I Hit The Motherload - Jigsaw Puzzle Style

Yeppers, 10 puzzles in one box - can you believe it!  I am in jigsaw puzzle delight.  This jigsaw puzzle above near reminds me of my kitchen.

I will no longer do my trivia to you on my jigsaw puzzle addiction.  Trust me, it is a fun thing for me to do, passes the times, and I truly enjoy it.

Happy B.C. Day

Mount Robson.

Enjoy and be safe.

John Prine - Vancouver, British Columbia

An Open Letter to John Prine 

Dear John - I hope you and yours are in good health and spirits.  With your eternal fan base to which I am one, I do wish to make a request.

Granted, I understand you could never make it to the mountain side to where I live - enjoy fishing and my fine home cooking - lol.  But geez, could you get to Vancouver in 2016?  

I PAW (Prine at Will) and recently I played your music/songs for our new seasonal neighbor folks who reside in a suburb of Vancouver.  I loaned on up to Pyro (that is not his name, but a nickname I gave to him), some cds of yours.  He knew of you and enjoyed the cds.  Upon our next visit Pyro asked me ...does John come to Vancouver...I replied - oh yes and he is due in 2016.  Generally, John you do come to Vancouver every four years.

Pyro says to me he and his partner, Wendy would come to Vancouver - Bev - could you meet us there?  Was there ever any doubt!  

There is nothing Prine finer than going to a Prine concert with who folks who Prine.

Now I will sit a spell and I will not fall off my perch.  But eh, Johnny - we will see you in 2016.  I'll bake!

Thanks 

Truly Prineing

Ben/John Prine and I

From October 2009.  It was such a fun time, I am remembering it today.

...In August 2005 I attended a John Prine concert in Vancouver, British Columbia.  As I strolled outside at intermission I noticed a gentleman standing among the Prine folk.  I did not know the man, but later that evening I saw him again, standing outside the venue after the show, waiting for John Prine.

This was the concert where that fine gentleman strolled me on in to meet John Prine.  Holy Smucksville!

Two months later, I was walking out on the dirt road on the mountain side and noticed a van...these folks looked lost.  I walked on up to the van and asked if they required some assistance.  There was an elderly couple and what looked to be their son.  We chatted and I asked if they would like to come on down and see the creek.  The father replied sure.  When we got to our home, the Mom said, she would stayed up by our home with Noisemaker.  The Dad, the son, and I walked to the creek.

When we got to the creek, the Dad said - this is Paradise.  I said just like the song Paradise written by one of my favorite musicians.  The son look at me and said, John Prine...you are the lady in the black vest, I remember you.

In 2009 I am back in Vancouver to see John Prine ...again.  This time with Charlene.  After the show we went to the back alley to wait for John Prine.  Who is out there but, Ben.  I yelled on over - it was a Prine moment, it was golden.

Jigsaw Puzzle Addiction

I seem to have a jigsaw puzzle addiction.  Nice addiction to have - lol.

This was one of my favorite puzzles to do.

In the round.  Fun to do, but I could not get my mind around it.

I Have Me A Cowboy. . .

I have me a cowboy now. . .

My seasonal neighbor whipped this up for me.  It is made out of horseshoes and welded together.  It also holds a wine bottle

...when I was a young girl, well I had me a cowboy

he weren't much to look at just a free rambling man

but that was long time and no matter how I try

the years just flow by like a broken down dam

Beaver, Pickled Eggs, Daisies, and Wood!

Late, I am.  Hope you and yours had a Happy Canada Day.

I have been busy doing wood (splitting and stacking) preparing for winter.  In doing so I came across, twice in a row, pieces of wood that were branched.  I broke/split it apart, varnished them and added for a friend in the flower garden.

...like sunshine feeding daisies

like the love hidden deep in your heart...

~John Prine~

In the meantime, I made one of my favorites - Pickled Eggs.  Should be ready for B.C. Day - first Monday in August.  I hope my south of the border friends took a moment to sit a spell, perhaps have a beer and a pickled egg.
