Just Delightful

Last Wednesday my son and I were out and about in downtown Santa Rosa, and unexpectedly we found ourselves in the midst of the weekly Wednesday Night Market on 4th Street.  What fun!  All the food, the produce, the purveyors, the party atmosphere.  It was a great way to end an afternoon of running errands.

But what most tickled my heart was this fabulous motown/soul cover band.  They were really great - their sound, their cool moves, their energy and infectious happy spirit.  You couldn't help but start tapping your feet and bouncing to the music.  Well, unless you were under 40!  As I looked around I noticed that all the dancers and watchers were - ahem - "of a certain age" and the younger ones (like my son) were bored and wondering what all the excitement was about.  Yeah, they'd heard this music before, but it is just .... now....so....UNcool !!!!  I laughed with the old fogies dancing, because it was DELIGHTFUL!!!

The photo is when they were singing "Dance to the Music" and the crowd just went wild.  "A high degree of enjoyment".  What else in life is more important than that?

In honor of these DELIGHTFUL feelings, I'm sharing this simple card, made with real wood and super-easy watercoloring.
