After my last post, you all must have been wondering what in the world is Kay going on and on about now? I am not sure that many find the news from England as interesting as I do and even if I do, when I am not feeling very well, my brain doesn't work properly and therefore, I can't convey my thoughts very well. I hope I didn't offend anyone. I was reminded of being a teenager and hearing those words spoken if someone might have said the very slightest thing that might be considered off color or off limits. "No offense" and the response was always the same, "None taken". Sigh, I do miss a lot about those times so long ago. It seemed that courtesy was still alive and also, brevity of words. I miss them both.
A few things that have given me a reason to smile lately.... Paul McCartney is currently touring in the USA! Now, I didn't see him here in concert in Atlanta, but I know some folks who did! They said he was great; he performed for 2 hours and 45 minutes, isn't that awesome? He ended the show with "Golden Slumbers", a nice touch.
Did you see that they opened a new museum in Egypt? It is the "Grand Egyptian Museum" and it opened on Nov. 1st. The museum looks amazing but what made me smile, was the image that I saw of the Danish Foreign Minister giving the Egyptian Foreign Minister a gift- it was a LEGO set of the Great Pyramid! The delight and joy on that man's face when he received this gift! I love that so much, let me see if I can link to it.... you may see it just here!
November is with us now and our leaves are having some nice color. Want to see?
The dogwood is a native tree, and, in the Autumn, the leaves are a pretty red and the berries are loved by the birds.
These photos were just taken today, November 5th. As you can see, many of the trees still have a lot of green so, we will shall see more color.
Happy November to you all!
"Money for Nothing", a favorite of our son's. Richard used to use the Bert puppet to entertain our son with this song when Christopher was just 2 or 3 years old! (Bert, you know from Bert and Ernie fame!) I think he would have Bert dance around to it and it must have been quite elaborate as Christopher has such memories of it! He is lucky to have such a talented father. It's the little things, isn't it?
Take care everyone!
I miss the good ole days too. There is something to be said about them. I used to love Paul McCartney! lol Three hours is awesome! And I love that huge tree you have that just spreads its branches outward as to protect!
ReplyDeleteI love ❤️ to reminisce about the good old days!!! I have always loved The Beatles and Sir Paul McCartney had always been my favourite...even when he was in the Wings band.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Kay.
Yes, the CBC had that news clip about the Grand Egyptian Museum opening and the LEGO gift -- I agree, so delightful!
ReplyDeleteI suppose everyone older has the same thoughts in a fast changing world. I still like using cash to pay for things, I like real High Street banks instead of everything going online, I like quiet reflective travel on buses ( instead of endless smart phone chatter nowadays on every journey) and I dislike bad driving or manners. Large SUV's seem to think they own the road. The roads are not getting any wider but the cars certainly are in many cases and I've had several near misses with 4 by 4s that thought 'going off road' was getting their tyres dirty off the tarmac so I had to be the one swerving into a ditch..... and on and on it goes.... rant, grumble, moan :o)......hope you are feeling better with the autumn colours on show.
