Hello, my name is...

From pretty much the day John

died, the engine light in the car

has been on.  I knew what it was

and it wasn't something that needed

to be dealt with.  Then on New Years

Eve I had to have the battery changed

and the light went out.  Well, a couple

of days ago it came back on.  So

in the interest of making sure it 

was still the same thing, (it was)

I took it to be checked.  I had left

my cd on-fairly loud-not thinking

about it.  He turned on the car and

Matthew West came on singing,

"Hello, my name is".  Instead of

reaching over and turning it

down he started to sing with it!

So there we are standing in a

light rain singing together!   What

a blessing! 

I made a couple of things for

Robin's Pastor's granddaughter.  She

is trying to encourage him, but I

think being able to take a special

surprise for her might lift him up as

well.  Besides, I just like making

girly things!

Front and back of a mini notebook

that she can draw or write in and front

and inside of a card.  As you can see, I

do love my angels stamp!

One more day!  My daughter in law said

someone told her in Toledo they signed

cd's if you bought them.  I think I'm

going to buy a pair of Duncan's drumsticks,

too.  I was going to once before but

then changed my mind.  I don't

know where I would display them, but

I'm sure I could find a place.  Maybe

under my pillow??  LOL

I was sad-and shocked-to see that
Prince had died.  He was only 2 months
older than me!   Michael Jackson was
3 weeks younger.  What the heck is going
on here?  Everyone  was talking yesterday
about him and "purple rain".  My favourite
song of his was "Raspberry Beret".  What an
icon.  He and Michael Jackson made MTV
what it is today.  (which isn't saying much,
I realize.  I'm talking about putting it
on the map.)  If it weren't for them and
a handful of others there would be no
MTV.  That might not be the worst
thing in the world....some of their
programming leaves a lot to be
desired.
