The music and visuals are perfect!

Thank you! I only know I am having fun with this AI music thing. 😂

That is some gorgeous fireplace and the view, too! We seldom used our fireplace so I was grateful when we decided to put a gas one in. We use it all the time. Yes, I miss the sounds and scents of a real fire, but that's easily remedied by candles and You Tube.

And it sure beats no fire at all.

When Hubs read this substack he said - you know it was a pretty amazing build wasn't it. LOL! We live with things and don't notice. Lots of stories on this build, including when the contractor noticed the stone mason was going all the way to the ceiling, he had one of his subs go down in the basement and build a support structure. I don't know why I didn't put gas logs instead of the electric. Regardless I am glad I didn't just let it sit cold and dark.

Love this! Considering buying an electric fireplace tv console for my house!!!

We like the one we put in the master at lake house for our TV to sit on - Actually puts out heat too.

Very wise perspective.

When something is done, it’s done.

Though I think I will not see

too much future, growing old,

in what's left I'm gonna be

going for the bling-y gold.

I may as well aim really high

and break me in the process;

I will not have "I did not try"

among my carried crosses.

I cannot say that I quite know

how to get from Here to There,

but clearly I have got to go

that I might see the tall free air

'neath wings that I constructed here

with a purpose firm and clear.

Excellent, as always. You are putting these in a journal, right?

I send them to a friend, who's putting them into a file. There are several thousand sonnets, all written as comments to blog posts. The word count is past War And Peace, and probably past the Bible by now.

When I die they'll figure out what to do with the things, and I don't envy them.

Oh yes, let the heirs deal with the sorting. LOL!
