I remember the commercial he did, where he said, "Did you ever eat a pine tree?"

I don't know about asparagus, but there's a song on my Halloween playlist called "Celery Stalks at Midnight."

My cousins, sister and I had lots of fun with that "pine tree" commercial he did for Grape Nuts cereal!
I have a recording of "Celery Stalks at Midnight" by the Will Bradley big band.

Mine is Les Brown and his Band of Renown, with the vocal by Doris Day.
Will Bradley was a good band!

Afternoon all!! Finally finished painting all those clay blocks I made for "Helms Deep". I kinda figure there is close to 6k blocks I made and it might not be enough... decided to get it out of the way before the holidays got here.

Well I've been out running all morning. I hit up a few yard sales that advertised outdoor christmas decorations but didn't find anything that I wanted. I found my sister a few things for her house though. Then I hit up a few goodwill's and once again found a few things for my sister but nothing for me. So at least my sister had a good day. LOL!!! Hope everyone is enjoying their day!!!!

The big band music of the 30's and 40's is my favorite music! I have hundreds of songs from that period.

You should see some of the B-movie musicals that feature big bands and/or band singers ... but they're so rare to find on video. Likewise Soundies. We like swing music, too!

Good morning and Happy Saturday!
It's going to be partly cloudy today with a high of 71, we're currently at 47 degrees. I tidied up the house and started laundry so far. My hubby just left for work, he has to be on a job in the city today. I'll be heading out to do some food shopping after I finish my cup of coffee. The girls are all off today which is nice, we're going out for lunch later. Not too much else going on. Should be a relaxing evening, we'll just be catching up on some shows. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful weekend!!!
xx

Happy Weekend MMC! I got my Nintendo Switch back and it works great. Free of charge they fixed it since it's under warranty for the first year. Very happy about that even though I only have one game for it. Those games are expensive ($60-$70 each). I'm getting a 2nd one for Christmas so I'll get some good use out of it. Just some errands today and some relaxation. Have a great Saturday!

Good Morning, Hilariously Happy Holidayites!

And as the Season nears, the happiness just keeps growing!

Since all growing things need water, let's sprinkle some count data into the picture:
Days to Halloween: 10 (SINGLE DIGITS from tomorrow!)
Days to the Season: 23 (Three weeks from the day after tomorrow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 65 (Two months and four days left!)

(We are getting there, step by step!)


Still the really nice weather as we enter this next-to-the-last weekend in October.
We are off to the annual NC State Fair later this morning and should have a clear,
dry day, with temperatures in the upper 70's.
We start things off here this morning with a thermometer reading of 54 degrees.


Have a Sensational Saturday, Everybody!
Enjoy your weekend.

Happy Saturday! My husband is working today and my oldest daughter is over at a friend's house. I am just catching up on laundry and relaxing. No real plans tonight and my daughter has a softball game tomorrow but it should be a nice day! Hope you all have a great day!
