Norma's Wanderings around a small section of Montana |
I'm going to be gone tomorrow, we're going to hike a trail in the mountains. Then since we have to be in Billings Tuesday, we'll stay overnight there. So I thought I'd write to the 30DBC prompt. PROMPT July 5th You’re out with friends for the evening and have ended up at a Karaoke Bar. You’ve all agreed you will sing at least one song. What song will you sing? Why that one? I don't do bars, I don't drink. So this would have to be a fictional character. Perhaps the character could sing 'Amazing Grace' or 'It Is Well with My Soul'. As I wrote that, I thought of the musical "Guys and Dolls". There is a character that resembles a Salvation Army worker. Jean Simmons plays her in the movie. So why not use that as a jumping-off spot for a fictional story? Hmmm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guys_and_Dolls_(film) |
We went to a concert last night. Lauren Mascitti of American Idol fame and Joe Nichols. It was the last night of the RIDE event here in town. Great lot of fun. People eating, drinking, dancing, visiting with each other. Old, young, in between. Babes in arms and children running about. It rained earlier in the afternoon, thanks be to God! But the night cooled off and the fireworks show was astounding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4CZtOgYR-w = Lauren's song that touched my heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pWVQjfio14 = Joe's song that also touched my heart Joe Nichols stated that 'home' is the most powerful word in the English language, per Shakespeare. I got to thinking of that. Home means love, safety, peace, acceptance, and joy. Happy 4th of July everyone! |
