For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) - AC/DC Live

OK, so I know these guys are REALLY ugly, but I love rock n' roll music and this song is SO cool when it's done live. They have cannons on the stage that "shoot" off and everything... Yes, I have seen them in concert - and haven't been able to hear for several hours after the concert, but it was SO much fun!   


Hope you enjoyed, or at least tolerated, my selection this week... hope you join in!

How to Impress Your New Wife!

I found this on Wedinator and fell in love with it. The groom is Lin-Manuel Miranda, Broadway & Hollywood composer, actor, producer, writer, and director.  Take a look at what he did to surprise his new bride, Vanessa. It is beautiful..... Enjoy!



"L'Chiam" is one of my favorite songs from Fiddler on the Roof and now every time I hear it, I will think of this wonderful couple.  Wishing you all a wonderful week..... "To Life!"

"Do the Hustle" - by Van McCoy



OH, MY, the clothes, the hair... I wish I could get those memories OUT of my head! 

Have You Forgotten?

As we all know, on September 11, 2001 our country changed forever.....




As I am sure you all do, I remember exactly where I was and exactly how I felt when the world stopped turning.....




I know that you all have your memories from that very fateful day. How we cried for the innocent lives lost, for all the people left behind: the wives, the children, the parents, the brothers and sisters, not to mention the countless extended families and millions of friends. We all felt as if we lost someone even if we didn't know anyone personally. But, even during this horrendous time, incredible acts of bravery and sacrifice emerged - and we all cried again. We all sat there in our living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens wanting to do something, anything... but what could we do? So we clung to each other: families, friends and even strangers..... we united.

We all have the memories from those days that followed... how we all came together as a country, we all seemed to need each other and we were there for each other, friends as well as strangers. What an incredible thing to see the flags on all the homes and businesses around the country, what a sense of pride in our United States of America.

I wish you all happiness, love and safety today and always with your families and please take a moment to remember those who paid the ultimate price nine years ago in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia on that horrible day. Please fly your flag today and put aside your political differences to take time to think of those serving in our military, many of them away from their own families, working hard to make sure that something like this will never happen again to our beautiful country - the most wonderful country in the world.

God bless you all and God bless America!

Monday's Music Moves Me

My wonderful friend Dolly over at Xmas Dolly has started this wonderful meme called Monday's Music Moves Me.  Here is how Dolly explains the rules for the meme:


"I will think of some theme's each week, and the week there isn't a theme you can put whatever you like. Then once your song is posted, sign up to our linky, and pick from the links already there who you would like to dance/groove with. That's right! Who would you like to shake your bootie with. Then hop on over there & in your comment just tell them 'LET'S SHAKE THAT THANG & I'LL FOLLOW YOU', and follow them."


Because of the holiday, this week Dolly wants us to post songs that are appropriate for Labor Day, so here are my selections:













Hope you enjoyed my choices for Labor Day and please join Dolly for her meme.  Once you pick your songs, head over to her blog, link up, and visit the other participants.


Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and safe holiday with your loved ones.

Happy Labor Day

Whatever you are doing today, I hope you have a happy, healthy and safe holiday with the ones you love!
