Her playmate's mom was playing a CD of children's music. Little Bit turned and said, "Excuse me, this is nice but do you think we could listen to some REAL music? Like jazz? Miles Davis is good..." <br /><br />I had to correct her manners... but I was secretly proud of her musical taste! :-)Laurie Alleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460272282273523408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-51708582740987432022010-03-31T08:48:04.920-07:002010-03-31T08:48:04.920-07:00What a delight!

Not to say that jazz isn't easy to listen to, but the genre is nowhere close to the same.<br /><br />We had a 19 foot river rock fireplace in a former home. Those rocks came from Colorado but the look was the same. I love how smooth and rounded they are.Judy Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081035351814381283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-57475619669581067032010-03-31T06:26:09.032-07:002010-03-31T06:26:09.032-07:00Oh, V, you would have so loved this...

If you take the link to the design plan and then go one page back you'll see a full photo of the Oaklawn Bridge.<br /><br />Speaking of Lush Life, last night I went to see a friend playing jazz at Palate in Glendale, located in an old Bekins storage building on the Boulevard of Cars. The restaurant is really good and includes a wine shop that you can visit during the day, lots of exotic wines and cheeses. The jazz was really amazing. A little different than most. The drummer plays drums like an instrument - never heard anything quite like it. All the players were really good and work well together. The music is there on Tuesday nights from 8 to 9:30- check with me if you want to be sure they'll be there.Mister Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405041951237611622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-36148622673193335702010-03-31T05:26:57.024-07:002010-03-31T05:26:57.024-07:00Oh I just saw the title of the image.
