Wednesday Medley

Terri’s questions for the week:

1.  The first spring flowers are usually daffodils, dandelions, lilies, tulips, iris. and lilacs. Which one of those choices is your favorite?  Have you seen any yet?
It’s too early for flowers here, except in stores. Tulips are my favorite  But you forgot to mention crocuses.  hHre are the ones from my yard last spring.

 

2.  What is your least favorite thing about spring?
It takes too long to get here!  Really!  I'm ready for spring by the end of January, but I have to wait until March.  No fair!

3.  Okay, what puts a spring in your step?

Warm, sunny weather is a start....
4.  What is your favorite springtime song?

 


Yeah, I have a weird sense of humor.

but htis one's OK too:


 

5.  What really says spring to you?
When the forsythia bloom.  I see those yellow blossoms and I know warm weather has arrived.



6.  Tell us something random about your week.
I hate being sick.  I stayed home from work yesterday, there was just no way I could manage.  I'm feeling better today, but tea is my new best friend.
Timing was lousy, I have far too much to do before I go on vacation Friday.

    I hope you feel better before your trip. Bright side: at least this didn't happen while you were *on* vacation...

    So sorry you have been sick. Feel better!
    I have some flowers up at my house. My crocus and daffodils have bloomed. My tulips are trying to grow, but that is about it. I still haven;t checked on the iris's. Loved your answers! Happy first day of Spring!

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
