I Have Been Busy. . .

My first knitting project.  lol

It is a fun to remove myself from our abode on the mountain side.  Relax, take five, learn to knit -and most important - giggle.  I partake in the Friday morning social with the gals, it is great fun.

People Do Not Giggle Enough!

Neil Young

A few of the magazines I have of Neil Young.

Here are the books:

Written by Scott Young - Neil's Dad

Neil will always wage heavy peace.

Oh Neil, you are a Special Deluxe!

A must read.  

John Prine - Uncut Magazine

Best Uncut magazine I own.  Lower right hand corner - John Prine.  Upper right hand corner - Neil Young.  Smacksville in the middle Bruce Springsteen.  What a treasure I have.

Here is the first page article on John Prine, it is pure Prine Smucksville!

Uncut Magazine November 2005

As a side note, when I met Tom Reynolds (Crusher) some years ago, the article from Uncut on John Prine was one of the first items I sent to him.  I went to the copy store and ask if they could do 11 x 19 or so - they did and off the Prine went for Crusher.

John Prine and Yours Truly

Oh my, I just smile when I view this picture.

Yours truly and John Prine - Vancouver - October 2009

He was signing my Hatch Print.  I was so thrilled - I get down right goofy gigglin' just looking at this fine photo.  Photo taken by Charlene Stevenson.

A John Prine Christmas

In December when our ladies auxiliary had our christmas party, as a member you could if you wanted to, make a basket of goodies.  I opted to do this and one of the items I included in my basket was A John Prine Christmas.  Not that they get a real John Prine in the basket - lol - but the cd.  The basket was won by a friend, an auxiliary member.

I saw her the other day and asked - eh, what did you think of John Prine?  Her comment was, that music is really good!  Very good.  Well, all righty then, (my cue), I can make you some more, if you would like.  Oh sure, she replied, I would like that very much.

Included in her upcoming good year will be - John Prine (the debut album) and Standard Songs For Average People ~ John Prine and Mac Wiseman.

I love to bicycle and I love to peddle Prine!

Archie Roach

Archie Roach

My brother told me today about an artist he had heard - his name is Archie Roach!

This is wowsville!  From born under a tree in the outback of Australia to where he has securely landed, is an incredible feat.  He has strength, the will to live, and the power of his voice will echo to you.

Christmas 2014 (part two)

Christmas Fudge Wreath.  I made this for our annual ladies auxiliary christmas party.  Such great fun it was, I do so enjoy the christmas party.  It is made with Eagle Brand and there was not a slice left.  Everyone enjoyed it.

...and here we are. . .

To all visiting my page today. . .

To you and yours, Merry Christmas.

Christmas 2014

Merry Christmas John Prine Ornament.  Sits right here on my desk.  My tree is too small to fit it but it fits nicely here. . .

Hope you all have a tuneful John Prine Christmas.

Swagaprineola

oh teehee, you all had to see the coming.  Priceless it is.  I cannot stop the giggle mode.

John Prine and Oh Boy Records should do this.  They should have a contest/Swag - lol.

See more of John Prine here:  http:ohboy.com, www.jpshrine.org

All The Best - it is near Smucksville Swagaprineola!  

Swag-A-PalOoza

This swag stuffola is just too funny for me.  I recently was visiting a website from Chef Michael Smith - (see more at http://chefmichaelsmith.com).  He is a great chef, indeed.  Today he offers swag.  I have only heard swag once before.

I live in rural British Columbia and I do not venture on out to cities very much. My knowledge of the 'know now' language is limited.

I have, in the past invented my own word, Smucksville.  I love that word.  I invented it when the grandkids were young.  I did not want to curse, but I wanted to get my point across.

Smucksville, can also be in an elated way - as in - wowsville.  The bombs bursting in air, fireworks, anything that does make a person on the side of happy.

Truly, the majority of folks should try to side on up with happy.

I recently turned 59 and when I went outside in the darkness of the morning of December 8th - I did sing -

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday dear Beverlee
Happy Birthday to me
