Raining in My Heart
Buddy Holly

The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart

The weather man says clear today
He doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining, raining in my heart

Oh, misery, misery
What's gonna become of me?

I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart

But it's raining, raining in my heart

And it's raining, raining in my heart

Oh, misery, misery
What's gonna become of me?

I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart

The Beat of My Drum

When I was a lad and I played in the park
And I dreamed of the days yet to come,
My head I held high and I learned not to cry
As I skipped to the beat of my drum.

Then time galloped on and I went off to war
And I prayed for the peace that must come;
My flag I flew high and I dared never cry
As I marched to the beat of my drum.

And when I returned with the world all aglow,
Then I longed for delights slow to come;
With my head in the sky I forgot how to cry
As I danced to the beat of my drum.

But now it is late and the shadows grow long
And I ponder the end soon to come;
When it's time for goodbye, do you think I may cry,
While I still hear the beat of my drum?

Ah yes, the unforgettable Mae West, the quips that she came out with, very risqué...your one above Bubble, is a new one on me...
One of her most famous is - was..." come up and see me sometime "

Good morning...

Starting out at 42° this morning.. we had rain off and on yesterday along with a power outage.

Kyle can  remove the holter this morning, that will make him happy. Heading into town to pick up a few groceries and at some point in time deliver the holter and a quilt.

If/when the potatoe plants are dry I will dig them to can.

Bubble thank you for the new beginings. My friend used to say he was bilingual...English and Obscene. He was an old war vet and told it like it was.

Better get ready,can't go to town in my nightwear!!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning all.

 

Amy, I'll carry on the conversation from before Bubble changed to a new room........I only had to cut corn off of two cobs so it was easier and quicker than trying to find my old angel food pan......things seem to get lost in my cupboards and disappear for years.  )-(

Jane, I love having Papa Spuds in my area.  The produce is always fresh and it is delivered right to my door.  Of course, there is a price to pay.......isn't there always?

Amy, I had to wear the Holter for 30 days.  It drove me crazy! After about 22 or 23 days it came off in the shower.  When I called my doctor she said just send it in...we probably have enough information.  So, I know from experience how glad Kyle is to get rid of that thing!   

Take care, All.

      Bring on WINTER!  Another hot and dry day here so I've got sprinklers going in the front to keep the trees from dropping leaves early and already hand watered the big pots in the berm and circle garden in the pool concrete area.  Time to eat breakfast & thinking lunch sounds better.

Thanks for the new home place, Bubble, always enjoy the text you find to share & am impressed with the graphics (old or new stuff).

Long week end ahead so ENJOY!

Phyllis, the holter is off and poor Kyle had to sit while I "unstuck" the tape on his hairy chest!!! He said now I will freeze this winter!
I do think they should come up with a better method of adhearing the holter to you. As one gets old ,their skin is thinner and tears easy. Thankfully that did not happen. I can't imagine what you went through for that length of time! 

Good Mid Morning I slept in again this morning just up for ten minutis. sun is bright and sunny here now 67º @10;10 AM. Have a good day. our deaughter is up and gone next oor teaching the great grands, she home schools the she is teacher qualified. our deaughter and grand deaughter are both school teachers. see you al later' I had my eyes tested yesterday. they charged me $125 eah eye. suposed to get new glases in about 14 days in the mail.that is good cost's lot of $$$ to drive up to VA.

Good September morning from the Interior. At 7:56 AM, it's only fifty degrees and continuing the wet rain from August. The weather report says rain and drizzle all day. No leaves are turning yet, but we should see some this month as temperatures continue to cool.

I've only a month to go before all reports, inspections, and season-ending paperwork are finished for here and state and city.

We've just been declared a drought area and have been asked to conserve water as much as possible!  Today has been a cooler day...sunshiny but not as hot as usual.  September has put it's foot down!

I was up at 5:30 this morning and since Cooper was coming until just before 11 a.m. I got started on the spaghetti sauce.  About an hour ago, I emptied the second canner for a total of 13 jars!  It's been a good day!  And I'm very tired.  I think I'll hit the sofa and let my eyes do what they feel like doing and let my bones and muscles relax! 

Every since Cooper got here just before 11, he's been out in the yard.  When I go look for him, he's just lying there in the shade, taking in the cool air.  He loves being able to be out!  Frankie has to work until 8:30 tonight and then be back in at 7 in the morning.  She's considering leaving Cooper here overnight and just going home and getting some sleep.  I think that makes sense.

I hope you are all having a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Jane, you have more than earned a time to put your feet up!! All this will be tasty coming winter.

I did dig a few hills of potatoes but decided to let them grow a bit more. I have beets and carrot to deal with until then.

Oh, Amy, when we lived out west of town & had a big garden I used to take my fingers to dig into one of the potato hills & feel around for a few big enough to put with some green beans & onions to go with whatever kind of meat & salad for the evening meal... SO GOOD! All I canned was memories.   

Glad to see a few lower notes in the fall songs. Even though the stores are full of Halloween stuff (that is a long way off). I've spent most of my life here in the mid-west where we might have to wear winter coats over Halloween costumes for "trick or treat" & track through ice & snow, OR it could be extremely hot. The hot years were welcome when we were teenagers because one of the girls alway had an "Open House" party in their big garage out behind the house, had huge courtyard to park cars & bigger than double garage so they brought in hay bales to put around the dance floor part to sit on. I never learned to like cider but the parents furnished all kinds of soft drinks & snacks. Great memories.

Good morning

Holiday weekend and highways will be jam packed. Thankfully we don't have to go anywhere!

Just working around home ,may pull the rest of the beets and get them out of the way.

Shirley, that has been done. I love the little ones , just brush them clean in the water then boil them up with their jackets on. Just need butter and
I can make a meal of just potatoes.

Weather has decided to be nice, no swealtering days and cooler mornings now.

Leaves are starting to blush with colour and soon they will all be wearing their fall gowns.

Better get out of my gown and into working clothes.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning everyfriend!  I'm up and attem on a cold 54º morning.  Cooper has had his breakfast and is ready for his morning walk.  In fact, he's parked right beside the door!  I guess I better take him before I do anything else.  Have a good day!

Good Morning again everyone. well I had a nice post made and hit post and the grimlans got it. so here we go again. I went to
va to the eye doctor the other day got my eyes checked , and cost $125 each eye to test and $425 to have them with phota graey put on them,used to be free. but with it dose away with having to carrei a second pair. the older I get the more compcaliated Life seams to get. Life is no fun for me . have a good day just as you like it if you can.

Good Morning.  This is the first day all week I haven't had to be anywhere or someone was coming here at a certain time.  So I'm planning a "leisurely" day!!!!

JaneS and Amy,your "leisurely" days sound very busy to me!!!

Shirley, we've been getting the rain you would like to have.  Most of it has been heavy but "gentle" and is supposed to be lessening the drought conditions we've dealt with all summer. 
However, last Sunday night, it was quite stormy with downed power poles and other wind damage.  Fortunately, my area only got the rain.
  , Lloyd.

Peek-a-boo, Patricia. 

Nothing to report on The Grands other than that they're all busy pursuing their careers.  Well, we do have two "Significant Others" now - both of who fit into the family very well.  Remains to be seen if anything becomes "permanent' - whatever that means these days!

I'm not quite ready for football season to start.  All My Children's Oklahoma State Cowboys won their game last night.  My Oklahoma University Sooners have their first game tomorrow.

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend.

Hello everyone, from the Interior; or as my favorite Italian YouTuber says, "Hello Everywhere!"

We have heavy fog today.  I cannot remember fog such as this, but it's obviously possible.

Time to wish Everyfriend Good Night!  I'm off to the haystack and I'm more tired than I should be because this was supposed to be a "do-nothing" day!  The major thing that got done was cleaning up a lot of paper work and that always wears me out.  I never did like paper work!

I did make a decent dinner (haddock filets, scalloped potatoes and fresh corn off the shelf).  I have 3 freezer dinners and 1 and 1/2 more meals to just eat!

Callie, so nice to see you and I think you might be right!  Even on my day off. I'm not exactly idle!  But I do try.  In addition to cooking a decent meal, I did some knitting and cleanup some paper work.  I guess that's not exactly idle.

Now I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Woops... lost MY post & I hadn't tried to post it yet, just vanished & no "back tab". Been a super busy day & I am worn out. Sun came out & was boiling... more like simmering. I am beyond tired so will stop to visit more tomorrow. Wishing all sweet dreams and God Bless, peace in your hearts and gentleness in your thoughts. But if anyone gives you sass, sock 'em in the nose & smile with a "sorry about that" as you walk away.   

Good morning..

Going to be a humid day, not impressed with that. We have to take the garbage away and if our friends are home go se how the building of their new home is coming along.

Talked with neibour about missing cock a doodle do in the day and he said Horatio is now cock a doodle soup. He said in about 5 weeks there will be another one trying out his lungs with sound.

Jane, that is a prfect dinner to me...all my favourite foods. I love fish as long as you cook the wiggle out of it. I have passed on the information on Rescue Remedy to a lot of olks ,even bought one for a friend to try with their dog.

Shirley, I used to walk away but now in my "wiser" years they get it back and as my friend would say in box car letters!

I woke to the sound of geese going over.......next was a murder....a murder of crows that is and they brought company. They are better than an alarm clock!

Better scoot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We're having a typical, early Fall day today...yesterday, too.  It was cold and misty when I woke up and now has begun to warm up a bit and the sun is peeking through!  This is my kind of weather.  It cools off at night!

AMY, there was NO wiggle in the haddock.  They were buttered, seasoned and had cheese sprinkled on them and were baked in the oven the old-fashioned way!  I'm going to enjoy all the meals that came from this one!

Cooper arrived late and had not had his morning walk or his breakfast!  He enjoyed both and so did I.  He tried to tell me there was something going on outside a bit ago but I looked and saw nothing.  I did hear voices.  My neighbor's son is visiting from Maryland.  And the doggie up at the corner was tied out.  He probably heard both.  There's nothing wrong with his ears!

I took this morning off and played some word games on my computer but this afternoon will be spent in the bathrooms.  They both need a good cleaning and that's the agenda for this afternoon.  When I'm finished with that, I'll take out my knitting! 

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

P.S.  I heard geese yesterday.  I bet they're gathering over on the pond.  They usually begin about the time school starts.

I got caught, too, Jane, but not on word games.  I made the mistake of turning on YouTube this morning while drinking my coffee and got fascinated watching an antique furniture restorer in Maine bring a beautiful old tall case clock back to life.  I didn't get to breakfast until 10 o'clock and already it is time for lunch.  I have messed up my whole day.

MAKE it a good day, Everyone!
