Your poem is comforting for an evening read. I love the wonderful way you write!

[DollyCali]

well good grief.. IF one is an early bird rather than owl, you just might miss it.

Never heard of it & my it is lovely.. thanks jaycee

Toe tappin’, foot stompin’, body movin’ music...of course you already knew that! Nice Billie, cute graphic...thanks!!

Thanks, jaycee. Now I know you will appreciate this, so I'm posting it ONLY to you (of course no one else can see it LOL), so I will tell you that I have ALWAYS wanted to hear Tina Turner and Taylor Hicks do "Proud Mary" - THAT would be a Dream Team to me. Can you imagine how the two of them could tear up a stage, and if it were in a coliseum, blow the dang roof off!

[Billie]

Just wanted to say again how cute all your dust bunnies were last night!

[Billie]

Thank you for ODB every morning, Rus.

Wishing you all a Happy Tuesday - you beat me here this morning, but of course that's not unusual! :)

[Billie]

OK, I know - it's a BOY dog.

The necktie gave it away? :)

I love that little "breathing" animation! Darling!

[Billie]

Good points, jaycee!

[Billie]

Morning, Dolly - thanks for the newsy update - you do stay one busy gal!

[Billie]

Love it Billie! And the band is a rockin’!! They remind me of one of my favorites, the Gig Street Jazz Band (Playing “There’ll Be a Hot Time In The Old Town, Tonight):

Thanks, yorkie. I'm crazy about this kind of foot-stomping music, too! The sketch in my opening is "The Riverboat Stompers", a dixieland jazz band.

[yorkie]

JC, here is a very interesting link about the plant (that is native to Arizona, if you can believe that):

I know what you mean about plants shedding - just one more thing to clean up. (And we don’t NEED that, do we?)

I think the Riverboat Queen graphic I posted is a bird house. But, if I were a bird, I sure wouldn’t want to sleep in there with no curtains!

Thank you, too JC for your post on my little boy dog this morning. (I love gifs that show breathing - makes them seem more real. LOL!)

[yorkie]

Billy, the Gig Street Boys really get going about half way through the link (There’ll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight). They play on the streets in France - and I would just love to hear them in person!

[yorkie]

WOW! Wouldn’t THAT be some duo?

[Lady Jag]

You're doing it right with the vac.

Some people try to lure them out and set them free and that is too inefficient.

[jaycee]

When I heard it this morning Tina Turner was the first one who came to mind. But the Taylor loves to get down, it would be an explosive combination! Girl, don't you have any pull in this big world...LOL!! I cannot believe Tina Turner is still dancing and singing so well at her age! She will be 70 this November and seems to look the same. I just read her birth name is Anna Mae Bullock! Now Taylor, what can I say...I gotta go out for a little while....why don't you play me a little Taylor, please! (I'll be back after while)

[Lady Jag]

Morning, MEG. Hope you’re busy-ness is enjoyable today.

[jaycee]

You silly thing...but so funny!

[jaycee]

The way we’re discussing ‘breathin’ gifs, you’d think we weren’t breating...LOL!

I will check that link when I get back. Yes, it is strange that it is native to Arizona. She also has that plant that doesn’t bloom much but its the one that when it does bloom, it stinks real bad. I saw a story about that on t.v. one time! They say you can’t stand to get near it because of the bad odor...strange things, huh?

See ya after while!

[jaycee]

I may not be breathing....sure couldn’t spell it in that last post.....Guess its catching??

[Billie]

LOL! I THOUGHT he looked familiar!

Billie, you are a GENIUS with your graphics. How did you remove the hands?

I have sharp scissors. (yikes!)  :)

(Never mind - just tell me that you will remove wrinkles, if I send you a picture of me.) Wink wink and a giggle.

Aw, what wrinkles?

[Lady Jag]

Not that there’s anything wrong with being silly . . .
