Having dinner at The Burren with a bunch of friends and hearing my favorite folk singer!  David Wilcox is such a terrific songwriter and storyteller and guitarist and singer!  I played some of his songs for you in the car when you were here the last time.

He sang my favorite song – “Rusty Old American Dream!”

Pork dumplings
2:29 PM Sassy
Mother Nature left a bit of color on our elevator rug

5:31 PM Phil
Went to church, came home $60k broker.  I’m staying home from now on but at least my football team won!
5:32 PM Sassy
Wait a minute… $60K WTF?
5:33 PM Phil
[Photo of his front lawn and home with a new car sitting in the driveway]
5:34 PM Sassy
What the heck is that?
5:32 PM Phil
[Name of a big car] Was time for the lady to get a car
We got 15k knocked off the price cause my brother in law worked for that company. Thank Goodness!
5:36 PM Sassy
They have lovely cars for $35-30K… why does she need a monster gas guzzler?
5:37 PM Phil
We cart the dogs around, tow a trailer occasionally and she has always favored a bigger car. That thing gets almost 28 miles to a gallon so not so bad.
I have a nice 28k ride and a $37k Harley so I can’t bitch too much
5:39 PM Sassy
[photo of a church group from about 1967]

Recognize any of these folks?
5:40 PM Phil
Oh my lord!
5:41 PM Sassy
I was able to name them all except the guy in the back left
Sis bought a “mystery weekend” package and it ended up being to Saratoga Springs.  Heh.  She couldn’t resist swooping over to the old hometown.
5:44 PM Phil
Wow!  Is that Susan’s dad? I love this! Dorothy, your mom and dad all sooooo young! What a cool picture!
5:45 PM Sassy
Yup – her mom and her dad.  The names are all there in my Dad’s best printing.
5:45 PM Phil
Thanks for sharing! This is fun!
5:45 PM Sassy
50 years ago.
5:45 PM Phil
Wow!
5:46 PM Sassy
She ran into Nancy G and Roger B
5:46 PM Phil
Almost time for Yankee Baseball!
5:46 PM Sassy
Said the church looks nice – they replaced the floor in the hall and closed in the office
She said the parsonage looks unloved.

Thought you’d get a kick out of that photo.
Is Mrs. S still alive?  I think the rest are dead except one.
5:50 PM Phil
I drive by every time we are in town. Parsonage does not look like it did
5:54 PM Sassy
The last time I was there they had cut down the trees that sheltered the house and dug up all the lily of the valley around the porch… it looked so bare and sad.
6:12 PM Phil
Just looks worn out now like the town
6:13 PM Sassy
I was struck by how the towns around where we grew up have gotten developed and nothing in our hometown.  I wondered why.
6:14 PM Phil
Yeah, strange how it worked out
I still love to go visit but it’s a shell of what it was. Used to be a hopping little town
6:16 PM Sassy
I can’t remember when I went last… sometime in the 90s
Yankees gonna do something better tonight?
Woohoo!  The Red Sox won one!
6:48 PM Phil
I hope so, my boy is such a fan
6:49 PM Sassy
Would be more fun to play the Yankees than Cleveland…

If both of us can pull out 3 wins!
7:06 PM Phil
That would be the series to watch!

7:07 PM Sassy
Drove through Kelly’s Roast Beef for supper.  Their fried shrimp are so crispy and good! 
8:20 PM Sassy
Here’s a catchy tune and a cute doggie!  Made me smile.  Hope it does it for you too!

I Believe In You

September 9, 2017 Saturday

3:47 PM Sassy
I have to admit I had never heard of this marvelous musician who died yesterday. Here’s a beautiful tune

Don Williams – I Believe in You

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QuIxSW_OMM&w=320&h=266]
I Believe In You 

Written By Sam Hogin & Roger Cook

sung by Don Williams 
 

I don’t believe in superstars
Organic food and foreign cars
I don’t believe the price of gold
The certainty of growing old
That right is right and left is wrong
That north and south can’t get along
That east is east and west is west
And bein’ first is always best.

But I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad
And I believe in you.

Well, I dont believe that heaven waits
For only those who congregate
I’d like to think of God as love
He’s down below
He’s up above
He’s watchin’ people everywhere
He knows who does and doesn’t care
And I’m an ordinary man
Sometimes I wonder who I am.

But I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in magic
And I believe in you.

I know with all my certainty
What’s goin’ on with you and me
Is a good thing
It’s true
I believe in you.

I dont believe virginity
Is as common as it used be
In workin’ days and sleepin’ nights
That black is black and white is white
That Superman and Robinhood
Are still alive in Hollywood
That gasoline’s in short supply
The risin’ cost of gettin’ by

But I believe in love
I believe in old folks
I believe in children
I believe in you.

I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in mom and dad
And I believe in you.

4:21 PM Phil 
One of my favorites
