Wordless Wednesday-Creatures of Habit

Wordless Wednesday

Grand Child

Nothing could be grander!

Michael Jackson-One Last Post

Childhood. He said this was the song closest to his heart. I only grew up watching Michael Jackson and his brothers on tv. I was one year older than him. I never kept up with his music much past "Puppy Love" and such. But I'm not gonna judge him.

Heal the World

Good-bye Michael Jackson. I hope you found a better place.

Fun Monday-Breaking the Mold

Jill over at Lil Mouse is hosting Fun Monday.  

What happened the day you were born? Did you ever think about what your birthday shares with the rest of the years in your life? What happened then a tragedy, a funny stunt, or a sports phenomenon?

My birthday was August 4th, 1957.  I was born on a Sunday in Enid, Oklahoma at 8:10 pm.  I was born in St. Mary's Hospital.                                                                                                                                                                  Here are some happenings on that day.

Births:

Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon- Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother was born on this day in 1900.

Louis Armstrong was born on this day in 1901.

Percy Bysshe Shelley was born in 1792 on this day.

And last but not least the President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born on this day in 1961.

Here are some events (tragic ones) that happened on August 4th.

In 1892, Lizzie Borden axed her step-mother and her father 40 whacks!

Anne Frank and her family were captured in their annex by the German gestapo.

The First World War began on this day in 1914.

The number one song hit on this day was "Teddy Bear" by Elvis Presley.

The cover of Time magazine looked like this:

The best picture was "The Bridge over the River Kwai" starring William Holden.  I always wondered why I loved this movie!

 
And how could I forget the best reminder of my birth year? The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air?   We are both classic models.  

My first Postcrossing postcard

Thanks to Karmyn I joined Postcrossing and I have received my first postcard from Ingrid in the Netherlands.  She once lived as an exchange student in Mississippi.  I am sending my next postcard to Mari in Finland.  This is fun!

Daddy and Mommy

There's immediate joy after the birth of a baby

More details to come.  It was quite an emotional experience.

For now I must get some sleep.

Lola

The time has come.  If the baby doesn't come before

Wednesday, June 3rd, she will be induced Wednesday

evening.  My daughter is certainly excited and a little

nervous, especially if she has to be induced.  


Here are some lovely photos of she and her boyfriend.

Life brings change.  

Not looking backward, but forward!

It's a journey.  Together.

I've not tried Weekly Winners in a long time, but for more go visit Lotus.

Why Would You Pull An Ambulance Over?

The outcome of this have yet to be seen but it probably won't be good. The woman was being transported to the hospital for heatstroke. She is ok.

For more of the story, it's  here.  You've just got to ask yourself, why?  Couldn't it have waited until they got the woman to the hospital and unloaded her?  What a setup for a lawsuit!

This We'll Defend

Army Song

Caisson Song (1908, original version)
Over hill over dale we have hit the dusty trail
As our caissons go rolling along.
Up and down, in and out, Countermarch and right about,
And our caissons go rolling along.

For it's hi-hi-hee in the Fifth Artillery, Shout out the number loud and strong.

Till our final ride, It will always be our pride
To keep those caissons a rolling along.
(Keep them rolling - keep them rolling)*
Keep those caissons a rolling along.
(B-a-t-t-e-r-y H-a-l-t!)*

The Army Goes Rolling Along (1956, current official version)
typically only the first verse and refrain are sung (not including the intro)
Intro:
March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We're the Army and proud of our name
We're the Army and proudly proclaim
Verse:
First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army Goes Rolling Along.
Refrain:
Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e’er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

Verse:
Valley Forge, Custer's ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton's tanks,
And the Army went rolling along
Minute men, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army keeps rolling along.
(Refrain)
Verse:
Men in rags, men who froze,
Still that Army met its foes,
And the Army went rolling along.
Faith in God, then we're right,
And we'll fight with all our might,
As the Army keeps rolling along.
(Refrain)

1973-One of the most memorable years of my life

M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

Making use of a timer

I used to sit on these lions 

when I was little.

It was the most beautiful and sunny day we have had

in weeks.  So we took a little trip to Woolaroc.  It's very 

near our home and such a wonderful place with 

lots of animals to see.
