I was watching YouTube videos all evening. Del Shannon.... Brenda Lee... Doris Day... Patsy Cline.... . Dickie Lee... Kyu Sakamoto ... I think it would be so cool to be able to pick a year, live in it for two weeks, and then return to where you should be... . Just think... . Two weeks - all that great music first-hand, and then there is the whole ( Read more... )

I meant to go to the gym today, but I worked late and then had to pick up Ira because his car was at the garage getting a flat tire fixed. We had dinner together, picked up his car, and then went home to watch "Dancing with the Stars" - my other favorite show. Ira likes it too, but not as much as me ( Read more... )

Today instead of taking the freeway to the nursing home, I took the back streets and was utterly amazed at the beautiful colors that surrounded me. This is such a pretty time of year and I need to remember to carry my camera whenever I leave the house. Theresa was doing a little better tonight - compared to yesterday, that is.

After work today I went to visit Theresa, my 99-year-old friend. She's dying I can tell, and even though I know she's had a long life, it'll be hard when the day finally comes. Tonight she was very sore and whenver she was moved (bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to bed etc.) she moaned in pain. It was hard to see and each time I visit her it's a ( Read more... )

Kindergarten starts for Amelia today and I'm driving to Rochester to video tape and photograph this auspicious event. I shopped last night for a "nervous bracelet," not just any one, but a magic bracelet that when rubbed will invite "love thoughts" to come one's way and take away worries. Amelia has informed me that she needs one of these, so who ( Read more... )
