We are ...

….. still hanging in there, dog-paddling in circles.  Things could always be worse!

Happy June, by the way!

I'm thinking ...

I want to pick up a tennis racket on my next Wal Mart run -- to keep as a weapon while out in the back yard.  It's not been proven the 'murdering hornets' have actually made their way to Alabama -- but Tom said they were spotted at the flying field last week. One of the members was stung and had to be taken to the E.R..  Another claims to know someone who was bit and had to be put on a ventilator for 24 hours.  Good grief!

I'm thankful ...

For finally coming to the last roll of that awful 'Charmin strong' toilet paper.  Even tho' we've more of the 'good stuff' in the closet, I'm like, "Girl, you've made your bed, now go lie in it."

How about you? If something's a disappointment, do you throw it by the wayside or muddle through 'til it's used up?

I'm looking forward to ...

Tom's video appointment with his UAB cardiologist today.  Not so much, our having to travel to Opelika tomorrow for pulmonary tests. Tom's grown weary of things being put off and says he just wants to know sooner rather than later if they find anything amiss.

Makes me smile ...

Radiorecliner.com

If you've not heard of this grass-roots iniative ...

it's a commercial-free radio station run by residents of senior-living communities across the U.S. -- social distance broadcasting from their rooms!

Curious, I had to check it out.  And, in fact, spent the better part of Saturday morning on the computer, surfing and listening to the likes of --

Frankie Laine, Elvis, Slim Willet, Patsy Cline, Electric Light Orchestra, Mamas and the Papas … even Bob Hope and Shirley Ross' Thanks for the Memories. (I'd never heard that song all the way through before.)

The resident "DJ's" commentaries are a hoot.  One old fellow was saying he'd been married once, but she passed after only 10 years. "I never remarried", he continued. "But I've had a variety of girlfriends. I'm still looking for my soul-mate, but it's tough on account of my age and my disabilities."

Listeners can -- and do -- call in with requests and dedications. I hope when all this season of darkness is behind us, RadioRecliner.com keeps doing its thing.

Now, if you'll excuse me I want to go think of a suitable musical request!

Y'all have a good (safe) week!  Talk soon!

Hugs, Myra
