What's new?

Greetings, friends! Just a quick post for today. Last Saturday, I stopped off at the local shop located down the road from me called, "The Mint Leaf" where I found these cool little handmade earrings ...

And, this cute little candy corn decoration ...

On Sunday I had lunch with my friend, Deb at The Railroad House ...

Deb brought back a cool little gift for me from her vacation to North Carolina - a ceramic calico cat dish which says, "Don't stress meowt"  💗🐈

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

And last, but not least, apparently October 11th was National Kim Day! Short for Kimberly, Kim is a gender-neutral baby name of English origin. Meaning “Cyneburg’s meadow,” Kim derives from Kimberley, which comes from cyne, meaning "royal" or "chief," and burg, meaning "field" or "fortress." Additionally, Kim has Vietnamese roots, meaning "needle," and Korean connections, meaning "gold."

This and That

 Blessed Sunday, friends! As mentioned in my previous post, last evening my husband and I drove 2 1/2 hours to see our favorite comedian and musician, Tim Hawkins. Our tickets included front row seats, a meet and greet with Tim along with a picture taken with him, and a few other really cool goodies in a carry tote which were waiting for us at our seats. Tim is such a personable guy and this was the second time we were fortunate enough to have the chance to see him PA. 

The venue was at The Civic Center in Williamsport, PA and the show was fantastic! 

For those of you who do not know who Tim Hawkins is, he is a comedian and musician who has been performing shows for many years now. His shows are a mixture of stand up comedy with some awesome parody songs he writes - playing his guitar and keyboard ...

Our meet and greet photos with Tim ...

One of the things I love about Tim Hawkins is how creative he is with his parodies. To my surprise, the last song he performed was one which he had written many years ago to John Lennon's "Imagine" and another rather funny, but true parody to "The Candy Man" called, "The Government Can". These vid clips are live versions of those songs ... I hope you enjoy! LOL!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

Fun Friday

Happy Friday! Last night, we had the rare opportunity to view the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights here in Berks County, PA ...

This Saturday night, my hubby and I have tickets to go see comedian and musician Tim Hawkins live in concert in Williamsport. PA. This will be the second time we will get the opportunity to attend one of Tim's shows. GREAT PERFORMER! ...  

In other news, Charlie is just beginning to adjust to his new life as our newest family member. It is a slow process for him, he still is not comfortable outside of his "safe space" (cage), but last night he started playing with toys ... 😻

Have a wonderful weekend ALL!!

Throwback Thursday

Makin' Whoopee

 Dr. John:   Another bride, another groom

                  Another sunny honeymoon

                  Another season, another reason

                  For makin' whoopee

Rickie Lee Jones:   A lotta shoes, a lotta rice

                               The groom is nervous, 

                               He answers twice

                               It's really killin' that he's so willin'

                               For makin' whoopee

Dr. John:                It's just your little love nest, 

                               Down where the roses swing

                               It's still that same sweet love nest

                               That ain't what the years can bring

Rickie Lee Jones:   He's washing dishes and baby clothes

                               He's so ambitious he even sews

Dr. John:                So don't forget folks

                              That's what you get folks

                              For makin' whoopee

(musical break)

Rickie Lee Jones:  Another year or maybe less

                              What's this I hear?

                              Well, can't you guess?

                             She feels neglected

                             And he's suspected 

                             Of makin' whoopee

Dr. John:             She sits alone most every night

                           He doesn't phone, he doesn't write

                           He says he's busy

                           And she says ...

Rickie Lee Jones:  Is he?

Dr. John:               He's makin' whoopee

                             He doesn't make much money

                             Only five thousands bucks

                             Some judge he thinks he's funny

                             Says you pay six to her

                             Now he says judge, suppose I fail?

                             Judge says Bud, rot in jail!

                             You better keep her

Rickie Lee Jones: Yeah, I think it's cheaper

Dr. John:               Than makin whoopee

Rickie Lee Jones:  Than makin' whoopee

Dr. John:                Than makin' whoppee, hummmm

A Blast from the Past

Blessed Sunday, friends! Last night, I got a nice surprise while my husband and I were at the Sinking Spring VFW for karaoke night. I saw an old friend of mine from years ago - my friend Bruce! From our school days to graduation and seeing him off the day he joined the U.S. Navy (he is still serving in the Navy Reserves to this day). 

Back in the '90's, we all hung out together and we especially enjoyed attending our local karaoke nights at several different venues. This pic was taken at a place called, "Alley Oops" ...

THEN ...

Bruce, Judy, me, and our friend Dave - Circa 1996

And NOW ...

(2024)

Bruce always loved singing this song at karaoke so Bruce, this one is for YOU buddy! ...

Have a great rest of the weekend all!!

Odds and Ends

Greetings all. Not too much happening here this weekend except some more cleaning up around the house. I did get a new scrub yesterday at Walmart for another Halloween costume. It has, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on it ...

I thought that it would go rather good with the orange nurses cap I bought off of ETSY recently ...

 

And my matching carrot colored shoes ...

Or, I could also wear the cap with my new cat and pumpkin dress I got from TEMU last month ...

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

My friend Albie (I nicknamed him "New York" because he is originally from the Bronx) playing a song he wrote called, "Cigar Box Blues" with his cigar box guitar ...

I will be ready with my "jazz hat" lol!

Since Albie (aka "New York") can play and sing, he agreed to sing a duet with me sometime in the near future. The song? "Makin' Whoopee" as sung by Rickie Lee Jones and Dr. John. This sing was featured on the soundtrack to the movie, "Sleepless in Seattle" ... 

A lazy Sunday afternoon ...

Although the rainy, depressing weather is not helping to lift our spirits at all, we are all just being lazy today ... 💜💛💚💙

On the other hand, my hubby won a cute little plushie cat for me last night while playing the punchboard at the Sinking Spring VFW.  Made me smile ...
