Today I was all hung over from the Benadryl I took last night for my allergies. I slept in til noon.. AND.. took a nap later on.
So.. needless to say, it has been a rather lazy day. Reminds me of the song "those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.." I think Nat King Cole did it..but it's ringing in my head. My brother used to work at the local radio station a lifetime ago, and I remember most all the songs from that era. Plus, my mother is a HUGE music buff.. one of those people who can name a song that goes with any part of a conversation. Say you mention the color blue.. she would pipe up every song from "Blue Bayou" to "Blue Suede Shoes", "Am I Blue" to"Red Roses for a Blue Lady..." and so on it goes until someone begs her to stop. She was a great fan of Name That Tune.. tv show from the 70's. She would have made a fortune if she ever got on that show.
I am sitting here in the kitchen doorway to the outside patio. I can hear the creek behind me. There is a hummingbird only about 2 feet away slurping on a flower. There is a family of cardinals at a birdfeeder about 5 feet away.. and the cutest little chipmunk is eating seed that has spilled out of the feeder and onto the grass. Sabrina is laying at my feet, tired from having chased a cat out of the yard.
My mother had a "spell" today. She gets terribly light headed. I am sure it is her blood pressure. She has had horrible health problems her entire life. I tried to talk her into taking a nap... but the best I could do was to get her to at least sit down in her chair. My dad has been making progress on cataloguing his book collection in the basement... some 8,000 or so.. and I am not even exagerating. Does anyone want a paperback collection >!
**In other news.... I understand that the Re-Animation Show at the Factory on 5th went extremely well. Much kudos to all the artists !! and especially Kristin who not only put out and handled her stuff... but mine as well. love ya.
