Changing the song, about Jack and Diane,

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone, they walk on....

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of caregivin' is gone.

So let it rock
Let it roll!
Life goes on........

"God Bless The USA"

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA
Well, there's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say that

[2x]
I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

God bless the USA

One of my favorite things to do now is to cook in Mother's kitchen where she made so many foods we all loved.It makes me feel closer to her somehow.The tastes and smells bring back memories,times I loved and miss.She loved making desserts and chocolate most of all,so that's what I enjoy making too.Especially hot fudge sauce over vanilla ice cream...yummy!

Not being picky it is just that it wouldn't have an s it should read.

The Tudor Monastery Farm ... I'm watching it on Youtube right now ... and my fave thing about is Peter Ginn's calves; not the animals -- the legs. His twitter handle is @whatahunkygeezer. He certainly is that.

Favorite things: semi-productive days. I say "semi" because those are the ones that don't wear me out for the next day! I accomplished a few things off my To Do list that are important, and I didn't take on too much. Winning. :-) ((((hugs)))) and semi-productive days to all of you.

CM,
You are okay! It is not a failure if you or anyone cannot keep up. Lately, it has been harder with the new website changes. With less and less time in between family crises (did I spell that right? plural of crisis = crisises?) , just checking in, saying hello, has been a challenge for me.
There is a sense of comfort when I see you all posting still, and then I don't feel, so bad.
"I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel, so bad."
Movie reference?

Me too MsMadge! And what other place just gives you a piece of chocolate for coming in their store?!!

My grandmother always liked Fannie May chocolates. Well, either that or those were the stores that were closest. There used to be one just at the corner, not even a block from where I live now, her home for the last 40 years of her life... but it's a pizza place now (which is arguably as good as or better than a candy store since I love their Mediterranean pizza SO STINKIN' MUCH!). When I was driving the other day, I noticed a stand-alone Fannie Mae store somewhere else around here. I didn't know if they were still in business or not. I don't know if I've ever been in a See's. If I see one, I'll make a point to go in and taste the "famous chocolates." :-)

So many of my favourite things involve eating and drinking, like all of that delicious sounding chocolate you all keep mentioning. I wish I could shake my brain like an etch-a-sketch and erase the guilt and regain the ability to indulge in such simple pleasures without worrying about the long term health effects. One is never enough.

One of my favorite things, which occurs monthly, is leaving the office at the end of day and ... gasp! Seeing the almost full moon up in the clear daylight sky. It is just so beautiful. It never ever fails. I stop walking and stare at the moon. I can only see the moon so clearly from my work. At home, the cliffline blocks it. One more night to see the full moon!
