Gordon Lightfoot== Rockin to the Oldy!

Okay, this was an unusual concert, it being probably Gordys last one that we will see, you see, he is about 70 years old, has not the best tone anymore because of massive stroke, and parkinsons, he had a vocal range of 3 notes, they were the good three notes, but when I yelled out for him to sing Alberta Bound, there was no response or a rendition of the melody, just another droning song, with lots of scratchy throat noises, now yes I am being harsh, but being a fan, a real fan, I have everyone of his albums, yes-- till some thug stole them all, all the cds I have ever owned from my vehicle, I am now started accumulating more , his old songs are wonderful, he was a hunk a mania back in the day, and ever since Patti and an old boyfriend, may I say Gert, loved him, since the age of 12 years I have loved him. Loved his singing, his balladeering, his folksy ness, I have gone to many concerts of his, probably more than John Denver who i have seen multiple times. Anyway, a bygone era, it was nostalgic to say the least, with my sisters, Patti and Rosemary, we had some good laughs, so listen to him, and try and think of what he sounded in his prime, I know its a strectch. So here's to Gordy, Our Last Balladeer

Bestest Invention for the Elderly

Well I have to explain this, cause it was dang, cute., We get to Walmart and Dad was looking for a particular electric shaver and they needed groceries, so you know they are on the opposite ends of that store, and I was not going to have them hobble around with their canes, so I told Dad to take a cart Mother you take one. Mothers was quite a bit faster , so she always wanted to follow Dad., they were so cute in the store. Of course, I was in the lead, skiddaling around, and them following me, I actually stopped a man and said, arent they the cutest people you have ever seen. I wished I had my camera in the stores but I didn't, so i ran to the car and told them to stay still, they did, but unfortunately in the cross walk, so I told them they needed to get out of the street. But they were great sports, we didn't find the shaver but the food we did. so funny.

Witch Mascot

Yes, as usual Grandma Briggs brought up our mascot, for we are the welcoming committee, she was very particular about the pom poms, and the signs, but alas, when we went to pick them up the last day, some thief had removed the witch from the stake, yes, had actually cut the witch with a wire cutter. Mom just said, oh well, i hope they enjoy her.

WHAT IS YOUR TASTE OF YOUR YOUTH?

When this question was posed to me, immediately I thought of mashed potatoes, I love them still to this day, but I don't make them very often. Of course, it would go with Roast Beef or Chicken. So yummy!
