Words to Create by.

I've Always been a Huge Fan, of Patsy Cline.

<3

Patsy... sadly, died in a plane crash the year I was born.

Her Music, 'Art'...  has lived on, and on.

<3

Discovered Patsy's above quote... a dozen years ago, or so.

Like Patsy's 'Art', her above... may be one of my Favorite Quotes.

; )

'If Ya can't do it with 'feeling'...

don't.'

In my opinion, those are words to live by.

Certainly... words to 'create' by, or.. don't.

; )

Big Week... 

ahead.

oh my.

; )

Life... in my humble opinion, is all about 

'The Journey', 

and the

'The Details'...

 within.

; )

From the tiniest... to the Grandest, and Gnarliest.

; )

Ultimately, if those 'details'... don't have 'feeling', well...

again,

in my opinion, 

they'll always be seen, heard...

'felt'...

'come off'...

 a little

'flat'.

Patsy... was a Wise Woman.

'True Artist'.

To my knowledge,

Patsy...

 never

 'sang'

 'off-key'.

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

Sunday... mornin'.

Wrote a long post... last night, concerning... Polly, above.

<3

{ I rescued Polly, once...

She Rescued me, a Million Times.}

and...

how Grateful I am, for The Amazing People and Critters, who I've been So Blessed to have crossed paths with, on this 'Journey' called 'Life'.

<3

Between the 'Memories', and Tequila, wound up deleting it all.

It got way too deep.

<3

; )

Hope... to re-write it, soon.

What a Ride.

What a Ride.

: )

Crazy... Busy Week, ahead.

Seems many are wound pretty tight, these days.

We're livin' in The Twilight Zone, and Ridin' The Crazy Train back and forth, to it.

oh...dear.

; )

All we can do, is Hold On Tight, and be Grateful...

 we're

 Still in The Game.

; )

Be Grateful... for Those who are Riding With.

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

Changes... gads.

Indeed.

; )

I've been in a Tizzy... today.

: /

YouTube, as of yesterday... took the 'blogger' button away, that I use to share music.

: (

I'm Not... a computer whiz, by Any Means.

{Ask Pal, Bill. : ) He Laughs when I struggle to 'copy and paste'. 

Hahahahaha!!!

; )

Hey...

I Live in 'The Old World'. Not much interests me, in this... 

'New' one.}

: )

I was Determined... to figure out the Music Issue.

Music, is a Big Deal, to me.

<3

Poetry... set to Tune.

<3

I... believe, I may have figured it out.

; )

The Music, I hope... will now be inside the posts.

We shall see.

: )

Ran across the below images, today.

Found the above late 1800's oil painting at a Wonderful...

Mt. Vernon, Iowa... Estate Sale, around 20... years ago.

<3

It hangs in the kitchen.

: )

Love that old Painting.

Beloved Best Friend, at Rest.

<3

After 'beloved' Polly... passed away, 

took in Sweetie, above.

<3

10 years ago... or so.

One day... when I was walking by her, it Struck me.

The Painting, and Sweetie... were So Close.

<3

Sadly... Sweetie passed away, 6 years ago, or so.

We... didn't have enough time together.

but, the time we shared, Sweetie was Spoiled Beyond.

Deservingly So.

<3

I'm gonna post this, we'll see if music will play, when the above is 'clicked'.

??

Love to Ya... 

Prayers for All.

Truth.

; )

Just... sayin'.

I... could've spoken out at last night's Fairfax's  'special' council meeting.

I chose to remain silent.

; )

Bless their hearts.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

Walking To New Orleans (Remastered)

Time will Tell.

<3

Love the above image.

This day has slipped away from me.

At least the day's are getting a little longer.

: )

Spring... will be here before we know it.

Many busy days ahead.

Another 'special'... city council meeting, this evening.

Oh Boy!!

Fairfax is a very sad... place.

Feel so incredibly sorry for our Mayor, and three of the Council members.

Can't imagine putting up with death threats, and being called filthy names while shoveling their sidewalk, by... a city official, no less.

: (

A Sheriff's report was filed... 

Unbelievable.

They've, in my opinion... been beyond bullied, just like our former City Administrator, was,

 I was told.

{He resigned after 5 months, was given a 25,000. severance package, and was forced to sign a confidentiality clause.

The good news, for him... I've heard, he's in California, as a city admin. I'm certain a much better work environment.}

Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall... is very toxic, in my opinion.

: (

Many have told me... when people get this ugly, there's something much deeper going on.

Time will tell.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

At the end of the day....
