Jimmy Buffett Review

June is almost here.  I thought May was a little busy.  However, June is shaping up to be even busier with a few long weekends for business meetings and niece Danielle's high school graduation - which will find us in the central coast.  Last week was Jimmy Buffett and my feathers were not flying but they were in a happy spot.  Just want to share a couple of photos of the absolute childish times that are had and seen at  the parking lot tail gate parties. The top photo with the man (I think it is a man - the beard might be real) in decorated coconuts - I have no clue who this guy is or his name - NOTHING.  I was just fascinated by his coconuts and just wanted to take his picture - and now here he is getting blog love on the Hyland's Island Blog.  Hubby was also fascinated by many coconuts but they were usually on the women.  #2 Old neighborhood friend Bob Render, me drinking tea (sure) and Rich having some fun and the bottom picture is me and our friend of a very long time Betsy.  

DISCLAIMER... If some of you have an odd phone message from last Thursday (Julie C) and a few others... it was Jimmy calling you and leaving a message of music that you could barely understand not ME. Not sure who else Rich and I dialed while swaying in the isles and listening to music.   

A few Lyrics to one of my favorite profound songs.  See if you can find it and actually here Jimmy singing it.  

Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
(Jimmy Buffett/Matt Betton)

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man
Floating down Canal
It doesn’t use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe in breathe out move on

And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
We’ve seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Pontchartrain 
Leaking through the door
Tides at war

If a hurricane doesn’t leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don’t try to explain just nod your head
Breathe in breathe out move on

And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
We’ve seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Ponchartrain 
Buried the Ninth Ward 
To the second floor

According to my watch the time is now
The past is dead and gone
Don’t try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe in breathe out move on
Don’t try to explain it just bow your head
Breathe in breathe out move on

He didn't sing this at the concert but it a personal favorite... Have a great day and just breath in breath out move on.

Is this in some way WRONG

Tell me is this in some way just the wrong thing to say at the wrong time.... 

At Trader Joe's today - - you know how they always have some little sample for you to taste in the back. Today's sample was their HOT DOG with 2 mustard's... So I pick up my little sample plate take a bite and one Traders clerk says something to the other Trader clerk who is serving up the Hot Dog sample.... "ewe  that makes me want to vomit in my mouth",  she says very loudly you guessed it right when I am ready to swallow my HOT DOG sample... Do you think maybe if you are serving food samples you shouldn't be talking about VOMIT out loud for all the customers to here!  I must have been 30 feet away from her.  How do you teach someone timing?  

I am actually laughing about it. A SNL writer could not have scripted the timing any better.  I was looking for the camera...

Off to dinner with friends tonight at Newport Landing in Newport Beach.  The weather is here and it is beautiful. Had a delightful morning with Cheryl at GlitterFest and seeing my friend Robin.  She just gets more talented with each day.

Mail is here better go see if my Lottery check came today.  Now that is funny!  Aloha God Bless and have a good weekend.

PROMOTED

I got promoted.   This is the front of the card I got from Meghan for Mothers Day.  FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW. Yes, I cried.  If she were healthy we'd be planning a wedding - maybe I would already be her mother in law.  The other card is a card from my Michael.  He finally called me to. It had been a month.   Thank goodness for mothers day or I would still be waiting for a call. 

Like a cock roach my cell phone came back to life except it has no display.  Very scary that I could throw it so hard have it make a terrible noise and a few days later it is breathing again.  No ticket in the mail yet but, I keep running to the mail box anxiously waiting.  Maybe I will chop down the mail box! 

We had a good week here at the Island and I am still recovering from that FABULOUS scrapbook weekend last weekend .... REFLECTIONS.  Now I have 6 projects to complete.  I hope I get to do it again next year.  

Mothers day was very low key and besides being MD... It was GRACIE'S 5th birthday.  She got extra lovin, and chicken in her food a swim in the spa and a car ride.  Oh to be 5!  One of the projects at Reflections was to make this really embellished Birthday Party Hat (mine is 10% done) and my scrappy friends and I joke about it and I keep threatening my friend Lia that I am going to finish the hat and she MUST wear it for her birthday in June! Of course this is no way on Gods little green earth going to happen!  So Lia this picture is for you.  Even Gracie had issues with the hat....
Love to all... See you over on FACE BOOK. 

I killed the Cell phone

Okay I am some what calming down but not much.  I am still 5 hours later -  so mad at that Irvine motorcycle cop that gave me a cell phone TICKET. He called me a good sport.  What the blazes does that mean. Does he call his wife a good sport too - is that some sort of endearment? You know I could have been putting on makeup, shaving my arm pits and hanging my bra out the window to dry and I would not have gotten a ticket.   But answer the phone while stopped at my home stop sign where the cop is hiding in the shade and let him see you answer the phone - make your left hand turn and it is a red and blue light show in your rear view mirror.  I am frosted and MAD... he did not have to give me a ticket... But being the good sport that I am I guess he figured what the heck - she looks like a good sport and  now I can go eat lunch.   I pulled 30 seconds later into my garage and felt so much frustration that I threw my cell phone on the ground and needless to say it is not working.  So I killed the cell phone.  The fact is, I still have a nice pink ticket in my purse which is going to cost some money.  

If your asking why does she not have a blue tooth... I do.  Since I was 3 blocks and about 1 minute from home I had just finished walking Grace down by the freeway and I did not turn all my equipment (bluetooth) on to go the  3 blocks.  The phone rings it is Rich, he has a report from his doctor visit .... went like this pull up to stop sign - STOP - ring - pick up phone - make turn ... light show and a pink slip!  Oh happy Day...
