1. Ginseng. I love to hunt the stuff. I no longer dig it...I just like to find it and see it growing. And photograph it. But when I was a kid, my mom and I would hunt it and what money came from it could go for things for school...material and patterns to make my clothes. I don't remember if I bought other stuff with it or not.
2. If you are a grandma, you might enjoy reading Granny by Sean Dietrich. I did not grow up close to any grandparent and have always felt like I missed something in life. But I sure as heck enjoy being one...my heart just sings when I know Lorelei is coming. Last weekend when we went to bed, she asked me, "Do you enjoy sleeping with me, Mamaw?" I said I did...she ask, "Do you REALLY enjoy sleeping with me?" I told her that I did. She then asked did I like sleeping with her better than anything...I told her almost...she only thought a second...she said oh, I know, Papaw!
3. For a little bit of laughter, how about Mama trying to go to sleep in a hammock?
4. And then I can almost guarantee that you will get a warm fuzzy feeling if you watch the following....and maybe even laugh a time or two.
I saw this video a few days back on the blog Not Afraid of Color.
5. For a taste of music, for those of you watching The Voice, maybe you would like to hear something from Gwen/No Doubt.
I listened to this song about a zillion times when I worked at the orchard. (I would make mixed tapes and listen to them. And certain songs appeared more often than others...)
6. And how could I leave out Alicia
I had left the orchard before this came out, but I can guarantee you if it had been out, it would have been on a variety of cassettes.
That is my few bits of randomness....I hope you seen something you liked....
Linking to Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday 5....
