Ballad of the Green Berets

My older brother used to play this record all the time. I could hear it through the walls each night and enjoyed it as well. He (my brother) wanted so badly to become a Green Beret. We all had dreams back then………

You Tube

I’m glad that I discovered all the music that is offered for free at YouTube.com. At night when I just want to chill for a bit after a hard day of labor, I can log in quickly and find a few good tunes to listen to while I’m checking my emails and such.

I stumbled onto this song last night. I haven’t heard it in decades so it was a nice change of pace.

Labor Day

I have decided that on Sunday evening I will go into town and have dinner at the local diner for a nice change. I have grown weary of cooking for myself each night. Most nights I only have the strength for a quick sandwich and a glass of milk. I’m way over due.

Season’s Greetings From The Family Homestead

My parents were adamant about sending out Christmas cards to many friends and every family member that they ever had the pleasure of meeting and knowing. Last year I didn’t get a chance to send any cards out, for many a reasons. But this year I plan on sending out as many as I possibly can that I can read legibly on my mother’s handwritten Christmas card list. I discovered it a few months back in a dresser drawer that I was cleaning out and was pleased to read over it.

Since the place has many pine trees adorning it, I thought it fitting to sent the Pinecone photo christmas cards that I found at 123print.co.uk with the photo of the old house that I uploaded and will have imprinted on the front of it. I think the folks that will be receiving them will appreciate.

Christmas will be here soon enough, I have my work cut out for me, there are over 50 names and addresses on that list!

Michael Jackson

I had a few moments last night that I was able to watch the news. Too bad it was still full of stories concerning the recent death of Michael Jackson, the king of pop! It seems that they are deeming his death a homicide and it looks like we will be hearing still more about this issue for a very long time.
