Ceeboo, my friend.

I want you to know that you have derailed my entire afternoon! :wink:

I've been hunting down and listening to John Denver songs on Youtube for more time then I have to spend. They were all playing in my late adolescence and early adulthood.

Each one has a memory attached. Especially "Annie's Song". I was seriously dating a girl called Annie when that was playing. It was "our" song. It brings back vivid memories that I can't describe here. It's a little disheartening to think that she is probably a grandmother now.

Thanks Ceeboo! :biggrin:

That is so funny because I was doing exactly the same thing all afternoon! (I am dead serious) And because of this John Denver walk down memory lane, I failed to do the three proposals that I surely should have done! :lol:

Although I never dated anyone named Annie (I did date a nice fellow named Arthur, though! :razz: ) my memories were exploding with each JD tune.

All in all, a FABULOUS afternoon that was filled with fond memories, lots of smiles and foot taps!
(Didn't make much money though!)

Thanks Ceeboo! :biggrin:


You're most welcome, friend!
(Stay tuned, tomorrow I'm going Mo-Town on ya!)

Thank you as well!

I'm looking forward to it!

You should track down Arthur and see how he is doing. :lol:

Have you ever seen the movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"? From what I know of you, you would love it.

I second your suggestion and agree Ceeboo would love it. I thought it was enchanting. I have been on a Bollywood kick for months now and have become fascinated with India, especially with the women's exquisite clothing and dancing. I soooo want my life to be like Judi Densch's character.

I've never been to India, but my father spent many years there and I grew up with his stories. He said he hated it for the first two weeks and loved it for the rest of his life. I would love to go. Maybe I can work that out in my retirement.

The movie has many of my favorite actors. Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Penelope Wilton and of course Tom Wilkinson, who I believe is the best actor alive. Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) doing a spectacular job as the hotel owner.

A sweet and gentle movie.

Hah! :biggrin:

I'm not sure he would even remember me. It was many moons ago....Late December back in 63....Ohhh what a night!

Truth be told, although it ended much too soon, it was a very special time for me!

Well, here!
This will explain it better than I ever could with mere typed words! :smile:

I have not seen it!

But because of your suggestion (as well as a second by Elph), I will do just that!

Motorcycles, bolt action rifles strapped to our backs, and never ending deciduous forests. There's something peaceful about being able to retreat to the woods and really be alone.

The song is even prettier when my dog howls it for me.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
