Talking about my little music snipet on the right ...

As I was working on my blog yesterday ... moving over posts, making things look pretty, etc, I was thinking about my title. I guess it was almost a year ago that I came up with "A Wink and a Smile" as my blog title. It really does not have significant meaning.



This little post was taken from my previous blog ...



I remember the days of just keeping time Of hanging around in sleepy towns forever Back roads empty for miles
Well you can’t have a dream and cut it to fit But when I saw you I knew We’d go together, like a wink and a smile
Leave your old jalopy by the railroad track We’ll get a hip double-dip hip Tip-Topy, two seat Pontiac
So you can rev her up, don’t go slow It’s only green lights and no rights Let’s go together like a wink and a smile Now my heart is music, such a simple song Sing it again the notes never end this is where I belong
Just the sound of your voice the light in your eyes They’re so far away from yesterday Together like a wink and a smile We go together like a wink and a smile.

I heard this song today and it made me happy. It is an old song, but I guess I became familiar with it because of the Sleepless in Seattle movie/soundtrack. I have this image of Tom Hanks and his son being silly and carefree on the beach. Makes me feel like I need more silliness in my life. So I decided to make it my blog's title. Many people have these really clever titles that have tons of meaning. Mine is just a simple old song that brings a smile to my face.

So there you have it, the reason for this blog's name. I even found a music snipet from ... http://www.esnips.com/CreateWidgetAction.ns?type=0&objectid=9be8f6d2-3a84-40de-af33-08196cef6973 . I am not sure how long it will stay there. Hopefully it is not TOO ANNOYING. You can always pause the sound when you read my blog ;)

Hi there! I found your blog by way of 4Real Learning's forum.

I love the music. I always smile when I hear Harry Connick, Jr. I find myself longing for the "old days" when his music was mainstream, kwim?

I long for main street USA, for the times when women behaved and dressed like ladies, for the time when little boys and girls said, "yes, ma'am" and meant it.

I digress.

At any rate, your blog is a treat!

Be blessed,
Oney

Hey! I know this is off the subject-but how is the homeschool planning going? Have you looked at Mother of Divine Grace, or Catholic Heritage Curricula, or Seton? I use a patchwork of curriculums, and I add texts like Scott Foresman Science and Spectrum phonics. This year I am going to enroll my oldest in either Seton or Kolbe.
Let me know how it is going~
Blessings,
Cris

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
