Life and Times on Thursday

 


Good morning,

Ya, it's been a minute!   
There's been little in the way of Noteworthy happenings.  In between more doctors' and audiologist appointments, however, we've enjoyed some nice luncheons out.   (Imagine, if you will, a placard on my windshield, "Will drive for food.")


Like many in these Southeast states, our weather's been "Rinse and Repeat" for the last 7 days.  Perfect napping weather; not so much getting stuff done.  Our weeds are singing, "More, More, More!" and meanwhile I'm whacking an aisle for little Grace to do her business.  (I don't suppose I'd be inclined to "go", either with big wet blades of grass tickling my underbelly.)  TMI?



Speaking of singing!

Is anyone familiar with Chloe of 96.3 Easy Rock?  I accidentally happened on one of her Facebook reels and now, each morning, look forward to what snippets she's shared -- from the perspective of a faceless driver.  Different. 

For instance,





I agree with what one reader said: "Amazing how one song can take you back to memories you thought you had already left behind.  The memories it carries are not always the ones you want to relive .....how music has a way of keeping moments alive -- whether we are ready for them or not."

Naturally, some decade's selections strike me more than others, but I thought you might want to check her out.



What else?

My mind's all over the place today.  
I wanted to share something my DIL recently texted (that) gave me a much-needed chortle.

You see, I'd given their rescue pup (Silvia) a bag of Macie Ann's toys -- including one of her little sweaters.
Lois wrote, "Silvia's not a fan, but P likes it!"





Something different

There's more to say, but
 we're to meet up with Pastor Janet and a few others in a little while for a excursion to Sweet Creek Farm Market.

We've passed it many a time on our way south but just assumed it was little more than a tourist trap.  How I hope I'm wrong!  Even so, the company should be fun and I'm happy to let someone else take the wheel.





I sure hope the sun's shining on your parade today!
Stay safe, and we'll chat soon.

Hugs, Myra

  1. Oh yes, the sun is shining here today! I'm always glad go see sunshine and blue skies, but now and then we do need the rain!. I remember springs where it was too wet to mow, that was in Ohio, not so in Texas.. We always appreciate any rain we get.
    I love Farm markets especially ones that are more like fairs than anything else. You can find just about anything at them. Be prepared to bring home an armful! Love, ma

  2. How music has a way of keeping moments alive – that is so/too true. The picture of P gave me a chuckle, that’s precious. Hope you have fun at
    Sweet Creek Farm Market, if you find it really is a tourist trap, well, just act like a tourist!! We’ve got sunshine on a rainy day!

  3. "I don't suppose I'd be inclined to "go", either with big wet blades of grass tickling my underbelly." Now my mind is doing somersaults. I should try that sometime when the grass grows a bit. Over here it is so hot all the grass has dried out.

    God bless.

    1. What a sweet thing to say! She's been experiencing a good bit of separation anxiety so we're inclined to love a little harder.

  5. I hope you have a ball at your Ladies Day Out and like Mary said , if its a tourist trap, act like a tourist and just jump in for some fun.
    Lets just not talk about weeds ok? Why is it always like Groundhog Day with those guys?
    Sweet little "P" and I love the Wash and Rinse weather you are having.
    Looking forward to hearing how your day went.
    Hugs

  6. Oh yes Myra...music is something that sticks with us through and through. I may not remember the words of poetry, but if there is a song I like, I can remember every single word. Guess what...we too are getting the wash and rinse weather...It has been wild ...storms one minute and the next hour or so, it's complete humidity and the sun is scorching... Enjoy your excursion...hugs to you..

  7. We are finally starting to get some much needed rain...not as much as you are, but at least it's a start. Still no puddles on the pond, but eventually it will have to start overflowing when it soaks in all the rain. Music...oh yes...it does bring back the memories...some good, some sad, some romantic, and then of course Gospel music/hymns, etc., have the best impact on me. Oh, such a sweet picture of P. She is so so adorable! That is funny. Too bad she'll grow out of it. I hope you had a good time with your friends. It's all about the fellowship....I can imagine you needed it. I would love it myself. Great post. You sound happy.

  9. That photo of Penelope is priceless, Myra! I think she probably has dog-lover written in her DNA. Time will tell. I have no idea who Chloe is, but I recently came across an autographed photo of two of my all-time favorite DJ's at a former Atlanta station that played the "oldies." Brought back so many memories of good times in better places. Blessings!

  12. Glad you had some nice lunches out after those appointments. So you have had a lot of rain. Sorry about that. We need some. No, I am not familiar with the station. That's sweet about the toys. Cute picture. Hope the Sweet Creek Farm Market was fun.
