A New Project!

Hi, all;

This is a short blog due in small part to the time it took to work out how to make a movie!  That's right!  I said a movie!  I was thinking to myself, and I said, "Self?  Shouldn't there be a way that I can take several videos and splice them together into one movie"?  Self found out how to do that through my Kodak software! And the stars?  Back by not so popular demand are, that's right, MY SQUIRRELS!  Now, I would be amiss if I didn't give credit where credit is due!  I knew what tune I wanted to use on my movie but just couldn't figure out what it was so I could locate it on the computer and download it!  So, I taped my rendition of the tune on my iPhone Voice Memos app and sent it to my friend Bill!  An attachment of this rendition is on your Blog email notification!  It's there for your listening displeasure and to totally embarrass myself!  I had to attach that (couldn't do that on this blog) so you can see for yourself what a Wizard of Music Bill truly is!  With what I sent him, he found quickly that it is Sabre Dance, and he texted the name to me.  He is absolutely amazing!  And, no, he is not paying me anything to say that! 

Bill the Wizard of Music:

I hope you will enjoy the movie! 

Peace and blessings!

Hello, again, friends and family;

I hope you will enjoy this weeks updates to my blog.  You will find info, pictures and videos of the antics in my backyard!  I hope you do not tire of this!  I love to look out the back door and find something new going on back there!

First and foremost, congratulations to New York Giants fans for their Super Bowl win!  Unfortunately, my Pittsburgh Steelers didn't make it this year!  And though I agree with the baby below, it sure was a good game.  Carol and I enjoyed spending the evening with our wonderful friends, Bill and Vicki!  Great chili from Vicki, wonderful snacks, some vegetable pizza we provided and plenty of soda/tea, well Vicki and I had a beer (thank you, Vicki) and a great game made for a stupendous time even if Carol was rooting for the Patriots!

Something new I'd like to share with you especially if you like reading!  My friend, Bill had asked me to find some books on amazon.com! I actually found another website that, if you don't care that the books are not brand new, is often much cheaper!  Vendors sell through this website, they detail the condition of the particular book and some even offer free shipping!  I ordered 8 books through them and every book was in great condition and the prices couldn't be beat!  I got all 8 of these books for just under $30 which averages out to about $3.75 each and several of them were hardcover!  If you're interested, the web page address is abebooks.com!

And finally if you made a New Year's resolution to stay away from cookies, you will surely enjoy this youtube video, my sweet friends Carol and Chuck sent me a few weeks ago!  If nothing else, it will bring a good laugh!  If it doesn't, you might want to have your laugh gauge checked out!

Well, blessings for this week and if you're having a rough week here are lyrics from the band Florence + The Machine!  "It's hard to dance with the devil on your back.....so shake it out!"  Love to all, Dee/Di/Diana
