<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">tomorrow is our 26th wedding anniversary...wow...quite an accomplishment..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">to be frank we had a it of a bloodletting tonight...probably better to get it out of the way for tomorrow. after 26 years....some stuff has to be said....we did..I believe we are better for it..we shall see</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I posted that I lost my voice....but I haven't really.. I post regularly on Facebook...I like the short synopsis of a thought or feeling...however it really doesn't give me the-satisfaction of a blog post.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ahhhhhhh the freedom....I want to thank those of you who by some happen chance came upon my latest blog entry...I am humbled that you even saw/read it</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">took the time to comment after all this time...you are amazing people and I love you</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'd (sadly) forgotten how much your feedback means to me...and frankly what you mean to me....I'm sorry...and thank you from the bottom of my heart</span><br />

END THE WAR........the cry was from the peace niks...the Christians, the liberals and the hippies...the cry of peace and love. It came from my parents and their friends who belonged to the Unitarian Church in Montclair NJ...Some of those folks were former Jews who...were survivors of concentration camps who still bared the tatoos of the camps...some were former Catholics..who lost their way with all the rules and regulations..and some ...from the Unitarian church who taught us that all peope were equal, no matter what their faith, their color or their creed...we learned about everyone...but mostly we learned about peace..and love....<br />
<br />
.One of my fondest memories was from the late 60's...my Dad..a former Catholic...and a Sunday school teacher as well as a member of the church board, proposed that the church might sing as one of the hymns...the Burt Bacarach/Dionne Warwick hit...What The World Needs Now..is Love Sweet Love..his words were..."this is what its about now..." truer words were never spoken..and they still ring true today...we sang it..and I have never forgotten that Sunday in Church..I thought we were probably the coolest church in town....I think we were...<br />
<br />
I'm weary of debating where the world should be today..the laws..the rights...I feel we have lost out way..its really quite simple...<br />
<br />
its about love..it always has been..and if we can get back there..then we will be ok....I love youleeleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17659647396847327564noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21876673.post-69607568171809671852013-03-21T19:49:00.003-04:002013-03-21T19:56:19.348-04:00AmazingPut a post out there after too much time and got a comment from one of my earliest blog friends...thanks you S for commenting HUGS my friend<br />
<br />
The sun is almost set here in So Fla...the weather is amazing and I am feeling pretty mellow. Had some wine.<br />

I was thrilled to see that m.y friend S commented and he is still some what active here...I've forgotten how cathartic this can be...feeling pretty happy about it on this mild south Florida evening.

I am reminded today of the start of the Iraq war 10 years ago and the conversations I had with fellow bloggers back then. And the on going banter that ensued. I am feeling nostalgic...god not for the war but. The connections I made here. I still have friendships with some. And some are gone. And lord knows I have changed..but if you are a blogger pal and you happen to read this...know that I still think about you all from time to time and I am fond of the memories that we shared in this medium....you all got me through some tough times...and I am happy today that life is good. I am good although older and I hope wiser.. Hoping all is well with you all in blogger land.

The calendar seems to be whizzing right thru..its almost the first day of spring. This is a mixed bag for me. In Florida we revel in the winter. The days are cool, humidity low, windows are open..its great for being outside..enjoying every blue, cloudless sky day.<br /><br />I don't mind early spring either. The tourists and snowbirds will be leaving around April 15th and we'll have a couple of months of quiet. The roads will be emptier, the restaurants available again and the beaches are less crowded and the weather is still pretty nice.<br /><br />Once June comes though...the rainy season will begin again. We are in a drought, so its needed, but with rain comes the humidity..and we can pretty much count on 100% humidity until Novemeber. We also start watching the eastward skies and weather. Hurricane watch will really ramp up in August. Hopefully we won't have anything to worry about this year.<br /><br />The brightest spot in this coming summer will be the arrival of our 8th, yes 8th grandchild in July. We are especially thrilled because my stepdaughter and son in law live about 25 minutes away. So I can really do the grandma thing more often and closer to home.<br /><br />Its been a great winter, I'm back full swing at the gym and loving it. My family is healthy and happy...Business is good...life is generally FABULOUS. I admit, blogger has taken a back seat to my Facebooking...(sort of like scrapbooking..but not). I just thought once again I would fill you in on my comings and goings...<br /><br />anyway...HUGS!!leeleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17659647396847327564noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21876673.post-32012847450729218152009-02-26T18:41:00.003-05:002009-02-26T18:50:26.342-05:00Kitchen Concerts - Bruce Springteen - Working On A Dream<div align="center"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS78vUUzJo"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Working On A Dream</span></strong></a></div><div align="center"> (click title to see the video)</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely</div><div align="center">I think of you and i'm working on a dream</div><div align="center">I'm working on a dream<br />Now the cards i've drawn's a rough hand, darling</div><div align="center">I straighten the back and i'm working on a dream</div><div align="center">I'm working on a dream<br />Come on!

Don't you love when you get the chance to start fresh? I do.<br /><br />I've been somewhat absent from the blog-o-sphere. Reading not commenting...falling behind in my correspondence and participation. All for good reason...I'm busy...Yes..actually busy! and the holidays pretty much drained me of conversation.<br /><br />Also business has picked up (some..not enough). Hubby and I are preparing for the one big show we do. <a href="http://www.dmgantiqueshows.com/ombas/intro.html">The Original Miami Beach Antique Show</a>..which will open Jan.22 We are hoping to make some good sales. Business is bad for everyone these days and the art market has taken a hit..but we shall persevere..we've been at this for many years.<br /><br />We've also been trying to get to the movies..I love going to the movies and there have been some good ones out there. See <a href="http://www.thegrantorino.com/">Gran Torino</a> and <a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/slumdogmillionaire/">Slumdog Millionaire</a> for starters..both excellent.<br /><br />I've also joined a gym again. I use to be a real gym rat...but for one reason or another I let that go..Oh I still walk and bike and keep active, but..I needed MORE.. so I've returned to the world of free weights, machines and elliptical trainers. I love it..and didn't realize how much I missed it. A couple of GF's and I signed up at <a href="http://www.anytimefitness.com/en-us">Anytime Fitness</a> and have enrolled in their "I lost it at the gym" competition. 8 weeks of classes, bootcamp and access to the gym...24/7. When we complete this..we're planning on a girls getaway to the Bahamas in early spring. Oh yeah I'm psyched.<br /><br />Well, that's more information than I have ever written here I think..just felt the need to keep you all updated...I'll be 'round to visit you all soon.<br /><br />As always HUGS!!leeleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17659647396847327564noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21876673.post-74706290231833357852008-12-30T14:47:00.002-05:002008-12-30T14:48:54.353-05:00Kitchen Concerts - Amos Lee - What's Been Going On<div style="text-align: center;">This is really very good.
