Today is my Sweet Babboo's birthday. He's a year older now than he was yesterday. Wow! That's a lot of years. But not as many as there will be.
This one's for him.
One of his favorite songs by one of his favorite singers in a video I don't believe he has ever seen.
We've got plans for later on tonight, but for right now, let this post kick things off.
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!
I LOVE YOU!

Monday Rambles
It would seem that I have not yet adjusted to my new schedule, even after a couple of weeks. I promise that I will get into the groove of doing more than an abbreviated Monday Rambles soon!
In the meantime, here are some highlights:
Saturday was Keith's birthday. To celebrate, we went camping. Passed two church rummage sales that I could only wave at, because we had no room in the car for anything. Sigh! We had a good time, though. It was a little on the cool side, but relaxing. We actually had to chase wildlife out of the tent, which was a first for me. A field mouse and a chipmunk both decided that they fancied our digs.
Saturday was also the kick-off to the Derby festival, which means that were are now in the two weeks of madness where everyone would rather do all kinds of activities instead of buying secondhand junk. I ask you, where are people's priorities these days??
I'm going to finish out the month okay at Peddlers Mall--which means rent was made a while ago, and I'll get something over that. Not a spectacular record-breaking month, but I'll make some money and that's okay by me. Still working on the rent at the other place. It's been a long slow climb there. I've never been this close to the end of a month without rent made. It's freaking me the hell out.
I'm needing to score some cheap comics in a hurry. I've about sold through my stock and they keep selling. The hunt is on!
Last week, I got into a grabbing match with another dealer at Goodwill. They had this rack of vintage salt and pepper shakers and planters for a buck or less. I was there first checking them out, when he just pops up and starts grabbing everything in sight. Having no choice, I started grabbing too. I prefer to conduct myself in a slightly more genteel fashion, but he started it!!! I checked out right behind him, too. It's a good thing I did, because I could tell that I got all the best ones.
And, another week has begun. I'll work on getting some more up here soon.

Happy Birthday Keith!
Tomorrow is Keith's birthday, so I'll be taking the blog-day off. I thought I'd give him some early presents here. There's a wee bit of irony at play here, since he doesn't like it when I do video posts. In fact, he usually ignores them. Hopefully, there's something here that will get his attentnion.
First up, some older clips from one of his favorite singer/songwriters, John Prine. I totally love seeing long-haired, shaggy John! Of course, all of these videos are way pre-cancer surgery. His voice sounds completely different these days.
This song is one of my favorites. It pretty much sums up everything that makes Prine a true musical treasure.
And, this one is just fun!
To wrap the Prine section up, I thought this one would be appropriate. Back when our beloved Basil was still with us, Keith used to pick her up and dance with her with this one would play. He was the big old goofy man and she was the big, old goofy girl. Still makes tear up thinking about it. But, it kind of sums up everything I love about him.
This is Verlon Thompson doing a live take on one of his songs. I don't think Keith has heard this song before, but I know he's going to love it. Thompson may be better known to folks as Guy Clark's guitarist, but he's a fine songwriter in his own right.
Kris Kristofferson. 'Nuff said. Oh yeah, and Johnny Cash too. What more do you need?
Nanci Griffith doing Townes Van Zandt:
And finally, the one song this one sums up my feelings pretty well, performed by John Prine and Emmylou Harris. (You knew I'd work her in here somehow, didn't you?) It's their version of a Guy Clark classic.
The other night, Keith told me that he'd taken a liking to me. After nearly twenty years, that's kind of nice to know. Happy Birthday, Keith! I've taken a liking to you too!
