~Favorite Life Song's~





Frank Sinatra - That's Life


That's life, that's what people say.

You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change their tune,
When I'm right back on top in June.

That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams
But I just can't let it get me down,

Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
But I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life, I can't deny it,

I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won't buy it.
Cause if I didn't think it was worth a try,
I'd have to roll myself up in a big ball and die.

Mike & The Mechanics - The living Years


Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations

Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Crumpled bits of paper

Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language

Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future

It's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up,
And don't give in
You may just be OK


Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say.

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear

It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Your brother might be right. Maybe Bo is allergic to something there, or eating something he shouldn’t. If he’s feeling more himself and you take him to the lake, watch to see if he starts to feel bad again. It would mean there’s something about the lake.

Maybe you want to find another place for him to exercise and see how he feels.

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

I bet that poochie will be happy to get out for a walk. Sounds like you will have a nice day for it.

Yum, you make it very hard for me to not run over to the cafeteria and order a breakfast like one of those above.

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

No fog over our way this morning. Just cloudy.

Dreaming of spring and being able to sit on front porch with morning coffee. LOL

How are you this fine Thursday?

I’ll be making my usual buttered toast with jelly later. I’ve lost over 20 lbs since Thanksgiving and 12 since I retired.

Morning Beachie!!

Yuk, I've been out the last couple of days with the "Crud", 24 hour flu I guess, I feel much better today :-)

The rain has let up a bit, no real bad flooding anymore, thankfully; it's suppose to clear up for the weekend, Woo-Hoo!

Better get somemore coffee and get to work, have a grandacious day!
