Today Is Saturday, January, 4, 2024: This Is What Happened.

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9
questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it HERE.

1. We're beginning the year with a song about new beginnings. What is something new you'd like to try in 2025? I'm usually up for an adventure. Go up hot air balloon.

2.  The lyrics recall what was said "in the mist of the midnight hour." Where were you when the new year dawned? Asleep. I'm dull. But usual dull keeps one out trouble. Right?

3.  The Axwell of Axwell and Ingrosso is Axel Hedfors. He began as a drummer and moved on to experimenting musically on the computer, eventually mastering music sequencer software. Do you consider yourself more a technophile like Axwell, who loves technology and digital devices, or more a technophobe, anxious about learning new programs? I like to try some photo editing. Or all the do-hickies on my camera.

4) His musical partner is Sebastian Ingrosso. Sebastian became interested in dance music when he accompanied his father, a choreographer, to the studio. When you were young, did you ever go to work with either of your parents? My father worked on fright trains. I went to the yard and he took me on tour. I even went in one diesel engine. And blew the horn. My mother ran a raspberry and strawberry patch. I picked berries. People ask me if I'm good and fast picker. Well the truth is I'm not.

5) Axwell & Ingrosso gave their premiere performance at the 2014 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City and their last concert at the 2017 Ultra Music Fest in Miami. Looking back on 2024, did you attend any outdoor music or theater performances? I went to my first drag show. Does that account. Also I went a local play.

6) In 2017, when "Something New" was released, we lost the TV star who could "turn the world on with her smile." Without looking it up, do you know who that is? No

1. Also in 2017, Today Show anchor Hoda Kotb announced she had adopted her first child. Do you know anyone who is adding to their family in 2025? I don't know

2. Have you made any New Year's resolutions for 2025? Not really. But I try to be the best person I can. Hopefully it helps make the world a better place.
   
   

3.  9) What was the first thing to make you laugh in 2025? I was laughing watch some ole TV show, couple night go. But I don't recall the show.

Yes, I never heard of this song before or the artist. You can add your LINK HERE

I haven't tried uploading photos from my camera for a while, and I haven't even taken any. It seems around the end of the year or the first part of the year for some reason. The camera and computer aren't on friendly terms.

A couple of packages arrived, some hard candy and powder eggs. There are still some books I ordered for Christmas gifts for those down in Oregon. Now it says it will be there on the 8th, a day earlier. I am not ordering anything in February.

I will be ordering in March. I know I will have to order Art Journal for my Granddaughters Claudia and Bree. I will also give each one a little more, plus their siblings.

We went to art down at the local tea shop and had some ginger-flavored tea. We wrote a letter to the year 2024 and did a page opening to 2025.

Today's art movement is Neo-Impressionism. I watched a few videos on this subject. I like most impressionist work. Today, I will be sharing the works of HIPPOLYTE PETITJEAN, whom I had never even heard of. He didn't do that many works, So I'm leaving a link for those who want to look at his works. The painting I'm sharing's location is unknown.

Coffee is on.
