What a cute graphic! I love that bear. I'm truly impressed, you actually found a graphic supporting our troops AND in keeping with the "Teddy Bear Day" theme today. That's amazing. LOL :-)

Happy Teddy Bear Day to you!

It's amazing what you can find at the "Google" store! hehehe Glad you liked it too.

Hi Dansy!! How's life in Florida?

Hey Jen!

It's good to be back with family and near the ocean, but I wish employment would find us. We knew it would be rough, but this is getting scary.

Hoping you and your family are doing well!

Evening everybody. Oh my, Teddy Bear Day - my favorite day! ;-)

Gosh, I know so many people who are experiencing employment woes. I will add you to my list to pray for God to provide with great jobs. My hubby works for the hometown airline but is seeking employment elsewhere. I'm thankful that he is not being forced out the door - not YET anyway, but who the heck knows what will happen next! Unfortunately the good-paying jobs that interest him are in places where it's too blasted cold and snowy for this peach and too "blue". I'm hoping and praying we'll be able to stay here (where it's warm and few looney liberals)! ;-)

Hey Victoria! Long time no see!! Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the song.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hey Jen!!! Good to see you, friend!

Here is another one, just for you and your margarita, hehe.

Have you ever heard this one?

Spanish Doll

B.A. Rolf and His Lucky Strike Dance Orchestra ~~~~~~ 1929
This one is a recent find and a definite rarity . It comes from an old Edison "Needle Type Electric" record. Most of Edison's disc records were of the thick Diamond Disc variety - which could not be played on most competitor's phonographs. In the summer of 1929, in an attempt to revive sales, Edison began manufacturing conventional 78 rpm records which were billed as "Needle Type Electric" records. When the stock market crashed in October 1929, Edison - the man who had invented the phonograph way back in 1877 - was forced to exit the record business for good.

I like that too.

I found a site with some music from the 20's and 30's. It is kinda interesting.

Victor Young and His Orchestra; George Bueler, vocal, ~ 1934

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wow, it sure is. A little slow for my taste, but sounds good.

Hope you like this one...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I'm going to my parents for Thanksgiving break. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll stop by when I can.

[JustAmy]

Have a great Thanksgiving, Tulip.

Enjoy your break. Hope you get a chance to visit us while you are at your parents.

Have a great week!!!
