All Night Long

The other day my mom calls and asks me who sings the song "All Night Long."
 I said, "Lionel Richie." Then I quote her the lyrics.
     She tells me, "NO,no,no! I don't think that's the song I mean." 
     I said, "Go ahead, ask this person & that person. I know I'm right."

Five minutes later she calls me again.
 I answer,"Did you question the master?"
She says, "It isn't that song by Lionel Richie. Maybe it's by Bad Company or Foreigner?"

"Mom, how does the song go?"
" I don't wanna sing in front of everybody. Now, I'm all embarrassed, well, okay.'All Night Long' something in the parking lot."

You Shook Me All Night Long video

"Let me look up lyrics on the computer, give me a minute. Do you mean, You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC? That's that same kind of classic rock genre."
"Does it say something about the parking lot?" 
"I don't think so."
Then she says ,"The song goes, "All Right Now."

"All  Right Now?!! That's Free! All Right Now is NOT the same as All Night Long! I didn't have to get on the computer to tell you that, I'm sure."
"Who did you say it was?"
"Free."
"Free?"
"Free! F- R- E -E. Ma, let me play the video. Is that it?"
"I can't hear it."
"Can you hear it now?"
"Yes. Yep, that's the song!"
      "But Mom, parking lot and parking gate are NOT the same thing either. Geez! Love you, bye."




All Right Now lyrics


Whoa whoa whoa
there she stood in the street, smiling from her head to her feet.
I said hey what is this now baby maybe maybe shes in need of a kiss.
i said a hey whats ur name baby. maybe we can see things the same.
now dont you worry or hesitate lets move before they raise the parking gate

All right now, baby its a all right now
all right now, baby its a all right now.

Let me tell you all about it now
i took her home to my place
watching every move on her face
she said look whats your name baby are you trying to put me in shame
i said sloow dont go so fast
dont you think our love could last.
she said love, lord above, now you try to trick me in love
all right now
baby its a all right
all right now
baby baby baby its all right
all right now
its all right its all right its all right
yeah, were so happy together
its all right its all right its all right
everythings all right

easter in the olden days

 This is what I did for Sarah's grow project 4
 "craft a memory from your youth." 



Easter just passed. My family jokes about how I remember being in the womb. I don't. But, I do remember playing with this blow up, (that sounds dirty), plastic, huge, girly rabbit. How else would I know it was a rabbit? It's the only photo from that time.You can't see the ears in the photo. How else would I know the girly rabbit is holding a white Easter egg, decorated with blue or green designs?

 No one wrote on the back of the photo either. All it had was a stamp, from the photo lab. The stamp said it was developed in June. My mom wasn't in a big hurry about things like that. I don't think that rabbit lasted long. I'm sure I sat on it, or hit someone with it. Then it was bye-bye rabbit. What I don't know is where it came from, nor who gave it to me?

everybody's fine

I absolutely love this movie!
Mom do you hear me? It's worth watching.

 I like the song too.
Mom, I know you love Paul McCartney.
 I think you'll like this song.

hand-painted accessories


Yesterday I was looking at Sea of Shoes. One of the shoes she showed, reminded me of hand-painted accessories.



My purse I hand-painted about 4 years ago, that many of you have seen, a million times before. 


My shoes I hand-painted a few weeks ago.
I don't think they're done yet, but I'm still wearing them.
I only painted the soles. The graphics came on the shoes when I bought them.

Doesn't it make you just want to go to the thrift store, and buy some accessories to paint?

one cafe, one shop

   We were there two years  before, but this time, I took some little photo details.




Right next door to Hester's is a shop called Bleu Frog.
 They have the cutest displays of collections, and things.















There was a lady walking through the store wearing a dress made out of gorgeous fabric. I spoke that her dress was beautiful, like a work of art. To me, it looked like a painting.
