Bell Ringer Hoists 22-Pound Bells For Bucknell

In case you thought Ben Ramseyer's name rang a bell, it really does. Just look at him. There he was Sunday at Morristown's Presbyterian Church on the Green, wielding a 22-pound chime with surgical precision as a member of the renowned Rooke Chapel Ringers of Bucknell University. This performance was part of their National Tour. Watch the video and look for them in your area. I missed this performance because of real estate. Boo Hoo.

I couldn't get the video to appear within this blog post. Here's the link. Read the article and watch the delightful video if you love Bell Ringers. These young people are wonderful! I understand that the performance was packed with admirers. The young man with the big bell is a member of the congregation and started ringing in kindergarten. How nice.

Aren't you glad I'm interested in so many things? Add Bell Choirs to the list. Rosemary

White and Inviting

Another stunning room. Simplicity personified. Spotless white woodwork and upholstery. Pleasing arrangement. A+ This would match my exterior today which is completely white because of the 4" of snow that was deposited overnight. It's beautiful. xo, Rosemary

Wonderful Child's Room

Nice. Perfect room for a child of any age including a second childhood. I forgot all about Groundhog Day yesterday. Staten Island Chuck said spring would be early this year and Punxsutawney Phil said spring is 6 weeks away. I think Phil is right. Enjoy the day, Rosemary.

Taylor Swift Sings Off Key

I am just going to say it. I don't think Taylor Swift has a good voice. I watched the Grammys on Sunday night and saw her receive award after award including album of the year for FEARLESS. She sang a duet with Stevie Nicks and was totally off key. It is wonderful that she writes all of her own songs and is so cute and such a good role model for young girls. I don't consider my "ear" to be that good but I just don't understand her runaway success. A singer with this much notoriety should have a wonderful voice, the keyword being singer. Yesterday, a music critic on NPR voiced this reaction too, so I know others must thinking the same thing. The next time you hear her on the radio, close your eyes (not if you're driving) and listen carefully. I guess people are buying her music and liking her adorable package in spite of her voice. Just my opinion. Agree or disagree?

I love galley kitchens where you can almost stand in one spot and pivot. This one totally works for me. via

Stupendous Rainbow

Breathtakingly beautiful coastal rainbow. This appears to be a winter sky judging from the foliage. The sky at my house looks as if it could bring some snow. Hope you find something half this beautiful in some form or another to brighten your day. Webster and I are off to the recycling center. Rosemary

Perfection

Utter perfection.

I find this so soothing to look at. I could never maintain it though. I'd have stacks of books and magazines cluttering up the place in no time. I'm totally traditional myself, but every now and then a modern interior catches my eye. The designer showed great restraint in leaving only negative space above the fireplace. Very Zen. See you later, Rosemary.
