Saturday 9



Hosted by Sam!


Saturday 9: Secret Valentine (2008)

In honor of Valentine's Day. Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) The lyrics talk about a song that's so romantic it "turns out the lights." Are the lights on in the room you're in right now?Well, it is 2 in the afternoon, so not really, but, I do have an under the counter light on so I can see to  do this post!

2) In the video, our heroine's Valentine's Day adventure begins with a note slipped into her pocket. What's in your pocket right now?I do not have any pockets  at this time..  earlier, when I went to  my physical therapy I had my car keys and phone in my pockets.

3) This week's band, We the Kings, are proud sons of the state of Florida. Bradenton, to be exact. They even called one of their CDs Sunshine State of Mind. Have you ever been to Florida? If so, where have you visited? We honeymooned in Daytona Beach,  and Kisseemee.  Later when  Amanda was four she was the flower girl in her cousin's wedding in Fort Lauderdale!

4) Lead singer Travis Clark has a pierced lip but doesn't always wear a lip ring. Do you have any piercings? If yes, are you wearing jewelry in your piercing(s) right now?
I do have pierced ears, but only wear  earrings when going out!

5) The band's name comes from a cheer they did when they attended Martha B. King High School. Have you attended your high school reunion?  Yes, we did the 10 year reunion and just did the 50 year reunion!  It was  the best fun of all!

6) Hearts are the symbol of Valentine's Day, so here's a little heart trivia: whales have largest heart of any animal. When we say a person is "big hearted," it means we think of them as generous. Think about the people in your life. Who would you describe as big hearted?  My prayer Sista's  are all very  big hearted and caring...and I must add that the new church we are going to...  all of the people are  extremely caring.. The benefit of going to a smaller church!   I LOVE it so much!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

7) It's estimated that 9 million people buy Valentine's Day presents for their dogs and cats. Have you ever purchased a holiday gift for a pet?  Way back when I was a teenger and  my boy friend gave me a white  kitten.  I bought gifts for that  kittie!!!

8) Valentines to teachers are also big sellers. Did you ever have a crush on one of your instructors? Not  really.  I did  really like my science prof  in college..  He was  so congenial and made class fun so I took about  4 classes  of his...Dr. Meade!

9) With the popularity of e-cards, fewer Valentine messages are sent via the USPS. What's the most recent thing you dropped into a mailbox? I sent out  8 Valentines with  special notes to  wonderful big hearted friends who had brought us food or  had done special things for us  during my illness! We, also, sent a large mailer  envelop with  gifts for our grands  for Valentine's.. We just did facetime,  but it hadn't arrived yet today!  I do hope  it comes in today's mail!

    1. Yes we're race fans... When we dAted we'd driVe to Bristol and Martinslville on Sunday for races.. HUbs had done other races back in the 60's with his brother and friends... In 1972 we married the weekend of the Atlanta 500 so we drove to Atlanta following our wedding, and when we got there, they knew we were honeymooners so they upped our seats to right aross fROm Richard Petty's pit crew.. about 3/4 the way up. We had champagne and the cake topper and some reception food in our hamper.. It was great!!! After we had toured Atlanta we decied to go on to Florida. neither of us had been before.. so we stayed in Daytona. not realizing it was Spring break...We got the last room on the strand. It was so cool to get to drive on the beach! We drove over to the track just to check it out.. 2 and half mile track. quite impressive! SInce then we have also seen the Charlotte track and the Rockingham, but we don't go to races.. too hot, and uncomfy when we can watch it in comfort! But Hubs is watching some now.. A big weekend!!!

  3. I would love to be able to see our grand daughters experience the Magic Kingdom, but whoa, what a daunting prospect. Hopefully, things will go well this summer. Our daughters’s family is taking us to Ireland.. a driving tour. I will see the grands experience a real castle. We’ll take our imaginations!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
