The challenge this week is to share something fun.
Seeing the musical comedy ‘Something Rotten’ in NYC last January was definitely one of the most fun plays ever.. It WAS the funniest musical written in the past five centuries and it was fun, fun, fun.

This weeks prompt is : a beautiful harmony: a “combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes… having a pleasing effect.”
Of course, harmony also has a meaning outside of the world of music: “the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first thought is of music. My second thought was where you might hear beautiful music. My third thought was… Carnegie Hall of course :)

My daughter Deb, our friend Dawn and I went to NYC last Saturday to see…tah dah… the funniest, most hysterical musical comedy I think I’ve ever seen… and despite the title… it was not rotten :) Come along and join us on our matinee day in the city.
After getting coffee we headed to Times Square…
You can always count on seeing a lot of characters roaming Times Sq, for example take a look at the characters in the last picture, crazy looking bunch :)
You might even see a proposal taking place, although I wonder if the one we saw was a real one or staged since there was a camera crew there ! At any rate it picture worthy.
Next up was lunch.. Junior’s Restaurant & Bar was our choice and it was a good one… we all chose sandwiches which were huge and delicious, the side dishes of pickles and also beets were great…but the icing on the cake, or in this case the blueberries on the cheesecake was oh so good… one piece shared 3 ways was perfect.
and now the main event… I present …’Something Rotten’..
Inside before the magic, and the laughter began…
And of course way too soon the laughter, the music, and the magic ended and it was out into the cold evening with memories of a fantastic, not rotten, matinee day in the city :)

Pretty much everyone loves Christmas music and has a favorite song, or three, or twelve. I love the classic carols like “O Holy Night” and the standards like “White Christmas”. However, there’s one song that makes me smile and bop around the house, or drum on the steering wheel of the car, and that’s Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”. I can never hear it enough times.
Knowing this, my daughter Deb made me a special CD which she gave me a couple of years ago. Out of 21 songs “All I Want For Christmas” is on it SEVEN times. At first I thought it was going to be every song, and Deb said she did think about doing that, but that would have been silly. She did a terrific job of choosing interesting songs and I’m enjoying them but I have to say I like numbers 1-4-9-11-15-18 and 21 the best.
Thank you again and again and again, Deb :)

As I mentioned a few posts ago every Saturday my daughter Deb and I, often accompanied by her best friend Dawn, go out for coffee and whatever else occurs. This past Saturday was chock full.
First up is coffee… almost always the first stop. We were in the charming town of Summit, New Jersey and stopped in at Boxwood Coffee which I have to say was a great choice.
Second up was Record Store Saturday. We hadn’t had plans to seek out a record store but lo and behold there was one right around the corner so of course we checked it out…
Third up was the main reason for the outing… The New Jersey Wool Walk. You may be wondering what a wool walk is, here’s the description from the website… ”The New Jersey Wool Walk is an event to give passionate knitters, crocheters and fiber artists the opportunity to visit, experience and enjoy the wide array of yarn shops throughout Central, South and North Jersey. Our diverse stores have a variety of yarns, notions, classes and styles. The Wool Walk is a four day festive happening that is not a sale, but an adventure for all lovers of yarn and what it can become!”
The girls had visited several yarn shops the day before and did a few more when I joined them on Saturday. Here are a few pictures from Summit. Look at those happy faces with their bags of stash.
As if that wasn’t a full enough day there’s still one more event to go,
Fourth up is for me, the main event…. ELVIS is in the building :)
My life long friend and I are also life long fans of Elvis and so when the opportunity arose to see this Elvis impersonator we jumped at the chance. I wish I could remember his name because he was fabulous… looked, sang, sounded just like The King himself. It was quite the climax to a full day.
My friend got a scarf and a kiss from Elvis… me, I got to take the picture…
There’s a lot of pressure on next Saturday if it wants to be as exciting and fun as the past two were.
