Child’s Dream

Write a dream page for a/your child(ren)

Miss Tink comes up with some really great blog prompts and today’s is no exception. I am really having to dig deep in my aging brain to answer this one.    So here goes.

When my son was born, I knew I didn’t want him to grow up without knowledge that his parents, family and schools could give him.  My biggest dream for him was to learn as much as possible, use it in life and grow up to be a great asset to his community.   I wanted him to stretch his wings and live beyond our small community.

So, from a very early age, I exposed him to what ever I could get my hands on.  Books, puzzles, games and early version’s of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. These were great tools he loved to play or interact with and I felt like it wasn’t a chore to get my child to learn.  

He did well in school and talents oozed out of him I had no idea he had.   His talent for playing instruments and music still amazes me today.  

He had told me many years ago, that he wanted to teach young children the world of music and to play instruments and that is what he does today.  He is still working on furthering his education and hopes to have his Master’s done in the next few months.

He has made this mother very proud.

Favorite Music

Blog prompt: Favorite Music

Music has been a very big part of my life since I was born. Heck, my mom has movies of me dancing in front of the tv watching Dick Clark back in the late 50′s. I played in the band since the 6th grade and have some sort of music on everyday. I have a mp3 player that I use every time I walk and when I take long trips. Tons of CD’s and music on my computer to listen to while I work.

I do turn up the car radio too loud and sometimes forget to turn it down when I get out. And of course, when my husband and I get back into the car, its blaring. He swears he lives with a teenager. I love my music!!

My favorite group is Journey. Love, love, LOVE their music and Faithfully is my favorite song of all time. I could listen to their greatest every waking moment and Steve Perry will always have a voice that can never be reproduced.

I love country music, soft rock music, disco music, big band music, gospel music, and anything done by Elvis (Elvis is in a category all by himself). I love it all!! I don’t care for rap because its a bit distasteful to me.

My son has inherited my love for music and teaches music/band to children. He is working on his Masters as we speak and also works with a Junior Orchestra. He is one of those special people that can pick up an instrument and play it. While in college, he started violin lessons and now plays professionally!! Yes, he is my son and I must brag a bit.

Here are a few layouts I did about him -

He played the tuba in high school because the teacher needed one and so, he taught himself how to play. He went on to college as a tuba major, but changed mid stream as a violin major. The bottom picture is when he played for the ASU Marching Band. I have always loved marching bands. I was the Drum Major for our high school band back in the 70′s.
