DR John I am sorry about your older fig tree.

[Jane]

And your peach tree.

[Jane]

And your roses.

[Jane]

I remember slowly loosing our delicious marionberry bushes.

[Jane]

We slowly lost our pear tree to the bear.

[Jane]

DR Matthew I enjoyed reading about your show and glad you were able to figure out the mishap.

[Jane]

Matthew, vibes all works out and you can be on stage again.

[Jane]

From George:

Thanks, Iris.  They deserved it.

Congrats on the well deserved standing ovation.

On This Day in 1990, the largest dinosaur fossil was discovered.

American palaeontologist Sue Hendrickson found the fossilised remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex in the state of South Dakota. Sue, as the dinosaur are now informally called after its discoverer, is thought to have been 14 feet tall when alive.

Cool.

[Matthew]

Good Morning!  Well, I've texted the director of White Christmas and asked her if she still wanted to see me as I don't have a prepared monologue and I have several weeks of conflicts as well as a little conflict on the day of callbacks.  I realize these are all the things I hate to hear when I'm on the other side of the table, but I figured I might as well ask.  I'll also need to record the accompaniment for my song (it's allowed) as all I have is a lead sheet of something I actually have memorized - cuz I don't retain lyrics well.  So, we'll see.

[Jane]

Rest in Peace, Tom Jones.

Sad, but at 95 also very good.

[Jane]

I am pleased DR Chas survived The Music Man.  It sounds as if the evening was better than expected.

[Jane]

The Maui death total has hit 80.

 

[Jane]

DR singdaw, I'm not finding anything saying that Tom Jones has died. Where is this being reported?

[Jane]

The first time I searched I couldn't find anything saying he passed away.

[Jane]

DR singdaw, I'm not finding anything saying that Tom Jones has died. Where is this being announced?

I didn’t either. Found a hoax posting about sing Tom Jones dying, but again it was a hoax.

I found those as well

Saturday here in Jobnston USED TO BE fun, however.  It was the day of connecting with everyone you could not connect with during the week.  Loads of your friends would meet up at the Pool Hall on the square in Edgefield and have hamburgers, hot dogs, fries and tea or sodas for lunch.  On the way home, you might stop for a few fresh veggies at Cook's Produce about three miles outside of town.

People still gather at the Pool Hall.  That never stopped even during the pandemic.  Difference then was that they put in a window allowing folks to stand outside and order.  They had umbrellas to stand under and chairs to sit in while you waited for your food.  If the weather permitted, you could sit and eat outdoors.

But for me, the memories are all muddled by the passing of so many folks I knew by name who were friends of my mom and my Aunt Doris. 

And the people I do know don't go there on Saturdays at lunch anymore.

Happily, I am free to do my shopping during the week, so I can avoid the crush of people out and about doing their chores on Saturday.

Sweet memories.

[Jane]

Thunder and lightning and rain all morning.....but at last at 10 a.m. the rain has stopped and the sun is trying to break through.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

I just got over a case of Covid even though I’ve had five boosters over the years and had it once. So much for natural immunity

To possibly get natural immunity I think more people needed to be vaccinated early on before it mutated. 

It seemed like it was going to be something that stayed with us, like the flu.

Broadway World obit for Tom Jones

Oops, I just noticed that DR Jane has already posted this.
Sorry about that.

[DR Iris]

What will it be this morning, DR Ron Pulliam? A muffin or a sausage biscuit?

*************
And perhaps a sticky bun?……or four?

[DR Iris]

VERY hot and humid today in Maryland.

I had started a garden of herbs from seed a month ago. It was doing so well….parsley, dill, chives, cilantro, mint….everything was growing, and the fresh herbs were delicious.

Today they are brown and crisp. Don’t think they can be salvaged, but will try.

[DR Iris]

Heartbroken over the disaster on Maui.

Paradise lost, at least for now.

I hope that the hotels on the island will be able to house those who lost their homes.

[DR Iris]

DR Chas, I love outdoor theater, but the mosquitoes here make it very unpleasant.

[DR Iris]

Have a lovely Saturday, everyone!
