About Me

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

REVUE 2017 with our CHOIR & Memories of MOM

On May 6 we did perform for the REVUE 2017 with our Choir at the local theatre, together with 3 younger girl choirs; Mockingbirds, Hummingbirds and Knightingales.
We are called the Empty Nesters, the Knight Owls and all under the leading of Kelly Knight.
For me it was the very FIRST time to participate with those Empty Nesters and some of them performed 6 times already.
Here above we are dressed up for our Song: FEVER
It is singing and dancing...
REVUE 2017 We Are Strong click link to complete video from TV35 WDIG
At Minute: 10:46 you find our song: FEVER
Husband Pieter did snap this photo from me in my FEVER outfit, before I left for the Matinee performance at 2:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM.
Wearing my Escada silk blouse with Red Roses over new black Wolford leggings that arrived by special courier.
For the actual performance I wore these Chanel shoes with low heel...
Silver & Gold set of jewelry from TANE, México City, the Tiffany of Mexico.
Those are the special things we found during our time of Consulting when staying at the Camino Hotel Polanco Mexico.
They had great boutiques!
Necklace, bracelet, earrings and ring.
My spot was top left, on the risers.
Here we sing: HOME, which is visible at minute: 42.14 on the Youtube video.
For this song some ladies just had toned down their outfit; no boa, shimmery top or hat...
WOW, here we all turned into ROCK STARS by singing: JOURNEY at minute: 1:02:00 on the Youtube video.
Well, on Tuesday May 2nd during rehearsal at the theatre, on the risers, I did fall off towards the end.
I had practiced all my steps at home, in front of my Mac's full screen with video and on the solid oak plank floor of our office...
Boy did I have to reprogram my brain for making tiny baby-steps on the narrow risers!
Nothing broken, only my left thumb got bruised, my right underarm and feet.
So for that purpose of having to perform on the risers, I did NOT wear these Escada sandals...
Top is a bargain from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th.
A Karl Lagerfeld cropped top with a leather look rose appliqué and buttons with roses.
Coming close to the desired look of Leather Moto Jackets and jeans.
Thinking about Singing, I know in my heart that my Mom would have been so proud of her eldest daughter performing as a 1st soprano, just like she did for three decades!
And Mom was wearing the perfect outfit for JOURNEY when her photo was taken here in Macon, Georgia in 1996...
Missing her once again around this Mother's Day but I could certainly feel her presence.
She is always near and safely in heaven with my eldest sister!
Right after we performed JOURNEY, we moved closer together for performing our final song: WHEN I FALL IN LOVE
The ending of WHEN I FALL IN LOVE... (made popular by Doris Day).
Husband Pieter did enjoy the evening performance and I will one day watch the entire video of almost 2 hours.
What a special gift from one of Dublin's Talented Ladies that had the vision for teaching young girls for 20 years now! 
What an impact it has had on our community and it taught them so much more than just singing!
So many young girls benefited from being taught confidence, poise, grace and expression!
Well, we, the 'mature girls' did also learn so much.

And the audience loved it!
Could not believe this incredible deal when I received my email notification from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th.
Only US $ 39.99 so I snatched that up right away!
You'll dazzle in this glossy textured cropped top...
Love this fashion score!

Hope you enjoyed this little mention.
We are off now for 3 months, without any rehearsals and certainly look forward to starting again with this fun group!

Thank you for your visit!

  1. Glad to hear the concert was a hit, but sorry to hear about your fall. I was always in choir in school -- made it to honor chorus one year where we traveled and competed with other schools. :) You worked hard to prepare, so take it easy this weekend.

  3. Hello Mariette, Good for you to be out and doing something like this. I might like to join a band of some sort (i.e., concert or brass), but the problem is that in Cleveland even the amateur musicians are so good that I am not in their league!

  10. Oh, what fun, dear Mariette! So glad you were not injured too badly - stage falls can be very dangerous! Love your beautiful ensembles and don't you look so sweet, singing away! We can see how tiny you are ......I sang in a choir in high school. It is so much fun. Lovely photo of your dear Mother. I'm sure she was right there looking down and feeling very proud.

  14. No need to fall or break a leg to give a performance, Marietta. :) You look beautiful in each of the photos! I'll have to play the video on YouTube. How wonderful that we can play and listen to it ... miles away and after the fact. How did we live without the internet?

    Hope you have many ocassions to wear your pretty Escada silk blouse with Red Roses over new black Wolford leggings. They are especially lovely!
