Honky-Tonk

I remember this word Honky-Tonk as one of the “sounds” my toy piano gives. There are other sounds but I remember this one distinctly maybe because of the word itself.

Anyway, that word came to mind when my daughter, the one in yellow shirt (I don’t know who the small girl is but I think she is the daughter of one of the staff there) complained that this piano in a mountain resort we love to visit has odd and out of tune sounds.

My daughter plays the piano by ear though of course it would be great if she is able to read difficult notes placed on a manhasset music stand beside the piano.

I got curious and Googled honky-tonk and saw this in YouTube. What fun!

I posted this photo below in another blog. This was originally posted in Instagram.

I sure do hope my eldest daughter made this because her creative juice was runneth ovwr and not because she is fighting against doing some heavy scholastic tasks.

I’m sure there are people who’d rather doodle or stare at empty space rather than listen to heavy stuff like AAP Training or significance of molecular biology in agriculture or even the theories of existentialism. Heavy stuff huh? It depends on whether you are interested or not 🙂

Coffee and Sunset View

Yesterday we spent Earth Day and hubby’s birthday somewhere cool and high. We hiked, napped, had picnic, the kids swam, we took photos and just relaxed. We capped off the day with snacks and coffee as we watched the sun set behind the mountains.

It was a lovely day and if we can only stretch it a bit for several more hours, we would do so. I am thankful that there was no mobile signal and I was not tempted to post photos “in the now” and just enjoyed taking photos as we enjoy the moments we shared.

The place was full of people too but we didn’t really see them most of the time because the place is huge. There were those who were on the ziplines, near the pools, in the picnic area or in their rented rooms (like we did a third of the time).

The staff told us during weekends, there are garden weddings happening at the place. It would be nice to take photos of ladies wearing Bari Jay bridesmaid dresses in the gardens though that would mean more people in the premises.

My April 12 entry for STAIRS in the Photo a Day April meme over at Instagram.

These lighted candles served as the guide for the Scouts during 2012 Earth Hour.
