memories...



sittin' on a park bench in Nashville all alone...thinking about a time when I wasn't on my own....

hearing those words puts me driving down a snowy Hwy 2 heading from school to grandpa...

Another song i have...can't remember the words just now....puts me in my car in Grandpa's garage...

Another puts me in our big brown van heading for Idaho some where maybe close to the Butte pass...it's in the mountains on I-94 anyway....

Another tape we have puts me in an old blue pickup we had for a while on a trip to Wisconsin...

yet another song puts me in my classroom at BCS putting up a new bulletin board around Thanksgiving...

another puts me into the chapel at HBS

a song i sang at MBS puts me in the Girls Dorm hall back by the ironing boards....

"Some Say Love, It is a flower..." puts me in my bunk in the back right corner in the big dorm at MBS...

Songs have a power that we don't understand i'm convinced...they have the power to create our moods...they have the power to give us a different outlook on life. They can determine how we feel about our life at the moment. And they can make us Happy, Content and peaceful, or they can make us feel Empty, Sad, Lonely, and all full of unsettled torment. Songs bring back memories...Most are good...a few are not some wonderful. Most are Nostalgic to me.

Last night i was laying in my bed thinking about life and lots of other things and i thought of this subject...i knew i should have gotten up and written out what i was thinking at the moment cause i wouldn't be able to write it as smoothly as i was thinking at the moment if i didn't do it right away but i was too lazy to get up. It was really late...and i was tired....so anyway here is a halting version of a smoothly running thought i had! :)

Black bird singing in the dead of night...take these broken wings and learn to fly...
I smell sawdust. Dru and I used to listen to this song when we were on the way to his logging job back in the honeymoon days...Without fail, I can almost smell his sawdust and I'm in that dear old subaru.
Then there are a few songs that put me in my bedroom at Grandpa Sid's. Songs from a CD Dru'd given me, and songs I listened to for sustenance. :)

ponderings...

Some times i wonder....why do i even blog? do ppl even read it? but then i wonder am i selfishly wanting ppl to notice? do they have to comment? I rarely comment on other's posts...so why should they comment on mine? I do try to comment all the time! but for some reason since my computer is so slow....the internet anyway...it tells me i'm not allowed to....so even if you don't see a comment from me know that i wanted to! and maybe that's everybody elses problem! the same one i have! their internet's being snotty! ha! ;) I love to read all the blogs i do read and wish like crazy that i could comment! so here a some comments i've thought about recently.... Amy...I loved your Christmas blog! and i know ya'll might get tired of me saying this...but it almost brought tears to my eyes...thinking as how we miss out on that kinda stuff here in South Carolina.....since everybody else...or a bunch of everybody else is way out there! But thanks for the pictures and all...

Hello to all....

This wireless internet is really nice...i'm going to have to get use to my slow phone at home again in about a week...I am supposed to fly home next monday....if the weather isn't bad...the weather has been lovely! I have been enjoying the crispness of the northern air! I will have to learn to endure the muggy wet of the south...i did it last year to i'll survive again! School teaching is something I love! i forgot how much i loved it until about 3 weeks ago when i began teaching again as a substitute teacher here at Northwoods...It was a little strange at first being in a new school and stuff but i soon got used to it and am loving it! now to get enough sleep to be able to function properly! :-) I ...

i Think it's time...

To go on a trip! I was thinking that i needed to get out my suitcase to pack to go on the camping trip and all of a sudden realized how odd it felt to be getting it out....and thinking back to camping trips before how it didn't feel so odd to get packed up....well, i suppose that means i've been working too much and not going places anymore! ha ha! This summer i may get a few excursions in here and there...but not sure yet if i will or not.....i am going to LA for 10 days, but there are a few other places to go too..... i mean i need to put my suitcases to use right?! :-) it's definitely time! ha ha! in other news...this weekend is the end of school....graduation....etc! I have to milk this evening because one of the sons of the guy I milk for is graduating....and the mama usually milks and she wondered if i would for her...i get the next 3 days off...so i'm milking tonight...
