Some-a-this and some-a-that... :-)

Yes, another "Because I Can" pic!  -grin-

Tonight is the Dark Moon or the New Moon...  The Full Moon is always beautiful, and I love it.  But I am becoming more and more interested in, and drawn to, the Dark Moon...  The New Moon...

Read half of "The Bouncing Grandma" last night.   -sigh-  Half was all I could get through.  Not my kind of Cozy Mystery with a Grandmother in it.  Too slow.  The Grandma is too young.  Did I say, too slow?  People were not that intriguing.  Oh well, there are plenty more Cozy Mysteries out there.  With plenty more older ladies, whom I'd enjoy more.  

Plus, I guess I've gotten quite "spoiled."  I can't enjoy any small town now, unless it's set in the rural UK .  :-)
But, while I may like my "Grandmas In Books," to be older.......
I want my music (and musicians) to be younger...  In their 30's and from the USA.  "Band Of Horses" latest CD "Mirage Rock"...

There's *my man* Ryan, laughing and rockin' out and having a great time, while making this CD.



Believe-you-me!  Dance and move to this CD, and get over a half hour of GREAT exercise!  Fun!  Fun!  Fun!  ,-)  MY Kind of EXERCISE!!!  ,-)))))))

And the best part is (to me, anyway...), for this latest CD, they just went into the studio and played!  So it's much more like a live performance, than CD's which have been totally over-laid and mixed.

"Some censuring Readers will scornfully say, why
hath this lady writ her own life?  Since none cares to 
know whose daughter she was or whose wife she is, 
or how she was bred, or what fortunes she had, 
or how she lived or what humor or disposition she was of?
I answer that it is true, that 'tis to no purpose to the readers, 
but it is to the authoress, because I write
it for my own sake, not theirs."
~~Margaret Cavendish in 1655

Isn't this, a rather neat description, of our blogging...  tooooo?

"It takes 6 months to get into shape and 2 weeks
to get out of shape.  Once you know
this you can stop being angry about other
things in life and only be angry about this."
~~Rita Rudner

I own all of Gladys Taber's books.   (Except the ones about pets) When we were looking for the recipe for her "Cranberry Island Stew," I had the thought;  "I ought to look in her recipe book."  But typically, I forgot to look.

A Dear Reader let me know, that this recipe is right in Glady's Cookbook.  Which is right on my shelf.    Thank you Dear Reader!  From now on, I should get back to paying attention to my "Maybe-you-ought-to-Thoughts"!!!  Duhhhhhhhhhhh me!
