More ramblings

 So we were supposed to have a barbecue Sunday, had to postpone it to Monday because of the weather.  We’re expecting about 10 people.  I’m making a cucumber salad and a caprese salad, They say cats have nine lives.  I don’t know if that is true, but Shadow … I should have taken a picture…she crawled into a plastic bag, the kind we use to store pillows, blankets, etc.  I was afraid she would suffocate. And yes, the caterwauls you heard from my house were Shadow’s complaints.  I was cutting her nails,but you’d have thought I was killing her, the way she carried on … Drew got a couple of weird texts last week from a local hospital.  “The patient is in the ER”, followed by “The patient has been moved to a regular room.”  Nothing to identify who “the patient” is,   Then I saw a post on Facebook … Drew has been very low contact with his sister, but apparently she listed him as her emergency contact on her admission form at the hospital.  We w...

Music Monday

  May 25th  In the US, May is National Barbecue month.  It’s time to go hog wild! Share music that make you think of a great cook out. We we planned to fire up the grill yesterday even though the weather was miserable … have a group of friends over … eat  burgers and hot dogs  … since when is May monsoon season?  The cook out gods were not kind …we postponed the event until today. But the music? We can listen anytime … Let’s start with a classic. Ray Steven wants barbecue  Gordon MacRae prefers a clambake  But Jimmy Buffett … The cheeseburger wins.

Ramblings

 What do they say, the moment you throw something away because you don’t need it anymore, that’s when you’ll need it again?  When I took yoga 10 years ago I bought yoga socks, and  held onto them until about six months ago.  Just had to buy new yoga socks. Yeah, if you look at the lists in this blog from 2016, you’ll read all about my yoga adventures. I’m so happy to start a new yoga adventure. One of my  goals is to take a yoga class aboard ship when we cruise to a Bermuda in October.  My other fitness goal for the cruise is to be able to handle the steps in the Crystal Cave — 80 steps down and 80 steps back up. We went to the movies Friday, saw The Mandolorian and Grogu.  Just what you’d expect from a Star Wars  movie.  Lots of action, lots of special effects, lots of weird characters and gadgets.  We loved it. It’s not even Memorial Day yet, but we are already hearing firecrackers.  Sigh… Weather  has been cold and rainy. ...

Saturday 9

  Soldier Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: Soldier (2016) Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it  here . Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors men and women who served and died in the United States Armed Forces. We want to make sure that message is not lost this weekend. 1) Are you a veteran? Are there veterans in your family? Do you know anyone who is active military? We are grateful and want to hear about it. My father served in the Army in WW II.  He was proud of his service.  When he died, at age 88, thevArmyvsent representat...
