Hi Bobby, Yep grooviness is hitting my house at last . I feel sooo happy feeling well, I seem to have been ill with one thing after another for months! Long may it continue!!
Personally, I blame the Ice Age for messing up my social life with my friends in London, it was so much easier when you guys were walking distance from Massachusetts, yaknow? Stupid continents; stupid ocean! I'm working on a bridge, you start from your end, ok? I also have a backup plan to train two sea turtles like waterskis... or maybe dolphins? Your thoughts? K

Canada is enormous..a lot to travel. I was born in the West, but I am an East Coast kind of girl. I would love to travel again and would love to see Alaska, my birth state. I could travel through Canada. I have fond memories. The Army is like a life of gypsies. Travel all over...:)
Thanks Bobby for your blog comment..not a lot of people remember that tune..i could never forget it as it was played all the time in the house by my mother hahaha lol everytime it stopped she would put the needle back on the record I love it though..not to fond of the video haha lol ..now i know where i get it from when it comes to repetitive playing hahaha lol
If you love water, you would love Uncle Sam's boat tour in Alexandria Bay. We ride down the river. Canada is just a paddle away. The history of Alex Bay is plentiful, but my favorite is Boldt Castle. A man began to build it for his wife and when she passed away, he stopped. It is incomplete. The historical society is preserving and completing the castle, upon donations. I am a history nut.
