Here are this week’s questions:


1.  Do you drive, and can you remember your first car? I can’t drive anymore, my legs don’t work. The first car we had was a 1966 Mustang, still my favorite of all made.


2.  Have you ever ice skated? I grew up skating, our dad made a pond that froze over. We’d take turns testing the middle to see if it was hard enough.🙄


3.  What was your favourite sport at school? I am not an athlete. I love watching my kids and grands doing sports.


4.  What was the last movie you saw at the cinema? Seems like years and years, “Avengers Endgame”

Gratitude: Family is what makes me grateful to be alive.

It was a clear blue Saturday; bright, sunny and free of clouds. Ten year old shy Sue was thinking about how her mood was so good, no need to pretend, and not about being alone. No need to ponder in her mind about sad things. Skipping along the edge of her fence, content to just be happy today, she was smiling.

Seems an easy set but no☺️

Raised On Robbery

by Joni Mitchell

He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion 
He was thinking for himself 
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says let me sit down
You know, drinkin’ alone’s a shame
It’s a shame it’s a crying shame
Look at those jokers 
Glued to that damn hockey game 
Hey honey-you’ve got lots of cash 
Bring us round a bottle 
And we’ll have some laughs 
Gin’s what I’m drinking 
I was raised on robbery

I’m a pretty good cook 
Sitting on my groceries 
Come up to my kitchen
I’ll show you my best recipe 
I try and I try but I can’t save a cent
I’m up after midnight cooking
Trying to make my rent
I’m rough but I’m pleasin’ 
I was raised on robbery

We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
You should have seen it fly away 
First he bought a ’57 Biscayne *
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a bitch 
His blood’s bad whiskey 
I was raised on robbery 

You know you ain’t bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me honey
I ain’t asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going
Don’t go yet
Your glass ain’t empty and we just met
You’re mean when you’re loaded
I was raised on robbery

The Sunday Whirl

My lover dead, I have no remorse, never mourn him, and he’s lying in a grave for ghostly apparition folk up in the pines. His penance for the shadowy life he led is to be confined to the yard where only dastardly fragments of his miserable life can be remembered. Only on one night can the moon’s glimmer show over the graveyard, Halloween!
