Six word Fridays ~ Light

oh, the magic...the magic of

music and lyrics, memories and lights!

The marquee filled me with anticipation...

That single, grand piano greeted us

and the audience was all abuzz!

This show kept all its promises ~

as we strolled down memory lane, 

our guides were melody and verse...

and we caught a glimpse into

a beautiful songwriter's heart and soul.

Her story joins the many tales

these hallowed walls, mirrors and lights

can tell...just imagine all they've

seen and heard over the years!

For nearly a century, this gilded

Opera House has showcased the arts,

bearing witness to the changing culture

through the voices of our artists.

I'll take a ride down memory

lane in this place any time...

"If art reflects life, it does

so with special mirrors." Bertolt Brecht

I'm linking up to

Little Things Thursday, Mama Kat's and Weekend Reflections

If You've got a story to tell,

Six word at a time,

then please join us here for

Out With My Girl!

I've tried to do this almost every Thursday because 'Mama Kat' sends us some writing prompts and that gives me ideas that I probably would never come up with on my own. There are also about 150 bloggers who usually join in with this link-up, and I enjoy discovering new blogs and seeing what other people do with her topic ideas.

One of her prompts this week was to talk about a recent 'Girls Night Out'. The first thing that came to my mind was a recent night out down town with my daughter.

It's pretty much a lifetime dream come true to have a daughter that's grown into a friend. And it's been a special blessing to have her living at home with us for about a year before she gets married. So she and I get some easy going nights in ~ like last night...no guys around, just us...chick flick, sharing scandalous celebrity gossip, laughing until we cried (mostly bird drama jokes), and just being together. Love the comfort from this kind of friendship ... talk when you have something to say, no worries about silence ... work on projects together, or share space while doing our own thing. Last week I shared about our Savannah road trip ~ guess whatever we do, we have a good time doing it!

Back to our night on the town! We had been given two tickets to the Broadway touring show Mary Poppins!! So we parked and walked around in the freezing wind until we found a funky Mexican Cantina for dinner. Our margarita's warmed us up, and the food was yummy. We headed quickly to the theatre, taking cheesy pictures of ourselves all along the way. The show was magical. I know we were both singing along in our heads...and loving every minute of it!
