It's an app you can get on your phone that records a song you come across in your day and then locates it and tells you who it is by and what it is called. Just a suggestion for those with smart phones.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162949369536716651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-47478700866364546612018-02-09T10:24:29.029-08:002018-02-09T10:24:29.029-08:00Piano practice.

Yes, I love movies like ...Piano practice. Yay Pat.<br /><br />Yes, I love movies like The Post or Darkest Hour I've seen recently or the show Madmen for that sound of all those typewriters in the typing pool. It's better now, but not if you are blind and might be using a computer that talks. When my brother and myself are in the same room, this sometimes happens. We try to limit it though because it is rather distracting.<br /><br />Who doesn't love a peaceful Sunday?<br /><br />Hope you've had a productive week, enjoying retirement all the while.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162949369536716651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-43803651763110167372018-02-06T22:42:55.025-08:002018-02-06T22:42:55.025-08:00I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the blessing dress...I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the blessing dress. That was the first time I'd every tried such a thing as combining two different patterns and using crocheting and knitting in the same pattern. Come to think of it, it is the only time.

How frustrating!<br />Did you have the pleasure of being around your Swedish grandmother and learning about any of her adventures? <br />Well sometimes I've been known to tackle a challenge slightly beyond my reach, or even way beyond my reach, but I'm taking it slow and easy. Instead of plowing through the entire piece of music I'm try to perfect part of it before going on to the next section. It doesn't seem quite so cumbersome that way.<br />I've eaten Danish pastries (like eating pastry in Denmark) and remember being surprised at how "not sweet" they were, but still delicious.Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-29026187944600312018-02-05T23:16:23.305-08:002018-02-05T23:16:23.305-08:00Ha!

My whole comment just disappeared when I h...Oh no! My whole comment just disappeared when I hit publish, once again. I must learn to write my comment in Word and then copy/paste it to your blog, so it won’t vanish before my eyes! This was such a wonderful post, so let me try again. I love reading your TToT post each week because it’s like dropping by for a visit to catch up on how the week went. Maybe your comment box is trying to tell me that my comments are too long-winded! LOL<br /><br />That is such a beautiful piece of music, I am impressed that you’ve taken on the challenge to play it!<br /><br />How awesome that your daughter was able to find the little blessing dress that you wanted a photo of. That tells you how precious it is to her, that she knew right where it was! It also means that her house is much more organized than mine is at the moment. That remains my goal for this year, to get it done!<br /><br />I haven’t eaten apple strudel in years, the piece you had sounded so good! When I lived in Germany I was amazed to discover how much less sugar they use in their baking, and yet everything tastes wonderful. <br /><br />I had to chuckle at you putting off your glasses repairs because I do that, and then when I finally get around to it, I wonder why I waited so long. I can’t read much of anything without mine, so when they start sliding off my face it becomes annoying. It was nice that you got in and out quickly!<br /><br />I often realize, as you have, what a blessing retirement is. Not only does it give me more time and energy to take care of the house and Papa Bear, and do the things I enjoy doing, but it also frees me up to do the things God places before me. I like that a lot!<br /><br />How lucky for the little millipede that you found him and safely relocated him back outside. Wouldn’t you love to know what journey brought him into your house? You are right about the majority of us being descendants of those who were brave enough to come to America to start a new life. My maternal grandmother’s family emigrated from Sweden when she was only seven years old. Imagine what an adventure that was for her! <br /><br />Good reports definitely take on new meaning as we get older, and our friends and family do too. Please join me in praying for a good report this week for an unnamed friend we both know and love.<br />I laughed at thinking what homes would be like today if all the keyboards we write on sounded like typewriters, imagine how noisy that would be! I remember our High School typing class all too well! Other associated blessings are spellcheck and autocorrect, even if it sometimes creates strange messages! <br /><br />Have a great week ahead Pat, you are a blessing to me! I also note that you now have your new profile picture posted on your page… and it is so beautiful!! <br /><br /><a href="https://josietwoshoes.wordpress.com/2018/02/03/ten-things-of-thankful-2-03-18/" rel="nofollow">Josie Two Shoes ~ TToT</a> <br />Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-87086572643514494972018-02-05T06:56:27.955-08:002018-02-05T06:56:27.955-08:00I love Beethoven's music because it is often &...I love Beethoven's music because it is often "lively" music, whereas it took me a while to appreciate Bach.<br />Yes, Chopin's music is right up there in my favorites too.<br />The "new typewriters" are just an amazing advancement!<br />Fortunately I do have an extra pair of glasses in case of an emergency.

I found Beethoven's music the most satisfying to play although I'd say Chopin comes in a close second :)<br />Your #9 makes me laugh. Noisy indeed! I never would have dreamed of this technology when I was in high school. It still amazes me. I am very thankful to be able to enjoy some of these new "typewriters" :D<br />That was a score on the no wait for the glasses repair. A nice reminder for me when I get new glasses to consider getting a second pair as backup. I have been known to sit on my glasses and I actually did step on them once! It's the worst feeling. <br />Congratulations on the good report!

It will set the tone for the rest of the day, I hope. Yay to retirement. And the millipede, yuck. A job for super-husband I think. I'm glad you put him outside. It's a kindness some would not share.
