A little randomness...

1.  One of the 'coffee club members' out at Hardee's told us it is supposed to snow this weekend.  And supposed to lay.  I don't know where I have been cause I have not heard that...not sure whether I want it to be true or not.  But if today is anything to go by, it is not going to happen.

2.  I have sewn a little bit almost every day this week...even just a little bit is better than none!

3.  We actually bought some Christmas gifts today, and I found one yesterday, too.  I already had a couple things, so at least have a start. 

4.  Has anyone else watched Indian Summers on PBS Masterpiece?  I think this weekend will show the last episode and I don't see things ending happily for anyone.  YouTube has some full episodes right now, if you are interested. 

5.  I have accidentally published more posts the past few months than I have all the previous years of blogging put together.  Fact.

Edited to add:  I should have added I meant I published more posts before they were ready...I accidentally published them as I was getting them ready.  Sometimes with only the title written...sometimes with only a picture uploaded!  


Just have to leave you with a little laughter.  I have searched for years for this from Mama's Family--are you old enough to remember it?   You may have to turn your volume up.  Don't miss the first lines nor the last lines.




Linking to Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday 5....

Pumpkins, get your pumpkins!

I am thinking I best get these photos posted while it is still the time to enjoy them.

These were all taken at Shipshewana the first week of October.

I just happen to love the color orange...

I also love all the textures

I wonder if all of these are just for decoration or are they edible?  Or both?

I don't like pumpkin pie, do you?  I think they smell simply delicious and I used to make them for Roger.

I was cruising along through the day, doing this and that, a couple loads of laundry, messing with sewing, etc and thinking that wow, I was getting a lot done.  I looked at the clock and it was alread 4:30! And there I was thinking it was about 2:00 or 2:30.  But Roger had fixed fried rice, so I had to do no cooking...

How about you...does your day sometimes slip through your hands without you even realizing it is passing?

Tripping down memory lane...

I was over at East Gwillimbury Camera Girl's blog and seen this post...well that part of the title that says 'Slays the dragon' kicked off a search.  For a song.  I could not remember the exact phrase...but knew there was one with something about slaying a dragon.

I did searches for the phrases 'slay the dragon' and 'slayed the dragon' at all kinds of places and could not find what I was looking for.  I ask Roger could he think of a song that has the phrase 'slay the dragon' in it...he couldn't.  And I could not even tell him anything about it.  All I could hear in my mind was 'sl... the dragon'  I could not quite make out what form of the word slay was used.

So I looked and looked and looked some more.

He mentioned the Superman Song which is by Five for Fighting.  Well, that wasn't it but it did lead me to looking for artists similar to Five for Fighting.  And I found the mention Colin Hay, who was a member of Men at Work--are you old enough to remember them?  Anyway,  it led me back to this song:



I don't remember how I originally found this song, but it is one of our favorites.  We have sat here and listened to it two or three times.

Along the way I happened to bump into The One I love/David Gray,  which made me want to look up Shatter/o.a.r,..along with All I Want/Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Then I found this...I think you will enjoy watching it.  One little boy is really shy, but the other end up having a good time.  I had not seen it before but am sitting here with a big old smile on my face:


...so thanks to EG's post, we have had a really enjoyable evening.  I first saw her post at about 8:00 p.m.  and it was about 11:30 before I zeroed in on it.

Does any of the songs bring back memories for you?  And doesn't it feel good to bump into a song you haven't heard in a while?
