Music

Hi,

We knew when we got up that it would be a warmer day.  In the sun, it turned out to be a hot day.  The rest of the week will get progressively cooler, then cold.

Some of you remembered the ‘Easy Monday’ song as “Lola” and you were right.  Hope you’re ready for this week’s ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ tune:  “__ __, my little __ __, see how you got me spinning.  Going ‘round and ‘round and I don’t wanna stop.  You’ve got me so if I don’t go ‘round I am sure gonna drop, gonna drop, gonna drop.” Hint:  This is another tune featuring the vocalese technique.  It began life in 1947 and has been covered through the decades.  

This morning Cat came over at 9:30am and we took off for the flower show.  It was amazing.  Those are the simplest words to describe what we experienced.  We got there before it became crowded and that part worked out great.  Seeing large beds of beautiful flowers was almost overwhelming.  The basic layout of the show is the same each year, as far as where the flowers will be placed.  Because there are paved paths and bridges over streams, it’s a permanent installation to a certain degree.  Everyone wore their masks except for pictures.  So, no more talking.

During our visit to the show, Cat spotted a coffee shop so we took a break and hung out.  By the time we got to the end of the exhibit, it was getting crowded.  It was past our lunch time and we had resisted the ‘goodies’ at the park so we went to Melt In Your Mouth.  We hadn’t been there in a long time and things had changed, menu wise.  After lots of questions and changes, we had a so-so lunch in a wonderful atmosphere by the river.  We then ran those errands I mentioned yesterday and returned to the house for some relaxation.  None of us napped, but it was good to rest.  

This evening we had Mexican food at Sabroso Restaurant.  After dinner we went to The Wanderer for a small, outdoor gathering of friends that will be a once-a-month affair.  There was food (we had dessert) and drink and live music.  Oh, and two of the family dogs, Mercy and Sally.  I recommend the pumpkin pie, yum.  

So that was our day.  Tomorrow we do Big C and the mall when it opens.  Early in, early out beats the crowds.  Tomorrow night we’ll stay at home with the dogs since fireworks are apparently a big deal here.  

Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.       Wear a mask, wash your hands, and listen to the professionals.

                      Peace,

                                Danny
