The Bluebird Patch

Oh what a night! This past Friday we had the experience to watch the  Tony-award winning show 'Jersey Boys'  at the Fox Theatre.  JERSEY BOYS is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons : Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. This is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty. Jersey Boys is a full-fledged, well-produced, amazing Broadway experience. The show is straight forward biography and is a must see even if you are not into Broadway musicals. The songs are played exactly as they sound in the original soundtracks. The audience goes wild, and as much as you try to hold it you always end up singing and dancing with the crowd. I swear. I'm still humming the songs in my head.... The show has a ...

  I POOP, YOU POOP , EVERYTHING POOPS Poop is really fascinating stuff. Some people are not aware that poop can be used to build homes. You can also use it as firewood, or toss it around as a sport. Some wild animals eat it, others use it to send messages, while some squirt it over themselves to cool off. As part of evolution trees started growing fruits in order to trick animals into eating seeds which they spread around in their droppings. Poop had a very important role during World War II. It was used to hide explosives knowing that German tank drivers thought it was good luck to drive over them.  The Scoop on Poop at the Fernbank Museum is a interactive, Science-Based Fun Delivers the #1 Exhibit about #2! Is a must see for the entire family. It's on view from May 26 through September 3, 2012. The Scoop on Poop , is a hands-on, humorous approach to learning the science of studying animals based on the clues they leave behind. There's tons of ewww and lo...

  There is no happiness without liberty and no freedom without courage... Thanksgiving is the day we pause to give thanks for the things we have. Memorial day is a day we pause to give thanks to the people who fought for the things we have...  Memorial day is much more that having a day off to hang out with friends and family. This is a day were we show our patriotism and gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made for us.  On Memorial day please turn the spotlight on our fallen heroes and the sacrifices they made for our country. Always remember that freedom isn't free, it never has been and it never will be. It has been paid with tears, blood, and incredible sacrifices for the last 200 years.    May God eternally bless the American heroes who gave all. Happy Memorial Day, America. Never forget.
