You run into a lot of great people in this town….I just met this one guy, and we’ve become pretty good friends. But he’s a bit of a Klutz….
… he keeps falling into potholes…. the guy’s name is Phil.
We have a very nice neighbor (…her name is Maggie)… she’s about our age, and has a really cute little grandson. He swallowed some coins they had on display in their home the other day. Maggie phoned the hospital to see how he was doing. To which the nurse said… “No change yet.”
The cable guy was here today. Told us a very sweet story, as he worked…..”Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.”
Driving a car downtown here is crazy! Especially with a huge monster of an SUV like mine. The other day, I could not pull out of my parking space, so I used my back up plan.
One of life’s great truths… especially in the South:
Seven days without grits…… makes one weak.
In the news….. Who ELSE is getting tired of hearing about this Royal Wedding Hoopla that’s coming about. William and Kate is it? (I’ve had enough already….) But here is an interesting tidbit about that country across the Pond…. England doesn’t have a kidney bank…… but it does have a Liverpool.
Finding my inspiration to write is sometimes very difficult for this thing. But I heard that others have had troubles coming up with stories to pen. Like this….. Charles Dickens was despondent in a Paris bar, telling the bartender “It is the worst of times, for I am without an idea for a new work. Let me partake of a vodka martini,” to which the bartender responded “Olive or twist?”
….

………… enough Corn for one night…. more than enough corn.
Well at least we finally know whatever happened to Maggie. She moved to Charleston and her grandkids live on spare change.
Maggie May:
Wake up Maggie, I think I’ve got something to say to you
It’s late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I fell I’m being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn’t have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that’s what really hurts
The morning sun when it’s in your eyes really shows your age
But that don’t worry me none, in my eyes you’re everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn’t need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn’t have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that’s a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a helping hand
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/rod-stewart-lyrics/maggie-may-lyrics.html)
But you turned into a lover and mother
What a lover, you wore me out, all you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie, I couldn’t have tried any more
You led me away from home
‘Cause you didn’t want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn’t leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collected my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy’s cue and make a living at playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand
Oh Maggie, I wished I’d never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I’m as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
I’d never seen your face
I’ll get on back home, one of these days
We saw Rod Stewart in concert…at the Nutter. OMG. It has been about 15 years or so now… HOW is THAT possible. WE were the oldest ones there THEN… LOL…
I love that song. 🙂
