This Friday before Mother's Day

Good evening on this TGIF Friday. This Sunday is Mother's Day and I haven't forgotten.
Two weeks ago our school was hosting a conference spelling bee. I remember that during the first half of the bee, our school was sweeping the house and was winning the first couple grades. The great feeling that ran through our school was electrifying knowing our school was right at it.
Yeah, we rocked.
World News with Charles Gibson was here in Seattle yesterday and today is their last day here. Watch to see their Person of the Week.
Now I couldn't really decide over what song to give you, as Mother's Day is on Sunday. Maybe the best song is the original "If I Can Dream" by Elvis Presley as a solo, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Barbra Streisand, maybe even"My Girl" by the Tempations, or perhaps that duet by Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie, what was it called? "Unforgettable" ? That's right.



You know. I could have put the Temptations' "My Girl" here and the words and everything would have been just right for all the mothers out there but that's okay.
Anyways, good night and have a Happy Mother's Day.
Later...

This TGI Friday in Seattle

Sorry I haven't posted for a week now, although I probably nobody even reads this. Summer feels like it's coming in soon; and you can feel the Sun's ray of warmth agreeing. With people mowing their lawns and tending their gardens, planning July vacations, hearing baseball games on the radio, and seeing kids out playing in the streets and in the woods, you know summer will be on its way soon.
Anyways, it's a regular Friday afternoon here in the Puget Sound/Seattle area. Friday's traffic around the highways has started and is slowing people down as they try to head home. If I were a local news anchor, I'd be able to better show you the local atmosphere with it's clouds, sun, traffic, and people's faces showing their Friday feelings.

Usually I get off the bus early but today I was last and I was able to better see the regular Seattle traffic as my friends head on home. And we were listening to Radio Disney and a song that shows the feelings of this local commute atmostphere in Puget Sound and across the nation, came on.

This is how we live in America with our cars commuting on highways and bi-ways; this song tells all.


It's Friday; TGIF. Have a great weekend...

I Almost Forgot; It's Good Friday

Well now I just realized I said TGIF but I didn't leave you guys a song for the weekend. I was thinking of "Yesterday", "When I'm 64" and their many different arrangements and performers, mainly the Beatles.

However, I decided not so. I could give other classic pop songs some other time.
I don't think this song is the full version I know but it's the best I can find on YouTube. So here's Elvis Presley with "How Great Thou Art."



Have a Good Friday and a great Easter Weekend.
