  • Chicken Run

    The last few days have been busy ones.  (ORDER UP! - one week of running around like a chicken without a head! DING) Hey, I like to dance the Funky chicken, not the headless one.

    * I attended an aforementioned Wednesday spinners. The soup was sublime.  We discussed the installation we are putting up at the library; it is our hand-spun work - the show is up for a month.

    * I answered phones at a fund-raising drive for public radio (gotta help those friends of big bird after all!)

    * I drove my daughter all over and got horridly lost while looking at high schools (nothing like being late for an appointment and getting lost!  Or was that getting lost made us late for those appointments?  At least the drive was pretty.  And the schools, they were pretty too.)

    * Finally last night I performed in a radio show (including singing as Rosemary Clooney.)  This is an all day event as we set-up and rehearse during the day and perform after dinner is served at a local inn.  We performed an adaptation of the Daphne DuMaurier's short story "The Birds" which was made into a movie by Alfred Hitchcock.  The movie is more horror and doesn't end on quite the downer the story does, but it was a good Halloween thing. 

     

    Earlier in the week I lost a beloved pet to cancer.  We buried Ladybug in her favorite garden. This is actually her head shot for a play she was in, "Lettice & Loveage." 

    Lady played Felina Queen of Sorrows

    Non sequitur:

    My world is complete.  I have just now realized that I have my own personal bouncing satellite.  Not only that, but MY satellite likes giving kisses and scratches my feet if I don't pick her up. 

    Mimsy as a puppy.

    I am loved beyond all boundaries and you are jealous and in need of a good hair cut.

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Buttercup.  Have a good week that got here all to fast.

  • how did you know I needed a haircut 

  • I am sorry for the loss of your kitty. You have a cute puppy doggy though and I'm sure pup gives you lots of lovin'. I love the movie, The Birds. It used to scare the crap out of me when I was younger. It sounds like you had fun doing your radio show. I used to be a DJ back in the day. I DJ'd for a hard rock/heavy metal Internet radio station. It was a blast. Hope you have a super week! 

  • @Grannys_Place - Thanks Ruth, she'll be missed.
    @mlbncsga - Almost everyone needs a good haircut (even me).  The odds were with me on that one.

  • @ShadesOfAnnie - Thanks,
    when I was little I saw "The Blob" and was terrified.  For three days I sat at the top of the stairs until a parent came up for bed.  I couldn't watch
    another scary movie for a long time.  Of course I've since seen "The
    Blob" (why just last Sunday we did a 'bad horror flick-a-thon") and I
    laughed a lot.  Poor 8 yr old!

    I've never DJ'd but the radio shows are lots of fun.  One of our actors
    (who does an amazing Jimmy Stewart) was a DJ for awhile there, he has
    fun too.  Have a good week yourself!
