Hopefully, some of you are old enough to remember the above person who made saying 'howdy' a whole new language. My folks loved to watch Minnie Pearl and of course, with only one TV in the house, us kids did not have a choice but to watch what they did. My Dad was a country boy at heart. He loved Tennessee Ernie Ford, The Grand Ole Opry, Porter Wagner, Conway Twitty, Charlie Pride, Hee Haw............just to name a few. My mom was partial to Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and all those crooners that sang love songs back in the day.
My brother and I were rebels. We were products of the 60's and 70's. So we were right in the throws of Woodstock and the Vietnam War. My brother was a big Beach Boys fan,I was more Peter, Paul and Mary type. But then came the British Invasion. It totally rocked my world. My brother was not as big a fan as I was. By the time Woodstock came around, I was totally infatuated with Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, Joan Baez, Sly and the Family Stone, etc. The British Invasion groups were taking a back seat to Woodstock. Well, other than the Beatles.
These days, I am pretty open to most music. (Not so much opera though) I love mo-town, rock and roll, some heavy metal, easy listening, classical, a little country. Yet, most of the time I listen to Contemporary Christian music. Big change from Woodstock, huh. LOL
OK, so that was not what I had planned to write about today. WHOA! I guess sometimes, that type of thing happens.
I am sitting in my craft room writing today as Hubby wanted to mop the floors where I normally sit and write. I have a couple of really brave dogs in here with me. (They do not like cleaning days)
This morning I did get a loaf of bread in the bread machine. It should be done in about 30 minutes. I finally got all the laundry put away. (No, laundry does not belong folded in a laundry basket LOL) I have worked with my sourdough starter in hopes I can get it to take off again so I can make a loaf of sourdough in the next day or two. The starter (Emilie) has been doing well. I just needed to do a little more feeding so she would swell up a bit more. After lunch, I will be going into the pool for some more water aerobics. I did not go yesterday as I was wanting the sunburn I got the other day to settle down. It was not a bad burn, just a little pink on the shoulders. (And that is with sunscreen 50 on!)
Each evening, I have been working on my WIP's. I have 2 finished and am hoping to finish a third before Sunday's wrap up. Tune in Sunday to see which projects have been completed.
My daughter and her husband, gave me these flowers for my birthday, Monday. I smile each time I walk by them. They are such happy flowers and such pretty colors.
I found a funny to leave with you today.
Until next time...................happy crafting & stay well!
I enjoyed your trip down Musical Memory Lane. I was 10 when Woodstock happened (and was completely oblivious), but with older sisters I was aware of how popular were the Beatles, though I don't think they were allowed to own any of the their albums. lol I do remember listening to a Herman's Hermits album, though, and playing it just now on youtube I can almost still keep up with I'm Leaniig on the Lamp Post. By my late teens years I was more into country, folk and ballad singers and loved me some sad love songs. I was a melancholic romantic dreamer - too shy to talk to boys through much of highschool.
ReplyDeleteI was part of the 60's generation and remember Minnie Pearl and all the rest! It's supposed to be in the 90's today so I wish I had a pool! Although there are also storms coming so probably wouldn't be in it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI hope your sourdough "blooms" for you. Your flowers are so pretty! I am hoping to work on some crafts today also and maybe finish something for a change??? LOL! Cute joke!
OMGosh, sorry...a belated, happy birthday to you. Gerber daisies always bring a smile to my face.
