I Have Always Loved This Song!




When you say nothing at all!

Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici

"Decreases to us" is what it means.
Domingo, Carreras And Pavarotti in the Three Tenors concert 1994

Libiamo ne'lieti calici (Drinking Song) is the most famous duet from Verdi's La traviata, perhaps one of the most well known fragments of opera around the world, and an obligatory performance (as is this opera itself) for any great tenor. The song is categorised as a Brindisi, which encourages alcoholic drinking. Those who have performed it include Luciano Pavarotti, Giuseppe di Stefano, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Enrico Caruso, and many others. The words were written by Francesco Maria Piave.

I got a couple of giggles out of this and to see 3 men with such a passion for music art, it shows that people come in all kind of packages..

Well Hello There!!!

I'm a little scared to come back...Ha!

I've been busy with painting the house, reading with Rye, cooking, cleaning, and today we put landscape lights in our front yard (the small part or the circle), now were on hunt for a cement 2 or 3 tier fountain, and I'd like a cement bench..not sure if were leaving the grass or going to try and work with stone..Still thinking on that one..

It's so funny, when we work together on things we accomplish so much in a day. Today we were working side by side most of the day, and we didn't even get fussy with each other all day!!! YEAH I think working out in the yard for both of us is very therapeutic and we really do feed off each other and he's always saying "what about this Penny, or What do you think about moving it here" he's so funny but we are having fun doing it together!

He's on another vacation next month..I know I here this from everyone I talk to..How many vacations does he have...everybody he has 6 weeks of vacation!!!!

Ok got side tracked there..whewwww.. We've kicked around the idea of camping... YIKES..I'm not up for that this time of year, and asked if we could do something else, cause it's toooo HOOOOTTTT!!!! middle of August is not the best time to go camping for a week..I prefer January or February cause it's cooler and we can go to Flager Beach or St. Augustine. We went one year before Christmas, to see the lighting of the state park over there and it has just stuck in my heart, and it leaves me wanting to go back, the weather couldn't have been more perfect, the company was perfect.

Every morning, Rick would get up to fix a pot of coffee, then wake me up, and then we would walk down to the board walk that went out to the water. We would sit there every morning and drink our coffee and watch the sun come up. Words can not describe how it made you feel afterwards.

Sunrise to me is the perfect time..I've never really watched it before than, and to see that for the whole weekend was just..well Perfect and Beautiful!

It's 1 AM and I can't believe I'm still up! I guess I better get to bed, 6 AM comes early and I only have 5 hours before the alarm goes off..
