Happy Saturday

As I blog, I am listening to one of my favorite rock and roll duos on Myspace.com: Les Paul and Mary Ford. I am listening to one of my favorite CD's-"Les Paul and Mary Ford's 16 Most Requested Songs."

My love affair with their music began years ago, when I lived on the West Coast in the early 90's. I heard one of their songs on one of the moldy oldies radio stations, and I was like "Who is that???"A few years later, I purchased this particular CD and fell in love with it. I have heard only a handful of their songs, but before I die, I want to hear all of them. This CD comes with the Jules stamp of approval-if you like oldies like I do, you owe it to yourself to buy it. It's out of print, but a little birdie told me you can pick it up on Amazon.com.

Ok, so I went to a couple of garage sales yesterday. Yes, as hot as it was, I tortured myself, walking a total of 12 blocks, six going there and six coming back, sweating like a pig. To make matters worse, I got caught in the rain too. That, my friends, was definitely the thrill of my whole day, besides racking up the bargains. At one point, it was raining so hard, I couldn't see.

I picked up some recipe books(as if I don't have enough already-lol), a really cute big, black purse that was originally priced at $8.00(I haggled the cost down to $4.00-I was really happy about that!), some books for our daughter, a cassette tape of "Tupelo Honey" by Van Morrison(my husband insisted I purchase it for him, and at .50 cents, that was quite an offer that I couldn't refuse), "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo on paperback(that was $1.00, and my husband wanted that too), and some other miscellaneous items. I love garage sales!

Tonight, my husband is making dinner and he's also off work tomorrow-a double pleasure. We're just having a quiet, peaceful day at home....which is what we both like :)
