R's rue

Jamie ,our Choirmaster ( Sans his1940 RAF moustache ) organised a few new sings tonight as well as some trusty old tunes at our choir Zoom He picked one old favourite from before I joined the choir which caught me unawares, sat at the kitchen table like I was. He chose Moon River Now, Moon River , was the music that was played at my wedding . It was always   " our tune"  And I haven't heard it publically since the wedding Having it served as a curved ball at choir absolutely threw me. After a minute or so , I slunk, hopefully unnoticed out of my  Zoom position in the left top corner of the computer screen And I stood quietly weeping  in the rain, under the honeysuckle by the front door until everyone had finished singing

The finch art behind the pelican was something I bought years ago  from Marshall's .  I eventually gave it to my sister.  A few years after that i was in Morro Bay while visiting my sister and bought this pelican for her.  So I would have a memento of both I took this photo.  I later tried doing my own  sketch of them just for fun. I came across the photo I took in 2015, again.  I like all the colors in it so for today this is a perfect image for my sketch blog. All of this reminds me of how I use to love to browse Marshall's and TJ Max, ..etc... through the home goods section.  I rarely buy anything just because I downsized so much when we moved and i don't need to spend money on things I don't need anymore.    But there is still the desire to at times. Do you have a weakness - something that is hard for you to pass up while shopping - something that is whimsical and not a necessity.  For me it's always art or someone's creative ideas turned into a crocheted it...
