How was your weekend? Come on now, tell us something.
This weekend wasn’t our normal fare as we had family visiting; therefore no dance floor time for us. Saturday’s rain continues to keep us over the average for July and for the year. That’s OK because at least the weather wasn’t stifling! Plus, Sunday’s weather was one of those days I could take everyday.
If all goes as planned, Time: The Musical continues on the next post featuring song titles with Day, Days, or a weekday (Monday through Friday). Get your song titles and videos ready, and have a backup because no duplicates.
This week is has numerous celebratory opportunities. Monday is Lasagna Day and Tuesday is Chicken Wing Day and Paperback Book Day. Wednesday is Uncommon (Musical) Instruments Awareness Day, plus, White Lady in the Hood will welcome anyone willing to cheer the start of Fancy Rat and Mouse Week – so make a note to visit her on Wednesday for a celebratory greeting!
August starts on Thursday, which provides starts month-long culinary celebrations for celery, fennel, cactus, goat cheese, catfish, panini, orange, and papaya.
To jump-start your week, here are some funny talking animals – kind of the opposite of Dr. Dolittle. Have a good week!

Restful weekend. Managed a lunch on a deck here finally. Unseasonable rain and coolness here. High of 60 tomorrow with rain. Happy to be working

Well, Frank, we came home from vacation and our car’s transmission clunked out a half mile from home. Vacation was officially over. Oh well…on to Monday! I think I’ll like the culinary celebrations in August much more than Fancy Rat and Mouse week. Yikes! I look forward to your music theme this week…now if I can just figure out how to give you the link without embedding the youtube! 🙂

Hey, Frank. Thanks for visiting my posts. I, too, have enjoyed the marvelous weather. You can hear the corn growing on a quiet night.
I have picked out a couple of songs. I will try to keep mine in a particular genre.
The animal talk video got me to chuckling. I shared it on facebook. Nothing like some silliness to start the week.
Gotta golf date with 2 buddies tomorrow PM. Making yogurt this morning.
We went to a showing of ‘A Place at the Table’ in our local theater Sunday. Several advocacy and support groups sponsored it with a discussion after. The lack of a fair and decent food and nutrition policy, as well as a living wage, are criminal imho.
OK…I am off my soapbox now. Thanks for the good start to Monday. Have an interesting day. That goes for everyone, too.
