Everyday People

This song has always been a favorite of mine, sung by Sly & the Family Stone or later by Nicole C. Mullen. 






Everyday People

Sometimes I'm right, and I can be wrong,
My own beliefs are in my song,
the butcher, the banker, the drummer and then,
Makes no difference what group I'm in...

I'm everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a blue one who can't accept the green one,
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes, for different folks,
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo

Ooooh sha sha we got to live together

I am no better and neither are you,
We are the same whatever we do,
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then,
You can't figure out the bag I'm in...

I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a long hair who doesn't like the short hair,
For being such a rich one that will not help the poor one,
And different strokes, for different folks,
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo

Ooooh sha sha we got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes, for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo

I am everyday people.....

Blue Highway - Someday

Ohhhhh....what a song! Love it so much!

RYLAN WESLEY LOVELACE

Rylan Wesley Lovelace made his appearance on July 3, 2017. We all thought he was going to be born in June, and Courtney wanted him to be born while David, Amy and Gideon were here on vacation, but the little stink took his own sweet time and got here when HE wanted to.

He is a beautiful baby. Not a lot of hair, but there is some, think it is going to be lighter colored. He looks just like his daddy too, seems to be a pattern with babies born in this family! 

I am a blessed woman to have all these grandbabies, and great grandbabies. Now I have 7 grandsons, 3 granddaughters, 3 great grandsons and 1 great granddaughter. WOW

Cumberland River-Dailey and Vincent

This Song that gets stuck in my head A LOT is "Cumberland River" by Dailey and Vincent.  LOVE their music! If it gets stuck in my head as it often does, I find myself playing it on youtube over and over until it goes away. Sometimes it just makes matters worse and it is stuck longer. I don't mind, because I LOVE the song. Now I also have another thing on my bucket list and that is to go see that beautiful, lazy, long long Cumberland River !!! (I don't really have a bucket list, but if I did, this would be on it!)Here it is for your listening pleasure...





HAHAHA....Just a side note. I need a hearing aid or two. I am not kidding. I have listened to this song over and over the past couple or so years and there is a line in the chorus that says "Shirley Mae's a'waitin', lonely as can be" and I misheard it as "Shirley Mae's a'waitin', bony as can be"...that lyric really bothered me. I thought, couldn't the songwriter think of anything else? I thought, wow, it is a hit the way it is, who am I to tell a songwriter what to write? 


Then I decided that the word was "bonny" instead of "bony" and that Dailey and Vincent didn't know the word "bonny" and so pronounced it "bony". I even asked my kids and other family members if they knew what "bonny" meant. A couple had a vague idea kinda what it meant, and some of the others didn't. I was convinced the word was "bonny" and they were mis-pronouncing it...what arrogance on my part. HAHAHAHA....well one night I was listening to it as usual and when it came to that line, I heard "lonely".....LONELY.....LONELY....LONELY....made complete sense. Sure enough, when I looked up the lyrics that was the word. Why didn't I look it up first? I forgot I could....maybe I need some jellyfish for my memory too...I should have known, I have misheard song lyrics all my life. Haven't told any of the kids yet...I might. hahaha

Courtney's Quilt

Okay, here I go again. 

I don't think I am a quilter. I don't honestly know if I enjoy it or not. Then again, I have only made 3 quilts if you count my lead blanket I made out of old jeans, and I certainly do count it! 

But, since I made Danielle a quilt and she liked it, I decided in my mind to make each grandchild a quilt, even if it takes me the rest of my life, which is entirely possible! HAHA

Courtney loves the colors of mint/aqua/turquoise type greens and gray, so that is what colors I will use in her quilt. She is like me and likes a floppy quilt so I will try to see if June will quilt it with a little less filling than Danielle's quilt. The one I tacked for my bedspread was made with filling from Walmart, and it is very floppy, so I may end up doing the quilting myself although I can't see anything but a mess there.

This will be interesting to see how it goes. I have cut out most of the pieces and sewn up 12 blocks so far. 

I am weird I guess but I don't like traditional quilt patterns. I like something more random. When I made Danielle's quilt I used  a pattern I saw on pinterest. It didn't look like any pattern I had seen, but I admit I don't know much about many quilt patterns.

I started Courtney's quilt with a random pattern in mind, but when I laid the blocks together I didn't care for the way it looked. Really kinda busy. So, I rearranged the blocks into a more traditional type pattern and they look 100% better! See now, sometimes traditional is better. 

I still only do squares, because they look hard to do, I have tried and made a mess of them, and I don't like to sew enough to learn how to do them well. And I doubt I ever venture into triangle pieces or applique, although I already lied, I appliqued some words onto Danielle's quilt...

Anyway, we will see what we will see when I get it done...
