Last nite I went to my ggrand-daughter's concert. Right now she's playing the euphonium. This concert had all the schools represented...elementary, middle and high schools. They were splendid.The high school band had a special event that they made up themselves. It consisted of all sizes of drums, Xylophones and cymbals. They called it Raven...a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe. When it first started it scared most of the parents etc. because the speakers were on at the max...this is an all new school and believe me the acoustic system that they have is state of the art. It was well done and I enjoyed it but my tinnitus was at it's worse. A late nite for me. It was after 9 when I got home.  LOL. You must know that by that time of nite I'm usually in my jammies. Today I started painting my clay flower pots. Painting is not my forte but I think they are going to look nice when I'm done. I even got in my walk up the court and up the ave. A not so funny thing happened to me when I was half-way to my destination...I thought I heard a car coming and I saw a car was almost ready to come out a side road onto the ave. when all of a sudden when what I thought was the other car turned out to be an ambulance and of course just before it got to me it put it's siren on to warn the car coming out of the side street. I almost had a heart attack because I wasn't expecting for that to happen.I know I yelled out loud OMG (the words) and had to stop. Well, if I'd had a heart attack I guess they could have stopped, scooped me up, and thrown me in the ambulance with whoever else was in it. Walking is supposed to get Adrenalin going...today it sure did. I hope everyone has a great week-end...we are promised good weather.  Later, Luv, Alice   ♥ ♥ ♥
