Last Christmas I got this set of 4 Beatles  tiles from my granddaughter, Alli!

I plan to frame them all together and hang them in my music corner!

Meanwhile, I've grouped them together for my Mellow Yellow Monday post!

Lots of cheery yellows here!

We've been getting a lot of cool, cool rain at our place the past couple days!

My roses love it!

 The above rose header was from another time ~ the rose below is recent-just after yesterday's rain .

This is the McCartney rose-named for Beatle, Paul McCartney or his late wife, Linda. 

(I'm not sure which) 

This is a fine rose to share the name-whichever of the two is honored!

I wrote this on my Facebook wall today:

June Kellum

"In honor of 'Fest for Beatles Fans' ~ happening this weekend in NJ~ and for all my Beatles Fanatics friends on FB_I want to post this song!

...besides_ it was determined this is the song I would be if I were a Beatles song!

lol- OK-I can handle that!"

(and for my Beatles Fanatics friends who visit the blog, too!)

What would you be if you were a Were A Beatles Song

June just found out what they would be if they Were A Beatles Song.

They would be :

1:Something

Lovely song!

Thanks, George Harrison and the Beatles!

What 1970 Hit Song Are You?

What 1970 Hit Song Are You?

( click link for this quiz )

June took the What 1970 Hit Song Are You? quiz and the result is "Let it Be" by the Beatles

When you experience trouble or hard times, you realize that life goes on and you just have to let it be. You are optimistic and have hope that the future will be better.

June Kellum

Well-look at that! Just happens to be -probably-my favorite song of all!
It's certainly my favorite Beatles song! :)

My comments to my Blog Lady friends on the recent Beatles discussion...

( see post below this one-for their comments )

Hi Ladies,


George really found himself AFTER the band broke up! He had greater success than any of them - post Beatles-IMO



Well, I have to admit that I only became a big Beatles fan in recent years.

When C. and I were first married we listened only to country music-(His choice) and it was ok with me because I was mostly into my 3 babies and music was not that important to me! :)

lol- well- HOW did I get off on all that?? Oh well-That's me!

3:01 PM

~~~~

Oh- but in recent years I have done a lot of catching up with my music!

How COOL that I have so much music to explore- that was almost totally unknown to me in the early years!!

Anyway- last night I had a very special music listen of Youtubes... continued with Paul- Post Beatles-but ended the night with George Harrison during the same period!

OK-

Here's a great song by George Harrison!

"I rest my case!"

Do you like my music selections?

...and on the subject of music...
I had a fabulous night of Youtube viewing last night.

A friend had told me I should check out McCartney's recent tour at Citi-field, NY ( July, 2009) so I watched several vids.

Yep-Paul still has it- don't you agree?




Thanks for the use of this vid

A Victory Ride and other misc. stuff

We had a very fine day here in Ocala.

I was up very early - before 6:00 - despite the fact that I didn't get to bed until almost 2:00AM!
Yikes! I need more sleep than I'm getting these days...

You'd expect with getting to bed at that time that I might sleep a little later...but -NO! Things are working against me these days/nights-concerning my sleep!

Well- since I was up early I was able to catch another sunrise!

Even though I was tired , I was up and I was
reminded of the old saying..."If life gives you lemons - make lemonade!"
So my day would be a lemonade kinda day!

(LOL- Well-I see the logic in that in relation to my situation today -don't you?)

...AND-here comes the sun! Unfortunately, where we are, I can't see when/where the sun actually comes up, so I have to be content with the gradual lightening of the eastern sky! It's always a sight to see - each new day!



Anyway-my loss of sleep actually gave me 2 benefits which were quite meaningful to me...

#1 benefit:

The reason I was up so late was that I , once again, got into listening to a lot of the Remastered Beatles music on Youtube! These cds are superb and I get caught up with them! They are truly amazing!
(So-YES-the late hour of turning in was worth it!!)

Yep- Beatles just got better, folks!
(Here is one of my/our favorites!)




#2 benefit:

OK-Along with the sunrise,( which was enjoyable) being up early gave Charles and me the opportunity for a Victory ride. We've been looking forward to this cool, fall weather to go riding again! The weather today was just about perfect.

Here we are about to leave our place - around 8:30.



We went for breakfast, accompanied by another cup of coffee,
which was very good. After that we just started riding, with no destination in mind. We rode through some of the big ranch/farm areas.

The sign gives you an idea of how big the horse industry is in our area! These big farms are quite impressive to see!
( Charles and I often fantasize about winning the lottery and buying such a place as some of these farms!...lol-but in the meantime we try to be content with our own little spot!)

To me, there is no more desirable place to live, that I know of, than right where we are here in north Florida; and with our own modest little place! All things considered- this is where I wanna be!

That's a good thing- to be content with your own place in the big picture of your life; at least that's the way I see it!

Our country-side ride~

We came upon a neighborhood that was having a 'Neighborhood-wide Yard Sale'...which of course meant that a lot of the houses had stuff out to sell!

Oh, my! I had lots of fun looking and found a few things I wanted...well- more, actually, than we were able to carry on the motorcycle! In fact, Chas had to make a trip back to get some of the stuff that we bought! :)

Below see what I got!

The old radio shows I gave to my son but the music I kept for myself.
(The oldies and the classical) The horses I also gave to Chris, my son.

Oh- and I really love that vase with the autumn leaves on it!








































How about this?



Is there a more perfect blouse for a girl named Junie Rose than this one? :) ... And the price was certainly right at just.....25 cents! LOL!!


Love,

Swing dancing with the Beatles! (...and MORE!) Family interest!

This is a vid made yesterday at our house of Alli and Zach ( my 'grand' kids)
- SWING DANCING to the Beatles!

They both belong to a swing dance club in Orlando and are having a ball with it! :)

( of course they were a little bit self conscious, performing in front of the family!)


...But-I LOVE it, Zach and Alli! Thanks!





( Added later )



Here are some other pics of our gathering yesterday. It was a sort of early Birthday celebration for our daughter, Tammy - as we probably won't see her on her birthday Oct 1st!

Here we all are! (minus my son , Chris (who had work obligations) ... and Son-in-law-Marc ( who was not home at this time)

Here is the old 'Antiqued' Ginga
(AKA-Junie Rose)

Kenny Rankin

Kenny Rankin

( February 10, 1940 - June 7, 2009 )
I had not heard until recently of Kenny Rankin's death .
I was saddened with this news.

This singer/songwriter/musician was a source of a lot of music listening pleasure for me -since the early 70s. He was one my son, as a teenager, introduced to me - saying, "Mom, you will like this guy a lot!" He was right, too - as he usually was in music matters! :)

Has there ever been a more pure and clear singing voice than this? I doubt it!




Lots of interesting facts about his life and career to be found by searching ...for instance - there is a Beatles connection! :) (LOL-Isn't there always a Beatles connection?)

Go here !

Here he is with Paul McCartney/Beatles', 'Blackbird.'

Hair cut! ~~(UPDATE of my day at bottom)

***

**Update of my day at bottom of this post!**


****

Yes!

Finally got my hair cut...although as hair cuts go you might think this is not much of a cut!

True-it's not that short but is short for me ! (one who prefers long hair!) It had just become too much to deal with, long, in this hot, summer weather we have here. Everyday I ended up putting it up with clips to survive-but that gave me bad headaches; sooo...I had no choice but to get some of it cut off!

LOL-BTW- in this pic it may look like I'm crying but I'm actually just squinting in the bright sunshine!! :)

Just wanted you to see my hair- so disregard the squinched up face! haha




I have a ton of stuff to do around here because we will be leaving Thursday for our annual reunion trip to Alabama. (My husband's family)

We will also see my bro and S-I-L who live up there.

We're looking forward to it even though these trips seem to get harder each year, as we get older! The problem is we never have enough time... Oh well- 'It is what it is' so we make the best of it!

LOL-I will be looking at the sky and old barns...and maybe some flowers and butterflies...and watertowers!! :)

This time, at least, we will not worry so much about leaving the house empty because we'll have folks here looking after our place and animals!

OK- gotta get going...have to color my hair...among a trillion other things-before the end of this day!


Later!


Junie Rose


***
As it turned out I never did get to the coloring of my hair today...or the shopping I need to do either!

Instead I fertilized almost 60 rose bushes!
Ha!! How did that happen? :)

Well, my life is, for the most part, totally unplanned and tho I knew the roses needed attention I had no plan set out to do the job. I just sort of wandered into it today...in spite of more pressing issues! ...Needless to say I'm beat tonight! The way I do it is probably the hardest way. I dissolve the rose food in a big bucket of water and then pour it onto each bush at the base of the plant!....I know... there are sprayers to connect to a hose. That seems much easier but I have never had good experiences with that-so I stick to what I know!

But it's worth the work - ehh??






~~~


Just talked to Alli who has been working on a deal to get me a kitten. Here she is...(hoping it's a girl, anyway...and they think so) If so I will call her 'Lucy!'


I haven't met this kitty yet but Alli says she's a sweetie. I won't get her until after our return from Alabama next week.

**
Very tired tonight so I'm going to bed real soon- with my book and a Melatonin to help me sleep!

Was up, way late, last night checking out some videos of Paul McCartney's current tour. He recently did 3 concerts at Citi Field Stadium, NY. and from what I saw on the vids and heard from friends who saw his shows-McCartney still has the magic! :)

I got caught up in the music and conversations and then I decided to put some 'Paul' songs at the top of my play list again! Consequently, I was very late to bed and sleep!
(As I said earlier- my life-my days and nights- are totally unplanned!)

HA!

NO! I'm not putting a McCartney Youtube on .. :) .. not tonight, anyway) but you can find them easily! (McCartney-Citi Field will bring them up!)


Goodnight!
