The Mountain Side

The photo is coming down off the mountain, going to the city. Everytime I look at this picture, I cannot believe how high in elevation we actually live and exist!

I think last night, Bruce Springsteen may have been a lil bit on the higher elevation side...he was doing a concert at the Auburn Palace located in Michigan....

...he came on stage and said ...
'Hello Ohio'

Maybe he needs sometime on real higher elevation - the mountain side.

Quiet On The Mountain Side

It has been a quiet couple of days on the mountain side, I have not been quiet up to par. When I thought of 'par', I thought of parlapiano and how I should be par-laying (my french). I have several made up french words.

Yes, I received some sort of 'I am tired now' bug, I had no energy. I have been trying to stay on taking some of noisemakers vitamins (those seniors kind), it is kind of hit and miss. Same hit and miss with the ColdFX pills. I am not a pill taker, I would not make good hospital material.

Tomorrow is our community Christmas Bazaar; lots of the area artists/craft folk sell their merchandise. It is great for the community. We always buy our jam there. You can buy llama wool sweaters, lots of knitted items, baked goods; it is a fun event. Noisemaker and I hope to attend but we have to be back home at a certain time because sports on the television is near at an all time high.

Neil Percival Kenneth Ragland Young

I cannot wait nor sit any longer to wish Neil Young a Happy Birthday - smucksville he is 64 tomorrow! Somewhere on earth is must be passed 12 p.m.

Neil was born in Toronto, Ontario to Rassy and Scott Young. He is an artist, a musician, and an activist. For some reason, unknown to me, he has been cast with the title - the Godfather of Grunge. He spent his teenage or somewhat thereof, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The photo you see above is thanks to Phil Parlapiano (god, I like that name - everytime I see it, I think I should be at a parlor playing piano). Phil has played on several John Prine songs. See more at http://www.parlapiano.com/

Remembrance Day/Veterans Day

Lest We Forget.

His Life Was Taken Away Too Soon

It saddens me to have write this, Bubba is no longer with us. He was killed instantly by a truck this morning. It is just so sad.

We had snow overnight, this morning was beautiful sunshine. I was out shovelling the fresh blanket and Bubba stopped by. We played, he was having such fun in the white stuff, running and playing.

He went back home and I walked up to the mail boxes. I heard commotion and ran up to the road side only to see Bubba laying there, still. I knew what had just taken place. I ran home in tears.

I feel very sorry for Chris. He was doing so good with Bubba; he was trying to be responsible and do everything right for his new puppy. Bubba has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and I know my four legged love is taking really good care of him.

I Have The 'M' Thing

Menopause, is a fact of nature and I do feel somewhat sorry for folks (female or male) who gracefully place their heads in the sand. . and think yep - there is nothing wrong - nothing makes sense, I opt not for that.

There is a sense of time, where nothing seems right - I refer to that same feeling when I was turning a teenager.

Now I think I want M&M's, I want chocolate! Dill Pickles! Peace and quiet.
