One of the songs I learned in childhood but do not teach to my child piano and guitar students, nor in preschools, is "Do Your Ears Hang Low." Did you sing this one in childhood? As I remember it, it goes: Do your ears hang...

MrsJ I knew and sang the childrens' version. And as a mom with a warped sense of humour and an aging body (with friends of a similar ilk), there was a version that focused on things not being quite as perky as they once were.

That was the intended purpose of this project. It will be hung where I will see it frequently. It is a subtle reminder of the horror story that is unfolding in Ukraine. It is a subtle reminder to be grateful for what I have. It...

I usually wake up with the sun. My apartment faces East, and I keep my curtains open, so I wind up waking up between 6 and 7 AM, depending on the season. Today I didn't stumble out of bed until 8:30 AM or so. I was up late last...

MrsJ @TheHorse that's usually what we do. I've learned not to take anything she says too seriously when she's in one of her moods...she's very quick to apologize the next day.
