  I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover 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: I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover (2001) Selected in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it  here . 1) This is one of the songs included in Willie Nelson's  Rainbow Connection album.  He named it after his daughter Amy's favorite song when she was a little girl. She'd been asking him to record "The Rainbow Connection" for 20 years and finally, in 2001, he came through for her. Think of something you had t...

 Going somewhere, Shadow? Yes, that’s my rolling backpack. Blast from the past … my mischievous kitten She scared me when she used to climb up there! And Duchess as a kitten  And now And my clever Shadow strikes again …  She took the lid off a banker’s box so that she could sit in it.   completely ignored the three other boxes we left on the floor. And Duchess was giving her a “look”.

 You can see how low the planes fly … The things I see on my Ring cameras… The spring weather is supposed to stick around for a few days, then cool down again. I am not liking the time change.  I feel “off”, you know, out of sync. Can we please end this?  But I am liking the wellness benefits my employer offers.  I’m now using an app, it’s digital exercise therapy.  There are actual human therapists that personalize your experience.  I’m focusing on back pain and knee pain, but I’m also working on upper body strength.  15 minutes a day, more if you want.  It feels good. Given the upcoming changes in my work schedule, I don’t think I’ll be going back to the gym anytime soon.  But I’ve got the treadmill and the pedal exerciser, some hand weights, the resistance bands my on line therapist sent, and YouTube videos.  I think I’ll be ok.  My goals are to maintain my weight loss and retain my mobility.  I have too many friends who are...

Spring?

 It was 62°F when I took my walk yesterday. Garden flags are flying in my front yard. And the sparrows have taken up residence! Drew calls me “the Bird Lady of Levittown”.   It’s been a really rough winter.  We always expect cold weather, we always expect snow, but this winter was colder and much snowier than average.  I am so grateful for any sign of spring.

 I’m posting this on Sunday, March 8.  Today is Micky Dolenz’s 81st birthday.  He’s currently touring, his show celebrates the 60th anniversary of premiere of The Monkees on TV.  (1966 was a great year for cult classics — Batman, Dark Shaows and Star Trek  also premiered that year.)  Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith — brought together to act in a TV show, they actually formed a real band.  Micky is the sole surviving member of the band.  And yes, Drew and I are true Monkees fans.  Search this blog and you’ll find countless posts about the band. We have tickets to see Micky next month. So let’s celebrate along with Micky. Micky wrote this one When he performs this one, he likes to remind the audience he had the hit long before Shrek How about some fan video? Video I shot in 2022 And from 9 years ago, Micky and Peter Tork From 10 years ago From 2013 with Mike Nesmith This last video, from 14 years ago …visually very poor qual...
