Holy Hangover!

I had a little mini party for Canada Day! It was pretty impromptu but a load of fun. I actually stayed up till two-thirty in the morning which is very, very, very late for me. I am paying for it now and now is not a load of fun. We danced and danced all night so all the extra calories from the drinks got burned off. That's a good thing.

I think I'll walk to the beach in a while to clear out the cobwebs but it may not be the brisk, fast walk that I usually do. I'm feeling a little weakened.....for some reason. I would say I'll never drink again but I don't lie. I will do it again but hopefully not that much again.

For music today a little bit of country cause who knows drunk better. Two versions of I Gotta Get Drunk; Norah Jones and the Little Willies' version is nice with it's great stand up bass. The big Willie (Nelson) does his live version with a happy audience in the background. Willie's song was already up somewhere on page one but I'm too tired to look for it so I've uploaded it again.

Super Women

My, my, it's been a whirl wind around here. I've been invaded with twenty-somethings and it's been fabulous. I've been having a blast. I've had my own friends here for the weekend as well, so we've been partying pretty heartily amogst us all. We've been very physically active along with the festivities with a bocce ball game last night and the above display of athletics this afternoon. My friend and I spent the afternoon at the beach. Again, that was glorious. Everyone has had a wonderful weekend. We leave for Halifax tomorrow for the convocation ceremony. Exciting times!

A big bonus to spring this year and quite early actually is that we have day old ducklings in the pond. I only discovered them this afternoon when the light was not good for photos. I hope to get a couple of shots of them soon. There are one day old teal I think, though they could be mallards. Last year we had a Mama who finally gave up after several attempts at sitting with a raccoon or fox, probably, always getting her nests. This is a great treat.

Music: Drinkin' songs: Well, about drinkin' anyway. This is a very old one from when I was a teenager. Spill The Wine from Eric Burden and War was a popular song in about '69 or '70. Willie Nelson's got a song for the country lovers.........Cath.....Willie's doing I Gotta Get Drunk. A Jockey Full Of Bourbon from Tom Waits is a third selection and my favorite of the three. It's from Beautiful Maladies from 1998.
