HOOOOORRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!! LOLOL
Doomed gardening
Has it really got a team of snow white horses?
Well, one's like snow... the other's more like... milk.
So you kin tell 'em apart!
(a busy day I see)
watch that fringe and see how it flutters
when I drive them high steppin' strutters,
folks hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmm their shutters
and their eyes~~~~ will POP
LOL!!! ROTFLOL!!! What is this?? "What's Your Line Online?"
Didn't you know you were on the new site, Dave's Musical?
Sigh. I love Oklahoma!
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop?
(Anything's on-topic in the world of doomed gardening!)
I like Oklahoma a whole lot. Except the weird dream dance scene.. Judd was pretty creepy all right.
Love the music in Guys and Dolls, but some parts a bit long, and another overdone dance scene (in the Cuba bar, the fight) but love the dance girls in Pet me Poppa and Take Back the Mink
Calamity Jane- we did in highschool- all girls school, only a few precious boys from the next door school, so it was a defining moment when one was cast either as showgirl or extra cowboy.....sigh
West side Story ---ahhhh
Lovee love love South Pacific !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my favorite
This would be an excellent day to stay in bed and watch them all!!!
Ha ha ha! I might just do that! I had a horrible midnight work deadline last night, and midnight is past so I am really relieved to be done. But it is warming up this weekend, and you know what that means . . .
oh, it'll be so muddy!
Mudlicious~
(for Sally... "Nosy folks'll peek through their shutters")
We did Oklahoma! in high school... as a horn player, I was pretty much at the center of the pit orchestra, so I tossed out a lot of cues. At one point, I had all the dialogue memorized as well as all the lyrics... quite a bit has slipped to the bottom of my memory since then!
Wishing all of you a mudilicious weekend...
:-)
The wheels are yella , the upholstery's brown, ?
the dashboard's gen yoo ine leather
with isinglass windas that'll roll right down
in case there's a change in the weather !!
Hope ya'll have had yer isinglass down today!! My yard looks like a river delta-
But I found a few more new daff sprouts this morning wheee
Two white sidelights winkin' and blinkin'
Aint no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
You kin keep yer rig if yer thinkin'
That I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top!
Yep, lots of puddles on top of the ice here... but they're still calling for the day to dawn all sunny & blue-skied tomorrow!
ha ha - I totally forgot that part of the lyrics!
we know where 'happy' will be
Squeezing mud between my toesies.
I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,
I'm in a turrible fix. I always say "come on, let's go"
Jist when I orta say nix!
Other girls are coy and hard to ketch
But other girls ain't havin' any fun!
Every time I lose a wrestlin' match
I have a funny feelin' that I've won!
I'm jist a girl who cain't say no,
Cain't seem to say it at all
I hate ter disappoint a beau
When he is payin' a call
Whatcher gonna do when a feller gits flirty
Starts to talk purty
Whatcher gonna do?
S'posin that he says 'atcher lips are like berries
Or roses or cherries
Whacher gonna do?
S'posin that he says 'atcher sweeter 'n cream
An' he's gotta have cream or die?
What's a girl to say when he talks thataway?
... Spit in his eye!?
Oy! Stop me, and make me go to sleep! LOL
Why JIll You sing beautifully!
happy- here's the sun! maybe your hills have drained a bit. I know what you feel , though, sometimes you just want to play dirty, never mind the mud. Got any snowdrops? Time to see them poking leaves out, isn't it?
My snowdrops are probably still covered in a brown paper bag. When I talk about playing dirty . . . .
guffaw- that kind of 'mulch' is less than optimal !
LOL!!! "Doomed" snowdrops, too...........
It's really pitiful in these parts!
" What is the grass airstrip for?"
For my hubby's four seat plane, which we took a ride in today. He and a partner co-owned a Cherokee when I met hubby, and last year upgraded a little (OHHH, retractable landing gear..) I haven't been 'up' for years! its been his hobby and outlet, going on Saturdays for the hundred dollar hamburger, and the occasional golf trip to NC. It was fun! Smooth ride.
We flew across the Ches Bay and Chester River. Boy the world looks very flat around there from 1500 feet up. MD's Eastern Shore is a quilt of plowed fields and wooded lots, seamed with waterways. Envied some rich people with big houses on the water, not much undeveloped waterfront anymore, around here. Buzzed a flock of birds on the water, and flew above a big bunch of white egrets flying. From up there, the eastern shore seems to have the right amount of people, and when you cross the bay back to our side- whew! the houses look jammed together. Well, it was interesting . I wished I had taken the camera for those who haven't seen our area from that perspective.
Wow Sally, what a neat way to spend the day. Even though I hate flying, that little excursion sounded like fun. Thank you for drawing such a great picture of what all you saw. I feel as though I were there. Thank you for sharing.
Ruby
Cool!
I love flying in a little plane...
Now that's a nice way to pick a husband -- limit the search to those with private planes! How fantastic!
Sally, you are lucky!! Private plane trips for golf trips?? Boy, that sounds rich!! The last time I was in a puddle jumper was from D.C. to NYC en route to Bermuda.....that was a tight ride!! The plane's windows were terrible and I couldn't see out much.
Ha- you know boys and toys... This plane is our 'cabin in the woods with the compost assisting goats' Note where I said "Envied some rich people with big houses on the water" key word envied.
But its fun, something different (Hello, Yes, I'm a boring person but He Flies!) He likes to tell me some o the techncal stuff and thats a nice mental exercise for me. The first plane was not the smallest, I don't think, but like getting in a very small car with wings, by climbing in the window. This one's barely bigger. And take off and land, you can feel it swinging around, even on a calm day. Feels funny! Once you're up its pretty smooth.
Used to be based at BWI, on the far side of the airportt there was an old, old small hangar with about a dozen planes. That was neat, like a little club. Then when you took the plane on that jet-size runway you felt like a flying ant.
Once we went from BWI to Tangier Island. First time I saw a small airport. I was laughing at that- they have one small rough-edged strip of asphalt. It looked so primitive after BWI. But thats all we needed . Interesting little island. A tiny water town, isolated. Walked to 'the' restaurant, looked around, flew home.
Jill, just holler, and he will take you up. pick you up at Frederick. He loves to fly people.
o, i love flying in an airplane small enough to open the windows! i took lessons about 15 years ago, but never quite made it far enough to solo. When i had to quit, i thought i'd just die. (But i didn't.)
At the time, a friend of mine was asked by an interested party if i was going out with anyone - he sighed and said, "Amy doesn't like guys anymore - she just likes airplanes now."
That was about right, too!

Sallyg---your hubby flies but your humor does, too!!! Yeah, I remember the goats!!!!!! HaHAhaHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Can't forge the Nubian goats!!! LMAO!!!! :-)
Amy, how come you never went solo??
Lucky you, Sally - I haven't got the stomach for those teenyweeny planes. I'm far more comfortable in a 777. I used to go up in a leetle cessna with a past beau and it was all I could do to keep my lunch down. lol
A bunch of things happened at once - i ran out of money. And my instructor left, and i didn't like the new one. (Also, i am not really good at "muscle memory" type things - my muscles are learning disabled - i can't dance either!)
It was going to take me a long time to learn, and it just wasn't feasible to continue at the time. For years i dreamed of getting back to it, but the longing has faded some with time...
How did we get from doomed gardening to light aircraft?
Probably because when you're going to lose your garden, you lose your mind!! LOL!!
amy- I admire you. I cannot see myself ever flying. I was nervous the other day, he asked me to take the wheel a min, out of the blue. (There are dual controls, each front seat has the yoke and rudder pedals.)
Stomach- not iron clad. When we honeymooned in Hawaii, he wanted to rent a plane to sightsee. When you rent at a place that doesn't know you, they go up with you to check out your flying skill before letting you go. So hubby was not quite up to speed there, with different terrain, hewasn't handling the wind right. So the other pilot, from the airport there, says OK, well, I'll ride you around awhile for your rental fee. So he grabs the wheel and does this big o' turn and suddenly the sky is tropical green, I'm looking
at palm trees out my window 'above' me, and my stomach is back there somewhere. Kept my lunch but somehow let hubby know- please put me on the ground and just take pictures for me!!!
hahaha!
Well, i got interested in flying because i had friends who were into skydiving, which i didn't want to do, but i was interested in flying in a little airplane. i'd only flown commercial on 4 flights ever - so this guy paid for me to go up as an observer.
First time was a Queen Air, and that was fun. But, my 2nd ride a few weeks later was my 1st time in a little Cessna (a 150 - ? - holds 2 people normally, but for jumping they take out the seats, so it will hold a pilot and 3 others.) i'm strapped in sitting on the floor next to the pilot but facing backwards, where the jumpers were. So, we get up to altitude, and they say, OK, time to take the door off now. Now there is a hole not far from my legs. Uh, ok. Then the pilot banks so the ground is right under the hole, it seemed to me, and people climb over me to jump out. It was pretty exciting. The pilot - who was crazy - said, "Now we can have fun!" He didn't roll it over, but i got quite a roller coaster ride - and i never liked roller coasters but this was SO much better - doing zero gees and crazy twists and turns - one of my best days ever.
i was smitten.
better than... well... y'know...
i never did understand why all those guys wanted to leave the airplane halfway through the ride...

I've only had 2 little plane experiences, but I won't forget them. One way in Oaxaca Mexico a few years ago, with a plane that didn't seem to be quite up to speed mechanically. And my husband was in a twin engine plane just behind mine, but as I recall one of the engines was out. I was so glad when we landed.
Amy -- glad to have you in Mid-Atlantic! I love New Haven! Let's see -- Sally's and Pepe's and Lucibellos and . . . .
Pepe's Pizza!!!! YUM!
OH, amy- I would absolutely have died! Afraid of falling! I actually prayed when I went on the Hershey Park old rollercoaster in high school. I enjoyed reading your story a whole lot more than I would have liked being there.
well, the guys could leave the plane because for them 'good times' are brief, followed by quick departure,
or falling asleep...................
happy, you are brave. I fly with hubby because I know he takes his risks in a very calculated fashion. and theFAA tries very hard to ensure that.
Sally -- you are TOO funny!
