I've had an interesting day. For starts, I connected with four friends, including my friend Marsha who, along with her carry-a-tune-not-necessary singing group, rocked and stomped at the opening of the Senior Day Care program where she works. I went to be sure that there was sufficient clapping. If my video skills have improved at all, you can hear Marsha for a few notes of Over the Rainbow. Made me smile just watching her have fun. Made me feel good to tell her it was fun.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! THIS IS HILARIOUS. Read the small print. HAHAHAHA!
The guitarist's name is Sally Ally Muffin Stuffin. For REAL! Officially!
And here you have it. Marsha is the furthest on the right.
I am recovering nicely from my bout with pneumonia. I have been writing substantially. Last night I ordered four books from Amazon, all of which I expect to use as "research" for the love and relationship aspects of my novel. I heard three of the books recommended on NPR's 'three books' series: Geography of the Heart, We Love Each other But...., and Mating in Captivity. The last one looks at why the closer and safer a couple feels toward one another, the less erotic they are in their relationship. Anyone who wants to comment on that hypothesis is welcomed to. :^)
Here's wishing you a happy weekend. If this video of Marsha singing actually comes out, I am going to dance around my couch.
Love kj
Commence to dancin'. I can agree with that statement, in a comfortable relationship you don't have to bounce of the walls or suffer carpet burn. All the proving testing and looking for just the right touch is complete.
ReplyDeletemark, personally i've never minded carpet burn :^)
Deleteyour comment made me laugh out loud. and YES to the right touch. good that you know that.
:^)
Funny poster. Nice harmony on the song. Glad you're better.
ReplyDeleteTake care, still need rest.
hi kay, you comment about harmony made me laugh just a little. but i;m sure marsha will adore it!!!
DeleteI've always wished to know someone named
ReplyDeleteSally Allie Muffin Stuffin.
I also love the name of the singing group. Perfect.
she was her own trip, babs. back to the 60-'s in a flash!!
DeleteI the group sounds ok - and pretty much in tune! (The tambourine accompanimant is *questionable* though! A-ha-ha!) Sally is to be commended to makig these events happen....they are really needed as our world ages.... MUSIC is so healing - and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYou sound better KJ.....hope you will still take things a little slower.... Emilwee has departed SF (that electrical storm was just TOO MUCH for her sensitive ears)......she should be home soon.... (armed with a plethora of *Avocado* jellies)!
Wuv,
♥ Wrobin ♥
robin, thank you for being honest!! i quite agree :^)
Deletei am better but i surprise myself that i have less stamina. i'm planning next week as i normally would and then i think, 'oh maybe not'
glad to hear that emily has left SF. did you take pictures?
love
kj
Glad you're feeling a little better, but remember to rest. It is so important with pneumonia, resting is the cure, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love the group. We have mostly country and western and bluegrass groups at our senior centre...we all enjoy the music and the healing that comes with it, including the staff and volunteers.
Make sure to rest up for Emily's return home...she'll be sure to take any peace you may have built up for yourself, haha! xx
marion, is pneumonia contagious by telephone? ha! and yes about the healing--music has such power. i keep telling myself to learn to strum on my dusty guitar. i want to impress mr. ryan and spunky drew and sleepy logan.
Deletelove you,
kj
The last one looks at why the closer and safer a couple feels toward one another, the less erotic they are in their relationship.
ReplyDeleteHAHA that explains it!!! I am now going to believe this is totally true! Happy w end pal. xxx
joss, hahahaha! relief to millions!
Delete♥
Wonderful fun. Feel all better, have a great weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the doctor and love that quote!xoxo
ReplyDeleteannie, oh that i could write one tenth like dr. suess. he is my role model when i rhyme.
DeleteKj - why are all those people walking by while they are singing? SO RUDE! Lol! I think they did pretty well, honestly. I especially love the tambourine enthusiasm. ;)) As for length of relationships and all of that, well, I will fall back on my prude credentials and refrain from commenting. REST! xox
ReplyDeletePS Did you dance around your couch? :)
Prudie1, some people actually stood BEHIND the performers! I was happy to just clap myself silly. My friend Marsha is a gem; she was tickled to sing even with part of the audience behind her!
ReplyDeleteI danced around my couch just after I finished a bowl of cookie dough ice cream. I obviously must know how to care for myself when sick :-)
As for your refrain, you are a wise woman. I shouldn't 'have admitted about the carpet burn :-) hahaha
Love from prudie2
I have so much to say about so many different posts, I don't know where to start...
ReplyDeleteSo I'll simply say, I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend & I am enjoying playing a bit of catch up. ♥
xo
Kristin
p.s. I looove that "Horrifying Moment" picture!
Kristin, kiss kiss!
ReplyDeleteah dr.seuss...yay for getting the video up, you must be getting comfortable with your mac. i did not know cookie dough icecream was part of the cure for pnuemonia! i hope your having a restful sunday. xxx
ReplyDeleteLori, I LOVE the Mac. !!!!! Even the word processing program, called Pages, has simplified everything
DeleteOh my dearest friend, of course cookie dough ice cream. It's the same principle as chocolate cake for the flu
:-) & xoxo
I feel very safe in my long term relationship.
ReplyDeletesigh.....
Hahaheehaha Mim!
DeleteI just love you!
I am with Mim........sigh. Must buy that book :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are recovering:)
Glad it gave you time to write. Probably when you felt better you would have written less, so many other things to do then.
Nice to see the video So I was there too :)
Been to a party this weekend and yesterday my twin nieces were here.
It is cold here.:(
But today I will drive to Rotterdam and visit my Mom and friend Aulikki
Take care keep getting better!
♥M
Marianne, I must keep my erotic comments light . Sigh indeed.
DeleteSo true what you've said about being sick and having time and in my case writing. I'm in a zone, Marianne: oh how I wish I had a month to just write. And to play with my grand kids at the sea....
Love love have fun marianne
That is the FIRSt time in my life I ever heard a tamborine accompany "Over The Rainbow!!!" hahahaha! Good for Marsha!
ReplyDeleteserious writing is getting done. Yay for that!
And your pneumonia is getting done too. Yay for that!
I have missed many of your posts. Please consider me caught up from this point okay? I'll try to be better.
And I apparantly missed a call from you last night which I just heard an hour ago! I'm calling you right now.
Good night tamborine queen ;)

ReplyDeleteYes you are caught up :-)
Love you tunafishiwish
kj
Glad you are feeling better. Loved the video! Well done - have you done a few laps around the couch in celebration?!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, I planted pansies instead:-)

Hi dearest,
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise you'd had pneumonia...have been awol with a couple of viruses myself...hope you've been looked after darlin...lots of pampering...ordering books yes can identify with that...so exciting when they arrive...and yes expect you did a little turn around the couch after that video....and sally...boy...you'd have to be a strong woman to put up with a name like that...a hug to you across the miles...
Chrisy, I've never ordered four books at a time. That is good medicine!
DeleteI hope you are feeling better too, darling.
Coming on fall, eh?
Love
kj

ReplyDeleteSuki,writing and reading about writing....and about love...
