fell in love.” We were and it’s been an amazing journey, not perfect but it’s as close to perfect as you’re going to get !!! I love you husband <3 …

Your Still the One

Our first dance as Mr. & Mrs…

Okay that’s all for now…and yes he’s still the one and will always be !!!! #Love is in Da Blog !!!

and this next picture was one of us when we were younger. I just always liked the picture … Our boys were professional ballet dancer’s and we had just come from one of their shows when they danced w/Joffrey in Chicago. Time’s were grand, b/c everything is beautiful at the ballet 🙂 …

So I guess I need to put up one more pic of the boys at the ballet 😉 …These are pics of our 3rd son when he danced Cinderella as the Ugly Step Sister, and I’m thinking the last one was the Nutcracker and just a random one that I like…

I can’t leave out our youngest and his beautiful wife who were both professional ballet dancer’s. They are now the proud parents of our 7th grandchild…
