FReeper Canteen - Christmas In July - 23 July 2015
Our Troops Rock!!! | Canteen DJ's

Posted on 07/22/2016 5:56:20 PM PDT by AZamericonnie



The FReeper Canteen Presents.....

"Christmas in July"

There's nothing like a few days of blistering 100 degree temperatures to make us wistful for the frosty months of winter. Throw in some high humidity and zero air movement and suddenly shoveling snow, navigating icy sidewalks and bundling up in layers of sweaters, scarves and jackets sounds like a mighty fun time.



It's hot, you're sweaty and longing for some relief from the heat, aren't you? And while thinking about winter, you're probably also dreaming of all those snowy nights of Christmas celebrations? Well, you can't actually change the season now, but the closest you can get to doing so is reduce the time left for Christmas and celebrate it now, in July. That's what many are doing year after year. An unofficial holiday, Christmas in July imitates the festivities of the actual Christmas and signifies our yearning for the coolness of winter amid the scorching summer months.



Soooo......krank up those A/C's, don your favorite sweater & let's all have some hot chocolate!

We’re at 95 and there are a couple of thunderstorms not too far off. More than likely, neither will come here but they sure have cranked up the humidity. UGH!

We wish it would cool off enough for the cats to go outside. We don’t let them out in this weather because we don’t want them to suffer heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Too many animals are taken to local vets suffering one or the other and it infuriates the vets. Infuriates me, too, if I happen to be there when one shows up.

So ours stay inside and drive us up the walls. LOL

We have thunderstorms out to the west but it looks like they are tracking north of us.

Storms are scattered all around us but they aren’t moving much. The little movement there is is to the NW. The one to our east MIGHT move here but we aren’t holding our breath. We’d like for it to reach us, though, so our soybeans can have a drink. Their leaves are droopy.

What we need is a 2 or 3 day non-stop steady rainfall. Trees all over the place are dying. It’s been a very dry year here along with hot.

That would be a little warmer than usual for late July here in NC, but the low humidity would offset the temperature, lol.

Tonight, I will be featuring Linda Ronstadt.
She is the most successful female vocalist of all time.
Ms. Ronstadt suffers from Parkinsons Disease, and is
unable to sing any longer.

She retired from her singing career in 2012.
Tonight, we shall revisit some of her greatest hits.
Yes, I know she’s a liberal moonbat, but the girl could sing!
Hope you enjoy!
Ms.B

Moonbat or not, there’s no arguing the gal had a set of pipes.

I didn’t know she has Parkinson’s. I just knew I hadn’t heard anything about her in quite a while.

BUMP, I, like many guys in the '70's , had a big crush on Linda Ronstadt.

Bring the tunes on, MS, thanks!

Great choice. Will you be programming any of her songs from "Songs of My Father"?

I'm home tonight, and next weekend will be my last for the Seattle Chamber Music Festival this season. I've attended some great concerts this year.

She had one of the most beautiful voices on the planet!
It is so sad this songbird can no longer sing, but she
has left us with a wonderful legacy of her career!
