Scavenger Hunt - The Theme is "Father's Day"

My hubby isn't the big sports fan, but he does love to
bike - so here he is, biking in the countryside.

Scavenger Hunt - The Theme is "Community"

My picture is a group of girls doing what young girls
love to do - brush and braid each others hair.
That, to me, is a beautiful portrait of community among girls.

Scavenger Hunt - The Theme is "Mirror"

I couldn't find a picture that was better than one of my favorites by
Norman Rockwell.

Thirteen Musicals I love (out of about 1000)

Thirteen Musicals LibertyBelleLoves West Side Story has the greatest music, and a plot that is just as important today as it was when written. The great Stephen Sondheim wrote the fabulous lyrics. It is my all time favorite. She Loves Me has wonderful music and fantastic lyrics. Many plays and films are based on this little story of two people who work together and can't stand each other, but who are secretly pen pals without knowing it. Sound familiar? Phantom of the Opera: The stage version is much more dramatic and beautiful than the film. Annie is a heart-warming and enchanting musical with great tunes. Kids love Annie because of the cast of children. I've got to say that no one beats the incredible talent of Carol Burnett. The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a not-well known musical, but one of my favorites. It is a play within a play, based on Charles Dicken's very last book. It is a "who-done-it" but unfortunately, Mr. Dickens died before revealing "who done it"!! The composer,Rupert Holmes made 7 endings and lets the audience vote on who the murderer is. No two performances are the same. Great music, good plot! Little Shop of Horrors. A nerd, a babe, a masochist, a greedy shop owner, 3 soul sisters and a flesh eating plant all set in the slums of some big city. Music by the fabulous Alan Menken. A fun musical with a great score. Singing in the Rain. Not sure if this one was on Broadway, but with a song like Make 'em Laugh, and Singing in the Rain, it has to be a favorite! Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The dancing in this one is fantastic. The wonderful Russ Tamblyn dancing in the barn-raising scene is fantasic! A bit dated, but fun. The Music Man.What can I say? "We got trouble, right here in River City"! Even the Beatles liked the songs from this musical.(Bells on the Hill). It's a turn of the century time piece and I love it. Joseph is a mish-mash of every genre of music from Calypso to rock 'n roll, pop to country. I had the privilege of conducting this one and enjoyed every performance. The Old Testament has never been more entertaining!! Grease! Who doesn't love the Danny, Sandy, Grease Lightning and rock 'n roll - the Pink Ladies, Greaser guys and old cars?? I grew up loving the musical,Gigi. Paris, the streets, the costumes, Maurice Chevalier and the adorable Leslie Caron. Another turn of the century musical with the sweetest songs. Fiddler on the Roof. I also conducted Fiddler and had a lump in my throat at the end of every performance. It is a sad, tragic but heart warming musical about people, love, hate, racism and hope.

Musical Intelligence

Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence

Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes. You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time. You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it. Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds. You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

Scavenger Hunt - The Theme is "Red White and Blue"

I thought I'd celebrate my birthday today!

Scavenger Hunt - The Theme is "Flowers"

These are not really flowers but a plant called Hens and Chicks.
(I think...)
They look so much like flowers, that I decided
to use them in the flower theme.
I think they are beautiful, almost like a lotus.

Hey All You Rollers....

Hey all you Rollers, Blog-Rollers, Holy-Rollers, Rock 'n Rollers and Hair-Rollers.
I love these blogrolls!
It's a great way to get to know others and see all the creativity around the net.
But one thing I've noticed is that people feel that the day the photos or 13 lists come up, you have to be there that very same day and add a comment.
I know this for a fact, because people who come a day later write they are sorry they are late! Late for what?
Well, for what it's worth, I haven't read anywhere that
you have to visit all the sites on the blogroll the same day they come out! So take it easy,- no rush - They'll be up for a whole week before a new one takes its place!
Happy blogrolling.
Love
LibertyBelle
