The Heart's Music Can Heal

         I love writing when I can but other than "Blogger"  I don't do too much anymore.  Romance hasn't visited me for a long time now so I like to close my eyes and imagine what it would be like just to slow dance with the man I love.  If it were to be written, it would go like this.            Its almost midnight, nothing but a soft light illuminates the earthy toned room from a lamp perched gingerly on a small end table.    Outside, the rain is falling creating a calm but yet romantic atmosphere.    The quiet evening is filled only with two sleepy figures moving to the rhythm of the whispering classical music playing on the radio.           She is dressed not so formal in a long simple shimmering gown.  Her long graying hair and head resting on his chest.  The lady places her hands so lightly on his back as to feel his strong shoulders, the movement of his ...

Hope You Are There

  There has been so many nice songs written , one of the most professional,gentleman "Businessman" singers in Country music was Eddy Arnold.  His music career started in the late 40's.  He became a family favorite especially of my Grandpa Havens.  I have a cassette tape of the "50 Golden Years Of Country Music" that he gave me before he passed away in 1987.    After my husband died in 2006, I came to live in Hayes Colony in Delaware, Ohio. Getting set up was the most tedious of all.  We all have been there getting "Time Warner" out and installing cable.  After that was completed, I found a menu of downloaded Videos.  One such one was Classic Country Music which featured Eddy Arnold's "Old Porch Swing"  it is a sweet song and soothing, recorded shortly before he passed away.  I wanted to share some of those "Classic Country Music Videos" that helped me through that period, including "Old Porch Swing." Enjoy! ...

Just Letting That Special Person In Amesbury,MA  Know.                                          

We all remember disco but I always thought it really started in 1977-1978, which was the height of its popularity.  It started in 1974.   During the late seventies, I remember going with my friends to the roller skating rink "Roller Skates Of America" on Morse Road in Columbus.  Things have changed from those days.  Now it is a place for Laser Tag.    I recall so many of these songs being played while we skated around to the music. So I guess disco was forty years ago.

To all my Irish ancestors, my grandmother Sarah (Mc Donnell ) Havens, especially who loved this day!

      Every once in awhile you come across a movie that just so remarkable.  I love movies based of actual events and people.  One of my favorites, that I haven't seen for a long while is "The Straight Story".       Most people have heard of this story of two brothers who had a disagreement.  One becomes ill and the other (Alvin) takes his lawn mower to go see him because he can't drive a car.  It's one of the sweetest movies ever and if you haven't seen it.  I recommend you do, you won't be disappointed.  It really touches the heart!
