The things that cross your mind when you wake up in the middle of the night can sometimes be a bit scary. I woke up around 3:30 AM and my first thought was the music I wanted played at my funeral. I dont expect to be kicking the bucket anytime soon but I do like to hang out at cemetaries a lot. Maybe one of those souls attached itself to me and has implanted funeral thoughts in my head. Of course, not being able to shake the music thought, I started thinking about what I wanted. My favorite all time song is Louis Armstrongs Wonderful World. I do like a lot of music but which ones say me and when my kids hear it will they say mom liked this one. They all know I like ZZ Top but how about some of that bubblegum music from the 60's, or some Canned Heat which was my first concert at the Mosque in Richmond. But I also like classical music and sing with gusto with my grandson even though we dont know the words- Figgaro or what ever it is called. I also like the Flight of the Bumblebee because it brings back memories of my grandmothers house in a snowstorm with my aunt as we raced in the parlor doing the bee dance. Then there are only a few country songs I like, mostly Brooks & Dunn. Mainly because I dont like to be so sad.
I guess if they will be playing music at my wake then it best be a long one with the list I will surely make up for it.
I once again failed in my attempt to see any meteors this morning. Way too cloudy so I hope one morning this week I will see at least one fireball. A few years ago when the Leonids had the big show, I told my family and coworkers about seeing it. It sort of warmed my ole heart that so many went out under the stars and seen this wonderful site from the Universe. Natures own firework show. Those meteors were coming along so fast and just streaking across the sky that night. My youngest daughter went to the river with her friends to view it, and they all had a great time that night. At my home it was foggy so I almost gave up seeing any, but then like a miracle an opening came shaped like a ring so I could peer those falling stars and enjoy its own beauty.
So my picture today is a sort of collage of some of the places we cached at. From Hollywood Cemetary to the shiplocks in Richmond. It was fun finding the caches but even more fun to learn a lot of the history that I never knew about my adopted home.
Peace be with you and enjoy what good things are in this world.
