Well, I HOPE they like the tunes I’ve chosen any way. Just gonna post ‘em and maybe they’ll find at least tune or two that suits their fancy. :-)

I like all kinds of music but at heart, I’m a rocker. Sometimes I get in the mood for mellow but most of the time a beat that makes my heart pump fast is in order.

I have a death grip on Peter Pan - - never gonna grow up. LOL

Growing up stinks! LOL! I don’t think I will, either. But even as a teenager, I liked the softer more romantic tunes. I guess because I couldn’t dance worth a flip. :)

Good evening, radu...things were for sure slick. Thankfully the fog all cleared out at least long enough to get home, but it has already dropped to 7. The news guy said it’s gonna get lower.

You still on track for more rain?

Hey, no one’s payin’ us to grow up! :-)

Give me a thumpin’ bass. The more I can feel it, the better.
As for dancing, I won’t say I’m a good dancer but I dance with vigor. Or used to when I was more nimble and didn’t have a bum back. Just let the music go in the ol’ ears and did whatever it made me feel like doing. LOL! Might not have been pretty but it sure felt good.
I miss those days.

I do miss the days of boundless energy and being able to walk for hours without getting tired.

But I still get out and do stuff whenever there’s someone around to do it with.

Whew! Glad you made it home safe and sound. I took a peek at the cams earlier and saw the fog was gone, but the damage was already done.
Hmmmm, maybe you shouldn’t have complained about it being warm earlier in the winter. Now you’re getting payback. LOL

Yes, we have a GOOD dose of rain coming this weekend. They say we’ll get 3 to 4 inches here between tomorrow evening and Sun. afternoon. We certainly need it.

I can still walk for a long time with no problems. Just can’t do anything bouncy, like dance.

When the weather’s nice enough, I enjoy walking up and down the driveway for exercise. I can keep up with how far I’ve walked because the driveway’s .1 of a mile long. It’s really nice at night with crickets chirping and occasional shooting stars in the sky.

I’d love to walk country roads. Walking on town streets is a challenge that I don’t like to take. Sissy I guess. You can’t really see much...and stars? Forget it! LOL!

True dat. City life is different from country life, that’s for sure. It isn’t as safe for one thing. I don’t know that I’d walk around town at night but would during the day. Not nearly as nice though.

I’ve gotten spoiled living here and couldn’t live in town again.

I’ve always lived in town, but used to love visiting my relatives in the country. You’re lucky to have such a pretty setting to walk in.

It wouldn’t be so bad walking on city streets if they weren’t so ugly here. No trees to speak of and as of now, all the grass is dead brown color. LOL!

When I was in WY, there was a walking/biking path behind the keds’ apartment building. When you walked, you could see the mountains with snow on the tops, and lots of patches of wild flowers. The air was crystal clear and not too hot, even in August. Now THAT I could handle!

I grew up in town and lived in large cities after I left home years ago. It wasn’t until Hubby and I got together that I finally had the pleasure of living in the country. Now I could never go back to town or city life with people living so close by.

Just seeing the area around Jackson Hole on the cams, yeah - - no bad scenery wherever you walk with those mountains so close by. Just gorgeous!
But just too darn cold up there this time of year. LOL

Yes, it is too cold. Our son wants us to move up there but I don’t think it’ll ever happen. For one thing, we could never afford a house anywhere around there. it’s cha-ching!!

You have the perfect set-up for you AND for all your furbabies. They are very lucky y’all moved back there! Say....have you seen any more of the bobcat that had taken up residence in your barn?

Nope, it’s a nice place to visit during summer to escape the TX heat, but to live there year-round? That would be a bit much, even if it wasn’t so expensive. Snow and a little cold is nice in small doses and they much more than that. LOL

Hubby has lived here pretty much his whole life. I’m the newbie. It really is a nice setup for the cats since we’re set back off the road. Hubby’s cousin’s house next door is right up by the road and he’s lost a few cats to fast cars over the years.

I have yet to see that bobcat. Hubby’s only seen it a couple of times and hasn’t mentioned seeing it lately. No idea if it’s still hanging around or not.
