Carolyn's Cotton Corner: May 2011
http://carolynscottoncorner.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 8, 2011. Mother's Day didn't seem to be Mother's Day Off. As one might expect, my Mother spent Mother's Day providing music. She plays the cello in a string trio, and they played at several church services today - "That Wonderful Mother of Mine" plus hymns. It's not in her nature to sit back and expect pampering on Mother's Day. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Carolyn's Cotton Corner: Goodbye to Kodachrome
http://carolynscottoncorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/goodbye-to-kodachrome.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. A nice history of Kodachrome, with thoughts about its place in our emotions, here. The story of Kodachrome is a romance itself, an odd intersection of the worlds of science and music. Dad, the professional, preferred Kodachrome over all other films for slides, because of its color saturation and archival quality. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thursday, November 26, 2009. Some interesting thoughts on Thanksgiving. From last year - Thanksgiving Proclamations and Thoughts. This year, an academic piece on the importance of keeping gratitude. At the center of Thanksgiving. We are so blessed in this country. Quotes from a beautiful piece below:. We can remind ourselves that for all our social discord we yet remain the longest enduring society of free men governing themselves without benefit of kings or dictators. Being so, we are the marvel and...

Carolyn's Cotton Corner: Auld Lang Syne
http://carolynscottoncorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/auld-lang-syne.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. Today's a day for looking back and forward. Elizabeth Scalia and Peggy Noonan. With some great thoughts on the song. Dougie MacLean with all the lyrics to the great old song here. It really is remarkable that this song has stuck with us through changes in culture and language. I think that's a good thing. Here's Guy Lombardo's instrumental. If you want to sing it yourself. Another interesting tradition. Hope everyone is looking forward to a bright New Year. Observations on educ...

Carolyn's Cotton Corner: February 2010
http://carolynscottoncorner.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. George Washington's Birthday, 2010. Well, I haven't posted here since New Year's Eve and it's George Washington's Birthday. We also had some beautiful sunny days in January, sort of like Southern California January days. Then more rain, and chillier weather, even a little fog. Worrisome during apricot and peach blossom time. But we need the water. At 92, though, she was ready to go home. She did not have an easy life. She had developed some difficult health problems. Where I sw...

Carolyn's Cotton Corner: April 2010
http://carolynscottoncorner.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 4, 2010. Not a bad Easter Day here. Nothing earth-shaking, which is usually a good thng. Conference was on TV - some things to ponder, and some lovely music, too. Hopeful music - before, during and after the conference sessions. Including a choir performance in a big arena in a spectacular setting, which I had not seen before. This year. Lorilee talked about how people in Russia often leave the city for country houses - tiny to large dachas - in summer. This may help account for the...Educa...

Carolyn's Cotton Corner: August 2010
http://carolynscottoncorner.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 5, 2010. Ray Bradbury - "At play in the fields of the Lord". I ran across this interesting article on the life and philosophy of Ray Bradbury. Both he and Ed were drafted during World War II and went to Europe. Ray stopped driving after the war. When he came to visit Ed at our little duplex in the barrio, it was with a chauffeur, in a big cream-colored limousine. He often wore white shorts and knee socks. Links to this post.
