Good Friday morning! In place of the cozy, autumn-ish lake photos this morning, I am sharing a picture of my favorite city, Pittsburgh!
Why? You may ask. Or maybe not. But I am sharing it because this past week, I left the comfort of my little piece of the world to travel here with some of my favorite people to see one of my favorite artists!
On our way! And not me being so thankful for a son that loves to drive.
A mandatory stop for dinner before the concert and photos to document the night. And the fact that I do indeed own clothing that is not and does not resemble pajamas.
As well as documenting the fact that I am blessed with children that love and enjoy spending time with each other.
And then there was the concert. We saw Post Malone, one of my favorite artists ever. I titled this post "Full Circle" because that is what I thought as I stood there with three of my four children. Music has always been a part of our lives and one of the first things I shared with them as babies and toddlers. Back then, it was tapes of Mozart as they slept and old nursery rhyme songs as we played. Specifically, it was Walt Disney Records children's favorite songs Volume 3 with Donald Duck on the cover of the cd. We listened to and sang songs like Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be? and Grandfather's Clock.
Eventually, those little toddlers grew, as children tend to do, and developed their own taste in music. Or, as in Peyton's case, a preference for reading instead. A few years ago, Rhett introduced me to a new young artist named Post Malone. And I loved his music. Does it fit the vibe of a 50ish mother of four who likes cozy, coffee, books, and being home? Maybe not. But when Rhett heard he was coming to Pittsburgh, he got tickets. Really good ones too. It was a fantastic night, and it was not lost on me that these young people were so happy that their mom was along.
He was amazing, even with a cracked rib from falling into a hole in the stage last week!
Thoughts and prayers to all affected by the devastation the hurricane left and will leave behind. It is worth remembering that while the initial shock is broadcast on tv during the event, the loss and destruction remain long after for those affected.
Finally, because I cannot finish without sharing some cozy autumn pictures...
There. That's better. Have a lovely weekend, my friends! Thanks for visiting!
And thanks for the fun on my last post too!
Billie Jo
Looks like it was an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteI am shook (in the best way) that you love Post Malone. You think you know a person! Ha! I love this type of music as well :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDelete"As children tend to do" tell me you LOVE Mrs. Doubtfire too?! I love that you love Post Malone and I am so glad you got to go to his concert! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to spend time with your children and see a great concert. Enjoy the weekend Billie Jo.
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you got to go to the concert and share it with your kids. I must admit though, I know nothing about Post Malone and probably wouldn't know a song if his if it smacked me in the face. LOL Those are some awesome pics though!
ReplyDeleteThe spider at the top of your page... eek! I have to say I'm a bit freaked out over spiders, even if they are not real. I wasn't always this way, but I was bitten by a very scary and poisonous brown recluse spider when I was twenty-eight years old. So, even though that was nineteen years ago, I'm still terrified of spiders! Okay, on to what a fun night you had in Pittsburgh! You know, I've never been there (except for an airport layover), but I've always wanted to visit! It sounds like such a fun city! And yes, I'm also a Post Malone fan!! My brother introduced me to his music about three years ago. So glad you were able to see him in person with some of your favorite people! We are staying in today and tomorrow as we are expecting a decent amount of rain and wind from the storm. Hope it passes quickly. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad you all had so much fun! I think it’s wonderful that y’all could enjoy this together! And oh my goodness…I LOVE your purse! 😍 I’m a Coach girl and I’ve never seen this one! Beautiful fall pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!!! I love that you went to a Post Malone concert but love even more that you went with your kids! And why does Flynn look 19 ????? Enjoy a cozy weekend friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely wonderful family outing! I'm sure the concert was the best! And your little pup - adorably decorated for fall ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the family get-together! You all look adorable!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. My husband loves Pittsburgh, he served part of his mission there.
ReplyDeleteI love this! How wonderful to have kids that want you to come along. You have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! It looks like you all had a great time at the concert. I like the new Halloween layout too! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love that you love Post Malone! I don't know much of his music but I love how warm and friendly and genuinely happy he seems when interacting with fans and especially kids! I am a NYer through and through but Pittsburgh is such a great liveable city - my son is considering it for college next year!
ReplyDeleteI love that you went with your children to the Post Malone concert. Looks like a great time was had by all. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state. We have visited lots of places but not Pittsburgh. I love your cozy fall pictures. Have a great weekend. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteLikes a fun time at a concert with your children. I'm not sure if I've heard that name of Post Malone 🤔 I'll Chek it out. Megan and I went to a concert Friday evening in Salem. Casting Crowns 👑 healing tour. That group.with CAIN and Anne Wilson. Beautiful time with music 🎶 and blessed time knowing that God was in the midst of the concert. I've seen leaves falling lately as well. My brother and a few other people I know survived the hurricane last week. Some were 300 miles away like my brother. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteYou went to go see Post Malone.. how cool is that! I love what you said about the kids.. it's a blessing to see them growing up and still loving each others company.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun night! It's great of Rhett to take a selfie of all of you. Love that picture of you and Madison. It's nice to take road trips like this once in awhile, and it's wonderful that Rhett drove and that he loves to drive. Pittsburgh sounds like a fun place to visit. The Fall leaves photo is so simple and got to me right away. And your doggy looking out to the yard is the cutest thing. ; )
