Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the day I was born. Wow, I'm more than half a century old! How great is that?! I've never considered myself as getting old. Just old-er. Growing up, I remember hearing people lamenting the fact that they were 30, or 40, or older. I always wanted to turn 50, because at 50, you've lived long enough to, hopefully, have gained a pretty good wealth of knowledge, and yet, still young enough to enjoy the knowledge you've gained. So, I've been 50 for 2 years now, and I think it's just getting better. I definately would NOT want to go back!

I'm Still Waiting...

I did what you told me . I sent the email to 10 or more people like you said .
I'm still waiting for that miracle to happen.
To all my friends who in the last year sent me best 'wishes', chain letters, 'angel' letters or other promises of good luck if I forwarded something,
NONE OF THAT CRAP WORKED!
For 2008, could you please just send money, gasoline vouchers or airline tickets instead?
Thank you!

Car Wash

Okay, so I don't look or sound like Rose Royce, and it's a pretty sure bet that after today, I would never get hired to work at a car wash, either.
I was there, bee-boppin' along, washing away on my car, when all of a sudden, the power washer hit a "spot" on my car that sent the water straight back into my face, just like a waterfall! It shocked me to suddenly get hit in the face with a blast of water! I quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching. Thankfully, no one saw me. At least I hope they didn't. I'm a total dork, standing there in my shorts, white legs glaring in the sun, with my hair now totally soaked and water dripping off my chin. So, I don't think a job at the car wash is a likely career for me! :)

Happy 4th of July!

In the words of Lee Greenwood:
I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
Happy Birthday, America!

5 Grown "Men"

Okay, this is a post script to my "Rockstar" post. I just had to tell this funny story. Yesterday, when we were getting everything set up for the concert, I was inside the Fellowship Hall of the church working on the balloon arch. Some of the guys (3 of them our band members) were just outside setting up the equipment. One came inside looking for a place to plug in the electical cords. He tried the plug that was closest to the door. He said to me, "This plug doesn't work. Do you know where there's another one that is close enough?" I told him that that plug should work, as we use it all the time. Just then, another one of the "men" came up and said, "I just used that plug earlier this afternoon. It works.!" First guy, "I just tried it and it doesn't work." By this time 3 others have arrived and, as I'm blowing up balloons across the room, I look over to see 5 grown men all standing looking at the plug on the wall and discussing among themselves whether or not the plug works or should they try to find another plug. It just reminded me of something straight out of a comedy routine you'd see on TV, and I just burst out laughing! You see these kinds of actions on tv but I, at least, thought it was ONLY on tv and that real people didn't actually act like that! Well, to me it funny and I just had to share it with you! lol

ROCKSTARS!!!

Today we were the "Geezer Rock Star Group", and we even had our very own "groupies"! lol Both in service this morning and this afternoon outside, our band ROCKED! Here's a couple of pics from our Freedom Concert today in our church parking lot. We have video, but have to get it edited and then I'll have to figure out how to post videos on the blog. And check out the balloon arch - first one I ever made. I made half of it, and then I showed a girl in our church how to do it, and she finished up the other half while I went out to help get things set up for our event.

So You Wanna Be A Rock Star?

Soemtimes I don't even know where my brain goes to come up with some of the things that I think of. Does anyone else ever wonder things like that?
O well, tomorrow I'm gonna be a rock star! At least in my own mind anyhow. lol!
We've been planning for a while now for a concert in our church parking lot. Our band will be playing, along with a couple of other groups from other churches.
Our band has had two practices in the last week. You have to understand that we never, I mean N.E.V.E.R. get to practice. Our "practices" consist of us playing for worship every Sunday. But we've been practicing for this concert and we are E.X.C.I.T.E.D.! The whole band is pumped up and we're gonna be ROCK STARS! (Like I said, in our own minds.) We're really just a bunch of geezers! The youngest member of our band, our drummer, is 40. But in our minds, we are all 18 year old rock stars! Anyhow, we're hoping to get it on video, and get some pics, too. I probably won't be able to put up any video, as I don't know how. But after tomorrow night, I'll post some pics so you can see what geezer Rock Stars look like! Okay, TTFN and all that jazz. :)
