Crazy how things can take you back in time; little things like sounds, tastes, smells, etc. Thanks to the iPhone, hubby and I have a new game. It was a happy accident of looking for a song on his phone by typing in some lyrics. Before we knew it we were taking turns finding clips of songs we remembered as kids. There was also a fun game of guess who with songs like Unchained Melody which have been recorded by hundreds of different artists. Generally, I stink at this because I’m terrible with names of artists and actors, but I got several. Before we knew it we were just giggling and reminiscing. Today I’m listening to the soundtrack of The Man From Snowy River as a result of our goofing around. I forgot how much I liked it and am amazed at how many memories it brings back. Music is a powerful device.

A few weeks ago I went looking for some denim I knew I had somewhere for a project. As I stumbled through storage containers I found a welcome surprise in the box of cut out denim jean pockets:

This was my first stab at oil painting years ago. I found I really enjoyed it! Good old Bob Ross made it look so easy I found myself trying it along with him.

Sometimes it’s good to remember. I think I’ll tackle taste memories next…
