Random stuff

susandennisMy mp3's are all mixed together and I just dump a random group onto my player for swimming. It could be country, it could be Beatles, it could be The Big Bopper, it could be gospel or even a Sousa March. There is no order, whatever one is next, is next. It's a playlist with a neurological disorder.
In our family, we sang a lot. We took a lot of road trips and singing was required. Plus just around the house. Sometimes real songs and sometimes made up songs. A family favorite was What a Friend We Have in Mother. Well, maybe not the whole family but Mom loved it and burst it out often. Another one that I have no idea why or when we sang often and in jest was Love Lifted Me.
This morning, in the middle of my swim, just after a Bob Dylan song, I got Love Lifted Me.
It is very hard to swim and LOL at the same time.
The Mariners and Houston played horribly last night. Houston cannot pitch and the Mariners have no offense so it's pretty hilarious. BUT finally Houston ran out of time and the Mariners won in the bottom of the 9th. a walk off by my favorite player so I wasn't too made about having to stay up late.
Jim and Gayle - that's Jim Down the Hall and his girlfriend who lives on the other side of the Timber Ridge complex - got back last night from their very long road trip. Jim was born and raised within true spitting distance of where my brother lives now and that was a spot on their trip so they had lunch with my brother while they were there. I haven't seen either of them yet, I hope the whole trip was fun.
On down the hall a couple of more doors is Jan and Dick. They moved into Myna's apartment. They walk a mile every day. Last Thursday, on their walk, Jan tripped over a curb and seriously fractured her right arm. It's now stabilized until it can be surgically repaired. The soonest they can get in to see a surgeon is Thursday. Massive Ugh. And she's right handed. And they have a huge important trip to see family graduate on the east coast planned for the end of this month and she has been so looking forward to it.
At the end of the hall is Bonny who is getting a new hip on May 4. She has everything planned - help coming in and stuff - and I sure hope it goes easily.
All of the above was in case anyone wants to know what's new in my 'hood.
Today I will be glued to my knitting needles in front of the TV. First is Tia Watson's (YouTube) update on her house renovation, then CBS Sunday morning, then the Mariner game. BUSY day.
I tried the safety eyes on my mini monsters and Love them! But, then they didn't seem so monstery so I went with a smile instead of monster teeth. There will be more like this.
