Still To Rock No More

This was recorded  at Ripcord Studios in  Vancouver WA  also..... I wrote this song after my Dad passed away.  I got to thinking about how Mamas and Daddys were the hands that rock the cradle....As I got going, it slipped into just Mamas...You don't always have control over a song...Sometimes it takes off and does what it wants to do....After  I was through, I decided it was the way  it should be so I left it.  People say that you should keep going over a song and try to change this or that... But sometimes you say what you have to say and that is that.......This is available on cdbaby.com  and iTunes  plus many other sites.  on cd In The Beginning vol 2.

Your Cheating Heart

One of my favorite songs so  did a cover of it...Recorded it at Ripcord  Studio in Vancouver, WA... Gene Breeden on lead guitar and on the boards.   Very interesting time of life...I am glad I had the opportunity to  take part in recording  at this point in history...

These  are two   bouquets   from the Davis Farm  booth at a local Farmers' Market..The top one was from Kristina to me  and the bottom one was from Sandra....The Davis Farm  flowers are always so beautiful......The vegetables too are great...

This is the Chicago Peace Rose..It is much more colorful than the older Peace Rose which is one of its parents..Also has nice fragrance.  I probably should have had a ruler by it to show its size... about seven inches across  guesstimating it.. All of the roses were really nice this year....Have been cutting them back because they seem to want to try to grow as tall as the roof line....  They must like where they are growing.

When the children were younger, I would make the dental appointments for after school.   That then, would put us  into  the going home traffic..  Even though I drove the posted speed, someone was always pushing me..  One day when I got home, I was so tired of the traffic that I sat down and wrote Tailgater.   So it exists thanks to all the impatient going home drivers............ 

Pineapple Slicer

Here is a picture of a pineapple slicer. I bought mine a few years ago at the grocery store in the produce department. Works great...When it stops at the bottom, take it out, take the handle off and slide the slices off into a dish. The core will still be attached in the middle of the rind or shell..One could put a drink in it or maybe use it for a gelatin mold (right away that is).
