Snelling & Snelling
And a big book seller the name will come to me it began with a B. . Also a 'twin' Damn I cant even remember . . .?baker & Baker??
This is going to bug me now
So later in a bit, I'll try to get back! To YA
Dunn & Bradstreet!!
Man still
I was sixteen it was a system, they offerd jobs to students
In youth literary mags, and then it went down hill fast I ended up running a video rewinding
'Desk' in a warehouses!
I have to go be Daddy'O's and shovel snows!
Screw the snow let it lie . .
That comment got me to thinking which led to a
Head ache, !
How many days in the Ditch? Consecutive summers, days in the vicinity,
non extended 12 day stands ?
What happened to my '71 impala?
I've pointed out I don't talk to the family much, when was that trip?
hey what year was it with the family unit?
We took an RV that the grace company gave dad for the summer a winabago
They spent a lot of wine down time, the folks Did,
Dad scraped the door shut on the winding 101?
Which was fun . . I got to use the escape hatch the rest of that summer!
I went to look for the bicentennial sweater that is a treasure it was not '76 it was from '85?!
This means that what? The trip with my folks is memorable but it seems I'm all akimbo
Ferkoktta too!
Hertz we try hader! The RV was a perk the trip was rough on us kidz
at each other
and me
Biddy biddy bom! Anatefca .All day long!
sun rise..,, ,sunset. , (the way the came out, No post work)
I was small then too it was when I was able to sing the entire score(every song and line)
Of fiddler on the roof! So working backwards that must have been seventy two?
Where did I spend the bicentennial ? If not in the valley why do I remember it as being so?
Just a bit over a year all totals, at most, damn no wonder I'm such a whiney BIOTCH !
Never got enough time in the Big ditch
, I'm depressed!
Hey, no more whining we said!

I know where we were on July 4, 1976. At Patty and Malcolm McGregor's at Sunrise Mountain Ranch on Agua Fria Road outside of Mariposa. I know this because our new baby was just a few weeks old when we hitchhiked over from Santa Cruz.

[Click to View YouTube Video]Gypsy,
I am reminded of the signadura who called you over from her fortune-telling shack in Planada on the opposite side of the road and proceeded to do her thing with the oil and the water in a bowl to show you your futures.
(She was not exactly Corsican, living in Planada.)
And when she delivered her prognostication, that you were pretending to like one another, and that the child would be nothing but a burden for you two, you both laughed, gave HER the evil eye, and headed back to the other side of Highway 140.
HAHA! Fooled that old gal!

hey there say, mouse... not to worry... as to bunny...
from what i learned, he was a sweet rabbit and had a long life, by his owner, though he died, finally, through old age, :(
the owner is yes, sad... but we hoped to help him feel better, and:
after she surprised her friend with this, she knew she had done well...
sweet pets, so innocent, yes... wish life was full of such
gentle friendships, the world over, in human form, as well as critter form...
:)
good thoughts for the day... and all from a little bunny, whose job
on earth is now... done... oh my...

hey there say, gypsy... wow, what a wonderful and sweet share, there, as to the 'being born to parents like you'...
:)
thank you for sharing so many thoughtful things...
and memories...
i have so many treasured memories, from south texas, but, they did not lead to where a young mommy hoped, in life, so they are packed away for in case of use, for whatever, someday...
but i made that trail, the best success that i could, and had to forge
a new one...
now, i am making NEW ones, i reckon... :)
wow, fun to visit here and see such a variety, of life...

No it meant fire water as much was consumed there by members and non-members of The Flames.
No Zbrown, we only made it as far north as the Cairngorms in Scotland so we did not go as far north as the Shetlands.
all four of my grandparents were born in the Azores Islands.

Vincent's eldest, Evi, on the museum's old upright.It's the first time anyone's ever sat down and seriously played this old thing while I've been there. It was a very nice concert, ending with Tantum Ergo, the Latin language benediction hymn.
Meanwhile, the cyclists still circled the courthouse in a clockwise direction.
I've come to this conclusion on bike races that don't have lots of spectators...it's like watching paint dry.
The finale of today's races was a humdinger of a race, with one group of six breaking away and that was that, but some efforts were made by followers to bridge the gap, to no avail. It was an exciting day, all in all.
I spoke with Elks.
I spoke with the homeless.
I spoke with proud moms.
I spoke with a piano player.
I spoke with a bicycle.
I spoke with wild sparrows (I think).
Wheel see you tomorrow with more pix from today's action.
