TGIF

I didn't post yesterday as I was invited to a dinner party, then a 40th birthday party and had to run a few errands and voila, not home at posting time.

Even after I posted the day before that I had taken a break from walking, I ended up doing a one km. walk after supper but took a real break yesterday and didn't walk other than parties and errands. I worked a couple of hours today and will walk tomorrow - maybe.

Saw a friend's five month old baby girl last night and my daughter's friend's three month old today. It's fun seeing new babies. I didn't get to hold either but the one today was contented, smiling and gurgling and being passed around to family members quite happily. Little Bella (named after my cat I say) last night was almost asleep, then asleep, then hungrily awake.

Music today is for how I feel. I'm just glad I have chowder left for tonight's supper. Here's Lazy Bones by Leon Redbone. To stress how lazy feeling I am I'll stick with the band, Redbone, for the next song. Here' s the old seventies hit, The Witch Queen of New Orleans.

Happy Birthday O and J

Blogger wasn't allowing photo uploads yesterday and what's a post without a photo. Here's one of Kenz on the beach.

Our weather has changed dramatically, as we all knew it would. We didn't get the snow that was predicted but we got very cold and windy weather and now they say tomorrow it will snow. There's no use complaining about it so I won't but I feel like it a lot because I really don't like winter.

Work is going very well with everyone happy about their parties and staff happy making some money. Good combination.

My two youngest are having their birthdays today. My son is having a milestone birthday at twenty-one and my daughter is twenty-three. This is the first year they haven't been together for their birthday and will be feeling that sadness. I miss them both and am sending out a big Happy Birthday.

Music: For the weather and for missing my kids, Al Jarreau and Mark Knoffler's version of Ain't No Sunshine. My kids have grown up hearing the many versions of this song that I collect, so here's a version of Baby It's Cold Outside. This one is very interesting - Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel. I love Leon's voice.
