Now that there is a chill in the air, I have to dig out the sweatshirts and jackets. I have a variety of sweatshirts from events and places visited. My favorite was a dark green sweatshirt from the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago. It was stolen off of me – wrapped around my waist – as I crossed a busy street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras several years ago,. That was freaky – to have your clothes ripped right off of your body in broad daylight.
I just realized that I don’t have a single hoodie. All of my sweatshirts are regular crew neck shirts. Not that it was by design. I guess I’ve never been interested in hoodies.
Back in the 60′s, the development of stereo was big news for the music industry. This song was one of the great demonstrations of how cool stereo can sound. It was also a song that my father loved and he taught my two sisters and I how to sing it for that year’s family Christmas party.
This is one of my all time favorite songs, written and performed by the great, late John Lee Hooker.
This song is performed by John Lee in the Blues Brothers movie and there are other clips on YouTube. But this one from a 1966 TV show is my favorite.
I saw John Lee in concert at Wolftrap when he was in his 80′s and could not stand up to play any longer. He sat in a folding chair and gave a great show – full set – and he rocked the house.
How many adults have a box of crayons in their homes?
I do – I have a small box of 8 of the fat crayons for preschoolers and a big box of the regular crayons in 64 different colors. We break them out of the crafts box when kids come over for a visit.
I can teach young ones how to draw several different flowers with stems and leaves, a duck and a rabbit. My grandmother taught me how to draw a pansy – they were her favorite flowers- when I was just a little kid.
We keep an assortment of coloring books on hand, but to me the biggest challenge about coloring is facing a blank sheet of paper and thinking up something to draw.
I hope some day in the future a grown kid will think of me and the flowers and animals I taught him or her how to draw.
Something that I really have not been taking seriously is the Skin Care Products that I used to rely on back in my younger days when I was so totally into myself and my appearance. All the time and money that was used on various Acne Products just blows my mind when I think of it, good thing that there are new and improved Skin Care Products on the market these days that I need to start looking into for me now. Funny how when you get to my age there are so many other things that take over our lives that we tend to put our own needs and wants on the back burner.
One thing that worries me is the thought of getting those dreaded Age Spots that so many women, many in my own immediate family, have to deal with. So I am going to start looking into what Skin Care Products are out there just for Age Spots and get a jump on the whole deal in an effort to be Age Spots free when my time comes to start dealing with those issues. I’ll keep you posted on how it all pans out!
