Guess I'll leave some fishing songs...

Stay loose ~ Saturday

A long time favorite song, written by Leonard Cohen. This version is really sweet.
Have a lovely Saturday!!

1000 Times

In third grade we stood in lunch line. This boy would try to flip my skirt every day. And every day I punched him. One day he was wearing this new shirt for school photos. It had a little loop on the back of the neck. He flipped my shirt, I grabbed his loop. About the time I grabbed it, he twisted around. I looked and the little loop was in my hand. I had messed up his shirt! Not good.

My Mom was called  to the school for a conference. She had to replace this brand new shirt. After all, it was purchased for school photos. At school I had to write 1000 times, "I'll will keep my hands to myself." Meanwhile at home, I was grounded until I reimbursed my Mom $9.57... the cost of the shirt.

When I told my neighbor - babysitter Eddie, he laughed and introduced me to a song. It's funny now ~ it wasn't back then.

Paradise

Three nice days in the yard, spreading mulch. Life is really good when you are given free mulch. Three dump truck loads... I'm working on spreading the third load, and the owner of the company says, "I'm sorry that's all we have this week. Can we drop some off next Monday?"

I almost said no... but that mulch is so good for my home. The 'lower forty' is done... so my garden may get planted in on time. At least I hope so.

"Monday is fine. See you then." Nothing like a small piece of paradise....hit it guys!

How about a song? Thought you'd never ask! But first, a word from the Battle Queen. Ha!

Little Big Town ~ Lyrics for their song ~ Sober:

I wanna walk that line a little crooked
And live my life a little on the rocks
Laugh at every time I fell
Not afraid to make a fool of myself
And keep on dancing when the music stops

'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweeter like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
Oh, when I die, I don't wanna go sober

You're like drinking from a never-ending bottle
When I think it's gone there's always a little more left
Lay back with you and close my eyes
Let the big ol' world just spin on by
And sayin' your name with my last breath

'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
Oh, when I die I don't wanna go sober

I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober

Oh, I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober

Oh, when I die, I don't wanna go sober.
Oh, when I die, I don't wanna go sober.
