songbird's crazy world

  Apr 27th   America’s favorite past time for many starts up again for professional baseball players.  You don’t have to be a fan but it could be fun to pick songs that include the teams’ mascot. Stretch this prompt to fit your play set however you want! Well, actually, the season began the last week of March, and Drew and I have been watching our beloved Mets for weeks now. We’re missing a few favorites who have left the team, we’re getting used to new faces.  Gary, Keith and Ron on TV, Howie Rose on the radio …all’s right with the world.  Even the disappointment feels familiar. Our Long Island Ducks started their season as well, the first game we will attend is May 2. I did a very elaborate baseball post two years ago for Music Monday  in  July .  I’ll just post the highlights today.    The game can’t get started until … This one is about some of the greatest in the sport.   My loyalty lies with a certain team    And 198...

So as I  previously mentioned , we’ll be sailing to Bermuda in the fall. And one of our shore excursions will take us to the Crystal Cave.  I was a bit nervous about the cave ,,. There are 80 steps down, and then 80 steps back up. The steps at the Green Grotto in Jamaica did me in … Then Tony from La Lido Loca posted  this  on YouTube. It’s the excursion we booked.  If Tony and Don from  Don’s Family Vacations  can handle those steps, I can, too.

 

 Weather in New York Weather in Florida  Yes, we are in Boynton Beach.  Sunshine and palm trees, while back home the weather is miserable. We’ve been staying with friends who live outside of Tampa, on the Gulf Coast.  Today we (Drew, our Tampa friends and I) drove across the state to visit more friends.  They live in a lovely community with lots of palm trees. Today I learned about a Florida scourge: love bugs .  Seriously, the whole front end of the car was covered, it was disgusting…we had to find a car wash…

 So today we visited a piece of old Florida.   Tom & Jerry’s Airboat Rides Our ride: An hour on the lake with Captain Brent.  A real character, barefoot and with a thick Southern accent.  He knew where to find all the alligators.  We also saw lots of aquatic birds.  And lots of cypress trees draped in Spanish moss. After our ride, we went into the gift shop … and we got to hold a real alligator. .another fun day in Florida!

  Good 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 to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Good (1995) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . 1) This song begins with a guy realizing he's home alone. Do you enjoy being all by yourself? Yes, sometimes. 2) He watches the sun throwing shadows on the floor. Which room in your home lets in the most sun? The kitchen. 3) He sings that he may write a letter to his ex. If you were inspired to send someone a handwritten message, do you have stationery or notecards on hand? What about first-class postage stamps? Ye...
