If you had been a fly on the wall at our house last night you would be smiling as much as I am today, I'm sure! :-) And not because of where we went for our usual 'virtual Friday date night' either!
For those of you who are new to my blog, my hubby and I, for years, have kept Friday nights as a 'Date Night'. A night that we either went out on the town, took a little trip or a little ride somewhere, or, if we were home, just took the phone off the hook...But because of my health in recent years, our Friday night 'dates' have been 'virtual' dates.
We choose a state, a city, an event, or a country, and immerse ourselves in it for the night. We listen to its local music; eat something from, or similar to its food; and GO THERE 'virtually'!...Oh! The fun we've had!! ^_^
And last night was no exception, even though we didn't "GO" anywhere!...With hubby outta work right now, and us having to keep our 'pennies' pinched a bit until we see what our next move will be, we decided to keep our 'Date Night' close to home.
We had planned to 'virtually' go to Oregon for the night. Oregon is in the U.S. We didn't think there would be that big of a change in what we would have been eating, so we didn't wanna waste money ordering food out...I mean, we already had food! LOL
All we had to do was find a movie to watch, or some music to listen to!....Well, we went online to look around...and BING!...you know that sound that your email makes when you're getting a message?...The sound that we usually ignore on our 'Date Nights'?! Well, that's what we heard...But since we weren't 'into' anything yet, we checked it.
Hmmmmm....Kevin Costner is following me on Twitter...
Now, I love Kevin Costner! In fact, I just recently did a blog post about an unplanned date day hubby and I had, due to that bad storm we had, where we watched Message in a Bottle' with Kevin Costner in it!...But when we saw this email, hubby and I just laughed, because I've gotten all kinds of so-called celebrities following me on Twitter over the last few years! Only twice were they legitimate celebrity types...neither of which were the kind of people I would want following me in the first place! (The details of that are a story for another day...or maybe not even worth the written words! LOL)
Anyway!....Usually these so-called celebrities that follow me on Twitter are people who are fake counterparts to real celebrities, or people using the celebrity's name to get attention...So I went over to Twitter to see what kind of nut is 'BINGING' my account this time!...UGH!....And, frankly, to delete them off of it!!!
But lo and behold......it's legitimate!!!!!! :-) It's an approved account, and it's kevin Costner and his new group Modern West!!...
I saw Kevin Costner and Modern West perform for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry recently, and I was impressed! He seemed so natural at it. And he sounded pretty good too!...although I could tell he was nervous. But who wouldn't be?! There's only a handful of celebrities that have made the jump from the big screen to the stage successfully. But oh yeah! They've tried! {Bruce Willis, Will Smith, David Hasselhoff,......O_O...Okay, I'm gonna stop there!}
Now, the truth is, until my email BING! I hadn't really taken the time to listen to any other songs of Kevin Costner's group...except for a performance they did on some talk show or something a while back...even though I had liked what I heard.
So, hubby and I, true music aficionados...sorta, kinda ^_^...and real country music lovers FOR REAL!...decided that we would do that for our date...listen to Kevin Costner and Modern West songs and see how much we really liked them, I mean!....And we did!!! :-) In fact we were still playing our favorites this morning!! :-)
Have you heard them?!....Well, here's hubby and my favorites!...
If you listened to those and liked them as much as we did, you might also like these two... >HERE< ....and... >HERE<. The whole slew of them are on our playlist now! :-) ... So, thanks Mr. Kevin Costner...and you too Modern West...for hitting up my email!! ^_^ ...Now, if I could only get him to wear one of my crocheted boutonnieres on the red carpet one of these times!!! LOL
Speaking of boutonnieres, remember my recent sale of my red boutonniere?!...Well, guess what?!...The customer sent me a picture!!....
Look how great it looks next to that tweed!! :-) ... How cool is that?!!!!...And the customer gave me some great advice about the back button too! He said he was 100% pleased with it, but suggested that I attach a little smaller back button on future ones. He said just a little bit smaller and the button would have gone through the lapel buttonhole perfectly!...I am so thankful for constructive and useful feedback....Now I know!!! :-) Future boutonnieres will get the benefit of his great suggestion.
Last, but not least, another one of my boutonnieres....the brown tan one...
...was included in Inbar Shahak's new treasury...
("Honey Amber" treasury)
In fact, my header photo...the fly on the wall poster... was from this treasury also! :-) And since I've already talked your head off enough, I won't get all into every item from it. But if YOU want to, you can go HERE and check out each one!
Okay..I'm out! ^_^ Have a good day Everybody!!
A Music Note
A little 'boogie-woogie' bouncing,
and a tapping toe or two,
and my mood is quickly lifting,
and I want to dance with you.
A little harmony and humming,
and some soul and country too,
and I'm feeling pretty chipper.
So "Let's dance!" My poem is through!
