The Three Dozen Roses Bouquet

I get a smile ever time I see Joni's wedding bouquet.  Aren't they a cute couple!..

Two Years Ago Karli

Those cement chairs were quite comfortable on that hot day.

Dodson Memories 2006

Three years ago already.  Look how many changes have happened since then. 7 new children. It's time for  another reunion!

You're my swimming pool on an August Day.

Yesterday I told Tom, "you're my swimming  pool on an August Day".  I heard it in a song I was listening to.  The challenge was for him to identify the song with those lyrics.  Well, he didn't figure it out so I had to reveal it to him this morning.  We rolled up the carpets in our front hallway and danced to this song on our hardwood floor.  Have you figured out the song?  Michale Bublee- You're My Everything.

I Love Color

I spotted this colorful building in downtown CDA.  It brightened up my day.

Here Comes the Sun Again!

 

Today I was greeted by blinding rays of sunshine as I opened my eyes. My husband selected Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles and hit repeat on the computer for a little background music while I was getting ready for the day.  By the time I made it to the computer I had thought of a few additional lyrics to add between the lines of George Harrison’s sweet twangy song.  (One of my personal favorites) 

 

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it’s alright. (I say it’s incredible and give me more!)

Little darling, it’s been a long, cold lonely winter. (You can say that again)

Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here. (It feels like the longest winter in my lifetime and it really is the longest winter in my lifetime.)

Here Comes the Sun here comes the sun and I say it’s alright. (Wall Street, Main Street, Your Street, we are resilient, we’ll be alright.)

 

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces. (It’s more like a huge grin and I’m looking for my sunglasses.)

Little darling, it seem like years since it’s been here. (Oh, he did say that again)

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it’s alright. (Oh yeah, now I know why those folks in the sunny states have so much energy.)

Sun, sun, sun, here we come (5 times). (You could say that 787 billion times and I wouldn’t mind)

 

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting.  (That 2 foot icy glacier in my backyard is hanging around a little too long.)

Little darling, it seems like years since its been clear. (Yep and the mist is trying to cover up the warm rays already.)

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it’s alright. (No controversy here.  We’ll be alright.)

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, it’s alright, it’s alright.   (I’m thinking lawn chair, a good book and sitting on the beach)

 

It’s amazing how a little sunshine and a good song can revitalize the human soul. The clouds roll in and so does reality.  I must get on with my day and wait a few more months to hit the sandy shores of Lake CDA. 

 

Thank you George Harrison for writing the perfect song for the long, cold lonely winter of 2008-2009.
