I've been watching Get Back, about the Beatles just before their breakup. I'm seeing mixed reviews here on LJ about it but I am really enjoying it. Especially getting to watch them write their songs. I think it is amazing to see. We are getting to see what the song looked like as it was being born. The songs don't sound quite right (because they ( Read more... )

I had lunch at Candy's yesterday. She made a tuna casserole - a delicious concoction with tuna, rice and cheese. I need to get the recipe. I brought my camera hoping to get a portrait.

Yes, I have to post about every little thing I do. I got a lot done today. Cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed the living room (Dave swept). Got the nurse's visit out of the way. It seemed simpler and quicker than last year. We both liked this nurse - very friendly and she liked our dogs. And what I am most excited about: I cleared a nice working area ( Read more... )

Snowing right now. 20F. I lit a stick of palo santo incense. There is a window over the kitchen sink that has a leak so the air blows in there. That's where I put my incense ( Read more... )

The question today:
19 What was the first musical record/tape/CD you ever bought with your own money?It was records back then. I preferred LP's over 45's. Not sure but it might have been Dylan or Leonard Cohen. Or Nina Simone. Those were my first favorites. I still like them a lot. I wish I still had the record collection I had back in my teens but ( Read more... )

The question:
11 Everyone always thinks they’d be royalty or a knight if they were born in Medieval times, but let’s be honest, you probably wouldn’t be. So, what kind of person do you think you’d be if you were born in medieval times?Probably an artisan. Making something. As a woman I suppose it would fall on me to be a seamstress. Or maybe I'd ( Read more... )

The question:
29 What is your least favorite musical band? Why don’t you like them?I don't even know their names. People who scream and yell when they sing. People who always sound angry. I don't need that. I'm trying to make my life more peaceful and be quiet inside ( Read more... )

Candy and her son Will went in their vehicle and I drove myself and we met at the Erie National Wildlife Refuge at the Deer Run trail. We kept a distance between us and I do think this will work out for getting together for a hike for the duration of social distancing. A good time was had by all. Pictures: ( HERE... )
