reminds me of the time we were camping down at a holiday resort. as we walked back from the beach, there was a snake skin lying by the side of the roadway. as my father leant over it to have a better look, the darn thing moved. it was the only time i ever said a 4 letter word in front of my mother and didn't get told off.
6:37 am

And now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!! This is one that I particularly enjoy and have a copy of this comic strip in a picture frame on my desk:) “Calvin: I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! Want to see my book report?

Yay for sue!
6:22 pm

Ooh, mimi, how extravagant of you
6:23 pm
MimiCat
I "lost" most of my collection in a move that turned out to be a real mistake. Now I'm replacing those and adding more. Now have the complete Stevie Wonder anthology.
6:24 pm
MimiCat
Not that extravagant as they are mostly oldies but goodies so don't cost much.
6:24 pm

I never did have an extensive CD collection; most of mine is still vinyl, which I really don't have a way to play at the moment
6:25 pm

Lost my vinyl years ago due to my half-sister..don't ask...painful.
6:25 pm

Yeah---it appears I have a "brown thumb" where family is concerned. Luckily, I have excellent friends!
6:26 pm

I have just noticed the time. Ash and Grandad are off fishing at 5am tomorrow. I must get some sleep as getting them on their way is akin to launching the Titanic (and you know what happened to that!). tc all of you. Mimi vinyl is coming back into fashion in the UK so you are leading the trend.
6:27 pm

You can get it back much more easily now. Mine is in the roof. I wish I could send it to you.

I've lost a few over the years, including a couple of old Beatles albums - I think I may have given them to my brother, but he died in 1983 so they are long gone
6:31 pm
MimiCat
This is a half-sister from the mother who abandoned me at age 5...what did I expect?
6:31 pm
uusue2
I gave a few to my son, too, since one of his friends had a working record player; then his friend moved, so I think those are gone too

My CD collection is with my "best friend" of over 40 years whom I no longer speak to....she just has never sent them to me even thought I sent prepaid boxes to her.
6:34 pm
MimiCat
My childhood was charmed after my mother left...my grandmother and her fourth husband raised me like a princess in every way. I was very lucky.
6:34 pm
MimiCat
Of course, I was raised thinking my bio father was my brother....a little wrinkle...it's in the book.

On another note (while cats wait patiently to be fed), we have all kinds of flooding here today...a real mess. We don't have rain often but when we do, it's serious.

Off to feed the kids....hugs all around.

I found out many years after the fact that the "older sister" of the little boy who lived across the street from us when I was growing up was actually his mother - her mother was raising him as her own (the daughter had him when she was very young)

I hate the original glazed KK. I like their other donuts though, and they're all equally amazing when warm from the bakery.
