Mockingbirds

The mockingbirds are starting to sing. We're already getting into the 80's. I don't miss the cold weather in WY one bit.

I talked to my team leader today with homeeddirectory.com and got some of my questions answered. I'm enjoying the research and process of selling, working from home, and getting organized.

Here's a mockingbird montage:







I've always thought this was a cool fact about the song of the mockingbird (from http://10000birds.com/mockingbirds.htm): The song of the mockingbird is actually a medley of the calls of many other birds. Each imitation is repeated two or three times before another song is initiated. A given bird may have 30, 40 or even 200 songs in its repertoire, including other bird songs, insect and amphibian sounds, and even the occasional mechanical noise.

Loretta Lynn to play the Saenger in Pensacola on 5/15/2009

Oh how I would love to see her in concert! Anyone available?

I'm working on selling ads for www.homeeddirectory.com and have been out of contact for a couple of days. Truthfully, we added some satellite channels, and I have also been mesmerized by the tube today. Surfing with 150 channels is spectacular.

More news: I have cut my own hair with Wahl brand clippers. My hair is now very short :/ !!!

There is officially NO good reason to ever leave the house.

Festus

Hello All! I FINALLY feel better today - two full weeks of feeling bad. I'm still congested but the antibiotic is kicking it. Props to a great PA that my sister uses, Jennifer Bisson, here in Navarre. I saw her last Friday. She's also a pharmacist so can answer a lot of medication questions. She prescribed the antibiotic and a new antidepressant, keeping them both in $4.00 Walmart list. Yipee.

The pic is of Festus, another of three dogs that live here. He was my brother Eddie's. Great name, huh? His lovely girlfriend, Olga, is not a dog person, so Festus lives with the animal colony here - three dogs and two cats.

Today I got to take care of lots of errands that were piling up. Made some changes to phone and tv service I've needed to do. Ended up adding more channels for the same price. Oh yeah, we got a big screen TV from one of Cheryl's friends. They updated to HD so we got their giant 4'x3' TV. Sense and Sensibility is playing at the moment. You can see every detail! Really cool!

To my two grand librarian followers: Mardi,there's an update:). I will add your blog so I can check it more often. Do you update it? Hey Amy, I missed your call and wasn't able to call back. I hope I can catch you tomorrow.

Peace

Coco

Coco is an 8 y/o Miniature Pincher. She is actually my sister Joy's dog, or her son Matt's. She has been living in FL, though, for most of her life because Wyoming was too cold.

I love this pic of her. It was taken the same time as the other close up picture posted on an earler day. She was really sleepy and here looks goofy with one eye half closed.

I have a sinus infection I think and still feel awful. Prayers please.

Peace

More of the Powerhouse, Vestal Goodman

Had to post one more video of a more recent Vestal Goodman. RIP, Vestal!

floridapanhandlegal.blogspot.com is now nwflgal.blogspot.com

Quick note and a funky video for y'all. I decided to change the name of my blog after it came to my attention that it looked like florida panhand legal.blogspot.com. So the new name hopefully will do me for the duration.

I fnally got the lawn mowed today. The back yard had not been done yet this year. See earlier blog from 3 weeks ago! Dad happened to be by one day and by some sort of magic touch was able to start it and he mowed the front yard.

Satisfied indeed was I when after disasembling the dadblame carburetor, cleaning it (flushing my eye for 10 minutes after getting dangerous carb cleaning chemical spewed into eye), putting it all back together and it STARTED! Finally, after trying everything under the sun, it starts every time now. Cool!

Here's a funky video of Vestal Goodman (great old gospel singer now passed) as requested by cousin Joan:
