Need: It certainly was awful!

Shell,

Do you like Katie Webster on piano? She’s a powerful vocalist as well. One of my favorites. Love her! Or Ruth Brown? Another great one to listen to sing.

When you get the chance look up ‘Try a little tenderness’ with Katie Webster. She does a great arrangement of that song. It’s on YouTube. I have so many cds. I love my new car but the new cars don’t have CD players.

Thank you NHWM!

I love Nina's music. It seems she wrote a song for every feeling and for every situation. I listen to her when I feel blue and some how she makes everything alright again!🎼🎶

Shell,

You have great taste in music. Nina was awesome. Incredibly talented, very troubled personal life. Hey, great artists draw from their pain to express their music. Those are the real musicians verses pop artists.

Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't gonna fly
No place big enough for
holding
All the tears you're gonna cry

Cause your mama's name
was lonely
And your daddy's name
was pain
And they call you
little sorrow
Cause you'll never love
again

So why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to
hold you
You ain't got no one to
care

If you'd only understand
dear
Nobody wants you
anywhere
So why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly

So why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to
hold you
You ain't got on one to
care

So, Why you wanna fly,
Blackbird?

Thanks Polar and Send.

Gotta say, this is a different anniversary! I certainly didn’t see this coming.

You know, for a split second I was upset this morning because I thought I wished I could have had a special ‘date’ night with my husband. Then, my thoughts immediately went to all of the people who are sick or have died and I felt ashamed of myself for wanting a night out.

I have always appreciated my husband and now I know more than ever how much he means to me. Him, not where we go or what we do, right? That can wait. I just want our city, our state to be free of this. It’s so depressing. It makes me so sad 😞.

One day, right? We will be able to put this behind us. Until the next wave but gosh, we need a breather.

Let’s hear it for growing old together and still in love. Today is my 42nd wedding anniversary!

He is in the other room at the moment working hard as he always has. He was the ‘geek’ in a cool way as a kid who grew up to become an incredible engineer.

These days he supervises a team of engineers at the company where he is employed. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

I love him dearly and while none of us like being quarantined and in this current situation, I am glad that I am with him. He is my rock. My heart still skips a beat every time that he enters the room.

Like any couple we have had our struggles in life but we always had each other and that is what matters the most to us.

We didn’t get to go on a romantic getaway for our anniversary. We won’t even be able to get all dressed up and go to one of our fantastic fine dining restaurants. They are all closed! We won’t be able to hear our fantastic musicians playing their tunes. None of that.

We are following our governor’s ‘stay at home’ regulations. I did make a special breakfast for us to enjoy before his daily conference meeting online. I will make a light lunch for us and we usually cook dinner together. Not sure what we will make yet.

All I know is this year more than ever I don’t take our love for granted.

As everyone knows we are a hot spot and I am very sad about the people suffering here and especially for those who have died and their loved ones.

It’s such a mixed bag of emotions. I am so very proud of our frontline workers in our city that are doing their absolute best everyday in these tough times.

One day, yes one fine day, my husband and I will paint the town red and celebrate our anniversary. Maybe even plan a getaway for just the two of us. It’s been forever since we have had a trip away together.

No one knows exactly when that will be and that’s okay. It doesn’t matter when. What matters is that here and now in our own home we have each other, just as we always have.

As we get older, we do find ourselves reminiscing. When we were younger we always took two trips a year, once in the spring for our anniversary and once in the fall for my birthday in October.

Then the kids came along, then mom moved in. Life changes. We choose priorities and so on.

This year was supposed to be about us again, the kids have been out of the house for awhile and mom moved out in October and here we are quarantined!

Who would have ever dreamed of this happening, right? It will eventually somewhat settle. It won’t be the same as it was before all of this. We will grow and learn if we work together for the common good.

We won’t ever forget this crisis but let’s hope with all of our hearts that positive change will come out of this. That’s the only thing I really want other than my sweet husband for our anniversary.

Take care, everyone. Love each other. Cherish the good in life. Remove the negative.

Life is short. Don’t waste it. We have over 25,000 confirmed cases and nearly 1500 deaths.

Thanks for listening to me share about very special day in my life with my hubby!

Cwilly,

You have no need to apologize to your mom. You did what you thought was right at the time. You were a good and loving daughter. We never know what is the right thing to do at that moment in time...all we can do is what we hope is right for our LOs and you did that.

Your mom knows you love her.💕

At some point almost every day now I find myself offering a silent apology to my mom for allowing her to live in isolation for so many years.

Strange quiz on FB. What was the original number to call for time and temp in my home metro area. It popped right into my head and that was at least 50 years ago. Brain function fine.

Smeshque,

I first read Helen Keller in sixth grade. It was required reading. I fell in love with her book. What an inspiration she was.

What’s in a name? Shakespeare. 😊

One day I may change my name, just for my own personal reasons. I say, do what you are comfortable with. There is no right or wrong in this situation.
