Music Monday – “I’m gonna hold on to every spot/It doesn’t make a difference if I use it or not/Sun is rising and folks are shocked to see/There’s no open slots”

This is a parody of cruise ship chair saving but could equally apply to the poolside chairs in most tropical resorts… “Towels on The Chairs” – ParoDeeJay

Our family’s theme song this week… “I’m So Tired” – The Beatles

Music Monday – “Who said that every wish/Would be heard and answered/When wished on the morning star”

RIP Bob McGrath. A huge part of many kids’ childhoods and a deep, impactful connection to Saskatchewan as well. (I never met the man but of all the celebrities I’ve tried to add on Facebook – some successfully, some not – his acceptance was probably the one that made me the happiest!) “Rainbow Connection” – […]
