More Lunchtime Topics

Accolades to Michele for taking time to give blogging reviews to Marilyn and me today. She also showed us her photos from her aquarium visit while in New Orleans in Jan. Marilyn and I were enthralled with the sea horses, rays, and Jellyfish! Great photos! (Deb)

Patriotic Eagle

Marilyn found this site at You Tube. Joanne, this is for you!!!!!!

Blog Lunch

Hi gang,
Deb A, Marilyn A, and I are at Heavenly Cup and we are demonstrating how to upload to the blog. Marilyn says this site on whooping cranes is really interesting. You can follow what happens daily with the research team that is studying and traveling with the birds.

Alice, we didn't think you'd mind this picture with you in it... Now you're going to have to start publishing here!!!!!

This is a video made by my daughter Nakisha from some of her LWR (little white rabbit) paintings. If you like to see more of her work go to her Nakisha.com website. Enjoy!

Beat Boxing- Flute

Most of you have heard me play the flute. Thought you might enjoy hearing Greg Pattillo do beat boxing on the flute.. This is a short piece and fun to listen to!

Michele suggested I post a picture of Holland. My brother in law send me this one. This kind of winter doesn't happen very often , a winter when everyone can put on skates and enjoying the frozen lakes and canals. This brought back enjoyable memories.

OLD PEOPLE - Homework!

Had lunch at Tanino's today with a total of 11 rather rambunctious retirees! It's a good thing they put us off by ourselves; it wasn't exactly calm and quiet at our table. Joanne says the seniors in town would like us to come sing (and maybe bring along that flute player) one day when they have lunch in town!! Obviously they've never heard us sing, but we're just crazy enough to maybe put something together for them!!! Joe, Lauren, Jim... are you out there??? Probably plugging your ears right now!!! Of course we'll need Janice to lead us.... and of course we could tap dance???? (This paragraph gets scarier by the moment!!!) Kind of brings back memories of the old days, doesn't it folks!??? Karen and Roberta, we'll let you sing solos if you want!!!:)

At this lunch, we decided that we don't want to hear the phrase, "OLD PEOPLE," so I challenge you all to leave suggestions for words or phrases that can be used in place of the term, "OLD PEOPLE." That my friends, is your homework for today!!!!! We'll be checking the comment section!!!! I know how much retired teachers like homework!!!

Flute Stuff

Some of you may be interested... I'm playing this Sunday, 2/15/09 at the Baptist Church in downtown Painted Post! It's for the regular Sunday service... I'll play before and during the service.

Does anyone recognize this?

This is the view near a retiree's house! I think it's beautiful.
Anyone recognize it?

How Should We Use This Blog?

How do you think we should use this web site! I can see many possibilities. I'm going to list some of my ideas here.
Please leave some comments here about how you feel this should/can be used.

(After you comment, you'll need to choose an ID... Use your google account which is your gmail ID. Then hit "Publish"
(You don't need to sign up as a Contributer to the Blog to do this.)
SO.. Here It Goes

IDEAS TO GET STARTED:
-Share a photo (or slide show) of travels from your retirement years
-Share notices of upcoming bus trips etc.
-Share news articles of interest (Health, travel... anything..)
-Share concerts and events going on
-Share births of new grandchildren
-Post a review of a book you've read
-Post a review of a movie you've seen
-Start a book discussion here and read a book together!
-Share photos of pets ( I could even put up a questionaire and people could vote on their favorite pet photo)
-Share poems
-Share photography
- Share photos of quilts, gardens, or crafts we are working on..
-Share a few things that are going on in your lives!

To make this work well, we'll have to post often enough that people are interested and keep coming back to this site to read the posts. It would need to be something of a group effort so the pressure doesn't fall on one or two people.

Maybe you're not all that interested in doing this...
Leave your comments and let us know how to proceed!

I'll even come out to your house and help you get started if that's an issue!

Namaste!!
