Happy First Day of Summer
“We interrupt this ceilidh for a special announcement…” Happy First Day of Summer! I thought we’d never get here. But, here we are! Let’s celebrate with a little Beach Boys music.
Month: June 2016
Top of the Morning to Ya, Wee Lasses…
“Top of the Morning to ya, wee lasses!” I hope your summer days are full of fun, laughter, smiles and great days! Its ceilidh (Kay-lee) day! I’m so exhausted! Buying the food, getting the flowers, cleaning the house…But it’s fun too! The flowers are sitting in a vase in the kitchen ready to be put…
Party Music
This is the music I’ll be playing for the party tonight. I’ll have my laptop open to our website from 6-10pm. If you are able to sneak a peak at the website during those hours, you’ll BE there with us. If not, I know you’re there in spirit. This is the opening music. When you…
Almost Ready to Rest in Peace
So, I’m just about ready for this shin dig. Tonight I’m cleaning the dust and cobwebs off the chandelier in the dining area. Not an easy job. I need to take off EACH clear plastic rod before I get to the dust and cobwebs. It will probably take me an hour just to finish this…
Give Peace a Chance
I’m sorry about all that venting. Today – the Sketchyscribe is coming to you live from The Royal Falconer – a real British club in Redlands. I love coming here. It’s dark. Lots of dark wood on the bar. They serve fish and chips and all kinds of beer. I confess, I do enjoy a…
If At First You Do Not Succeed, Fail, Fail – Again
I know you want to be all grown up. But I’ll tell you, it isn’t all its cracked up to be. You mess up A LOT! The more you attempt – the more you mess up. You need to know that. You are not a failure because something didn’t work out. And you can learn…
Take That First Step
When I was a kid, I loved the TV show Fame. It was about a group of kids who went to a performing arts high school in New York City. Doris, this Jewish gal who has a gorgeous voice, sings this song with her piano playing friend, Bruno. I cannot guarantee that you wont fall…
Letters to Loved Ones from My Kitchen
Dearest Purity and Bea, I’m getting the house cleaned up for the party. I’ve decided to do one room each day so I can really give that room special attention. There is nothing like an eminent party to make you get off your backside and get the place cleaned up. So far, I’ve cleaned both…
Party Food and Drink
Running around today getting food set up for the party. I got some roast beef sliders (mini burgers) and some coleslaw. I’ve also decided to go back to cupcakes: they will be bigger for each guest to eat. I got some S’mores cupcake mix for the folks wanting cake with no alcohol. I also got…
More Love, No Hate
Last Thursday, terror struck our country – again. This time, the gay community was targeted. This website would be remiss if we did not address the sadness and outrage this hate crime has brought about. Folks, we are NOT here to hate people. No one is important enough to hate. – Grandpa Your grandfather was…
