Summer, and clouds, and storms oh my!

Told ya summer wouldn't last long...lol...well, at least the storms are showing up throughout the night...not so bad I suppose... I felt I must post something considering that some of my childhood icons are dropping like flies and I'm starting to feel a little less invincible every day...lol... Okay, first of all...Farrah...dear blonde headed, hot bodied, envied by women, lusted after by men, adored, then later in life pitied Farrah...I suppose she lived a fairly rich life. I mean, men loved her, as I said, adored her actually...she had a buttload of money...but she never truly seemed happy. I mean, her son is in prison and wasn't able to attend her deathbed...her glorified "common law husband" was a drunk and woman beater. Nice....NOT! Well, rest in peace ye olde blonde bombshell... Okay, okay, secondly but certainly never ever least...Michael....oh yes...revered, adored, admired, rich beyond belief....loathed, hated, child molester, black, white, crazed man child Michael Jackson...what can I say? You taught us our abc's and 123's in the 60's (before my time, hehe), you were "Off the Wall" in the 70's, you "Thrilled" us in the 80's...you taught us it didn't matter if we were "Black or White" in the 90's then for all intents and purposes completely fell off the grid in the new millenium. I suppose nobody could blame you what with the lawsuits, bankruptcy threats, child molestation charges, health woes...yadda yadda...still, a little piece of me will always remember you as you were in your hayday...a moon walking, crotch grabbing, insanely rich, brilliant and talented teen idol. Thanks for the memories MJ.... Oh, I guess I should mention Ed McMahon died too....um...well....Johnny....Heeeeeeere's Eddie! :o) RIP ... Well, that's my rant for now...love you all.....and you all know who you are! ;)

Ciao for now my pretties....je t'aime...xoxo

Oh glorious summer...welcome back...

Oh how I miss those days of my childhood when all there was to do was swim, suck on popsicles and wait for the sun to go down to catch fireflies and sit by the campfire and roast wieners and marshmallows. I remember swimming all day... making sand castles, covering my entire body with mud then jumping back in the water and feeling how soft my skin would feel afterwards. I remember boat rides, fishing, and ghost stories. I remember hanging out at the arcade at Wilderness Park and attending bluegrass festivals. I remember drinking pop shoppe pop by the case and playing tag with all the kids in the campsite. I remember "Six Pack Lane" at Carol's Campsite and all the friends I made there. I remember running the chip stand and pretending I was older than my 13 years since it was against the law to work that young... I remember long walks in the woods, and going to the drive in with Rerun, and Evan and Belinda and Lynne. I do miss those days, however I suppose the time has come to make new memories. Those summers were the best of times though, and I never will forget them. I'll carry them in my heart forever. Oh glorious summer, welcome back...:o)

June...summer...oh summer...where are you??

Hello peeps...so, what have I been up to you ask? Not much... getting busy getting the house up to par, trying to get the yard to look decent, trying to find a new job..... Well, the good news is, I found one...yep, yep, I'm once again employed...I'm happy about that...I'll finally be able to catch up on some bills. I'm not a big fan of overdue notices if you know what I mean...so, finally I'll be able to go shopping and actually buy something once again instead of paying bills and have 13 cents left in the bank...lol...Oh well, c'est la vie...talk to you all soon...I'll let you guys know about the new job and how it's going real soon....

Ciao for now bellas,

Linda
