(Chorus:)

I don't need your rockin' chair

Your Geritol or your Medicare

Well I still got Neon in my veins

This grey hair don't mean a thing

I do my rockin' on the stage

You can't put this possum in a cage

My body's old but it ain't impaired

Well I don't need your rockin' chair

As I walked towards the flea market vendors, I noticed this rocking chair, turned away from the vendor who was selling it, sitting out a ways from the other items on sale. It looked so lonely & lost.

Took a short trip down to Manchester Vermont to hobnob with the upper class and stopped at the beautiful Equinox hotel. Even though Chico put on a tie, he wasn't allowed to have a Mimosa with the other guests on the veranda, but he did relax for a while on one of the rocking chairs.

Another great day out up at the Ironworkers Cottages in Blaenavon, Torfaen.

Many thanks to the lovely, very pleasant, and helpful staff at the museum, and also to Jeff D. for the lift once again ...

After our camping trip to Payson Lakes, we stopped for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel store and restaurant in Springville, Utah. Outside the store there is a porch filled with rocking chairs for sale and you are welcome to sit and rock as you wait for a table. This shot shows Joshua with his cousin's Clara and Ben rocking away. I was lucky enough to catch them all at slightly different angles. First time at the Cracker Barrel. Good food and fun chairs.

Day 26 of 2010

I had so much fun doing my pictures today. I liked this one but have more that I will have to post.

Mister Bear (a Dan Dee 100th Anniversary teddy bear) serves as a greeter and tour guide in a vacation rental cabin.

Mister Bear is a "dump rescue" bear, found, perhaps appropriately, as bears are known to frequent such places, in a rubbish dumpster six or seven years ago.

Being a 100th Anniversary Teddy Bear, Mister Bear dates to around 2002, which makes him 21 years old now! Let the par-tay commence! He was found and adopted in Hatch, Utah.

Mister Bear's hat was purchased at a sporting goods store in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1982.

Mister Bear's rocking chair was given as a gift to my grandmother when she was three months old... which would have been in October 1912, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

So there ya go: over 110 years of history right there -- and all from years ending in "2." Weird, huh?

18 July - A Doll A Day 2023

I was privileged to take pictures of this adorable little girl today and I couldn't resist using her as my 365 for today! She's only one, but she's got the personality of an adult:)

With the TV signal still being jammed in his quarters, the lights stuck on dim and his furniture missing, all thanks to one of Fett's payback pranks, Stormtrooper Bruce is thankful he’s able to enjoy a few simple pleasures in the secret room he discovered hidden behind his quarters.

With no cable signal to watch TV, the guys have cancelled movie night, refusing to watch movies on his teeny tiny laptop. And although he’ll never admit it, he totally agrees with them.

So until Fett returns to the ship, it's coffee made the old fashioned way, re-reading some classics from the DS library, laptop games, and sleeping on the floor. All in all, it could be worse.

Best relaxing tool!

12/52: Favorite things

This is my favorite corner of my room. I don't spend a lot of time at home, so when I'm there, I try and spend about as much of my time as possible sitting in my rocking chair and knitting (I'm a grandma, I know...). This is the best time of year for it because the tree has no leaves, so my room gets full sun from about noon until the sun goes down.

I've developed a slight obsession with knitting, since it's a very portable thing to take on tour. It's also really cool to collect yarn from around the world. The project I'm currently working on is a lace shawl made from an alpaca/silk blend I bought in Utah. I recently finished the sweater I'm wearing in the photo (made with yarn I bought in New York), and the socks (which I was wearing by coincidence!) are the first pair I ever made, and made of wool from Austria.

And on Sunday, I'll be off to collect some yarn from Chile! :)
