Let’s go to the arts festival! Everyone loves a good festival, right? Apparently. Have you noticed a certain proliferation in seasonal street carnivals? Everyone wants a piece of the action, with predictable results. There seem to be fewer juried events and more tented shopping malls that might generously be called flea markets. There are fewer arts and crafts for one to truly covet and more substandard tee shirts for one to quickly bypass. But I don’t mean to sound like a snob. I always appreciate a good reason to get out and mingle on a pretty day.

Evidently Jimmy has been to the Backwoods Fest.
The comments about Tarzan’s loincloth and a vine remind me of a joke I can’t tell here. But believe me, it was considered hilarious back in junior high school.
Here’s one of the cats Jackie is referring to: https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-0/p206x206/13260132_1113778682017997_4260005281864417849_n.jpg?oh=477db8e4aaeb0e9dca1f7ee2d57c234a&oe=573F75DF
The picture was taken on mom’s front porch earlier this year.
I highly recommend this event. Jackie, Kyle ought to attend this at least once. It would be worth the trip from OK if he really likes bluegrass music.

Did I do this before? If so time to do it again.
Did you ever wonder how they did the music for The Good, the Bad & the Ugly?

Neat!
Peace,
Old Bear, I like it. But that one guy’s ukelele must be on steroids.

I made a big mistake… Started reading a delightful, funny book. I have been giggling… Now time to stop, get calmed down, and get sleepy. I shall play so e solitare to wind down. 6:15 comes too early!
*some solitaire* . where is that edit button?
Now what? My post about gardening disappeared! I did. I am tired and shoulders hurt. Good night all.

Sometimes I think they just take a notion not to lay that day.
Or ALL the birds non production average day happened just then.
Or did you give them a pep talk and tell them the inspection team was on the way
– sort of like “Chicken Run”

Debbe 😉 Whata ya know…another song about breathing. 🙂

Today’s (5/19/16) A&J is so true! That kind of conversation always seems interesting – in a cartoon, even – but certainly in real life. Maybe it is just my habit of watching the family funds….
Good morning Villagers…
Sitting here in awe of the full moon peeking through the trees. Sun will be rising soon…..Amen.
So many videos, so little time. Old Bear, I had seen that video before, but, if I remember right, it showed more of the orchestra, the facial expressions….especially the guy trying to whistle at the end and got to laughing….I always wanted that “wah, wah, wah and whistle” as a ringer on my cell phone.
198 cases yesterday…..yeah!!!! And yes, I did go out and speak to “Golden Boy”…told him he better step up to his job….he wasn’t there just for his good looks.
Gal, I like to play a little solitaire in the morning…just a few games, about ten minutes worth….want to see how lucky my day is going to be (just kidding)…..takes my mind off of the upcoming events to play out the day.
Steve…and another thing about Michigan….it’s so flat. My relatives live around Flint.
Ya’ll have a blessed day….
GR 😉 what a majestic beauty….and I’m not talking about the two legged kind….hey, it’s Belmont stakes Saturday 🙂

E.S. George Reserve, WSW of Pinckney, MI, has an esker running through it, and UP’s Porcupine Mts. aren’t flat either.

Porn was ok in the 19th c., as long as only the rich could afford it. Maybe it was ok in France anyway, though some were horrified at ‘Luncheon on the grass.’
Peace,
Ghost: I think JJ wrote today’s strip with you in mind…
Debbe: Funny that you should say that. I grew up in Fort Wayne and except for some of the lakes, the land is pretty flat, but you go south of the 40 and you get some rolling hills. The same holds true for Michigan. You get up to the upper Lower and the Upper and you get similar hills like you have in southern Indiana. Now those hills have nothing in comparison to the US west of Denver, but they do make travelling in the winter treacherous.
My wife grew up in Grand Blanc and it is still a nice suburb. Flint started to go downhill in the early 80’s and has been in a depressed state ever since. The water crisis can be summed up with a very old saying: ” Success has many Fathers while failure is an orphan.” The issue was caused by the failure of many on both sides of the aisle and the solution needs the support of both sides. Unfortunately that still hasn’t happened yet.
I thought Jimmy was looking in MY windows or at least my lingerie armoire?
Do you know what it costs to lose weight and replace all your underwear?
Debbe,
Sorry to correct you but this Saturday is the Preakness Stakes, the second crown of the Triple Crown of horse racing. It is run at Pimlico. The Belmont, longest of the three races, is the first Saturday in June. Just a little trivia for the day.
God bless us every one.
Some nice Celtic music to start the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcSqI1KZiLI
The Belmont is actually June 11th. The Preakness is 2 weeks after the Derby and the Belmont is 3 weeks after the Preakness. I would love to see Nyquist get a hat trick. Maybe we can throw and Octopus on the track (Detroit Hockey tradition)
