Hello, how are you doing today? I’m happy you came for a visit. This morning, I’m starting off with a musical contribution for Throwback Thursday with Mary at JingleJangleJungle. At YouTube last week I stumbled on a new Huey Lewis recording Pretty Girls Everywhere, (Eugene Church 1958). I recognized Lewis’ cover song but after listening to the original I knew it wasn’t that version I remember. I believe, all though I’m not 100% sure, it’s the 1965 Walker Brothers’ release that I remember. Whether you remember the original or any one of the handful of artists who covered the song up until the late 80s, listen to my throwback pick with the Walker Brothers!
You might be wondering about my blog title. So, what does bongo playing, running, and swinging have in common? Today’s art prompt. Both running and swinging illustrates motion and movement. I really wanted to draw something new but I found with limited time it was best to share with you illustrations from my archives or those that’s been waiting for colorization. Here’s my examples for this week’s theme.
This week I’m suffering with time crunch syndrome. I had ENT appointment on Monday and then on Tuesday quite by accident DH learned he was not scheduled for Thursday for his dental appointment when he called to see if he could reschedule it for Wednesday. It caused a brief period of chaos as we pinned down the best time slot. Plus, I’m super busy with my drawings for next month’s A to Z Challenge. I committed myself to keep my normal blogging regimen going despite the blog fest prep and I’ll do my best to live up to my promise. I just wished I sketched something new for today, though. Oh well…at least I have something to share.
For Thankful Thursday , I am happy to learn my mother’s ulcer is healed. Last year she dealt with a lot of health problems. I’m not sure it’s all related to the ulcer but it certainly may contributed to the terrible bout of intestinal infections she had a hard time getting rid of. I’m thankful my baby sister is finally seeing the doctor for a number of medical issues. I’ve been after her for years to get things checked out but she’s stubborn like my daddy. Living means enjoying ones’ life and you can’t do that if you don’t have good health. If something is bothering you and it’s not going away on its own then you need to see someone who might be able to soothe what ails you. I’m thankful my ENT visit went well. My doctor says everything looks good with the ear with the tube and my other ear hasn’t changed much but I go again in four months for continued follow-ups to monitor this. There’s the danger of the remaining tube disintegrating which might allow bacteria to grow on it and causing fluid to be a problem. He said it would be very obvious if it happened. July will make four years so it’ll be interesting to see what developments come out of that appointment. For these blessings and more I’m forever grateful for God’s goodness. What are you thankful for today?
I ran short on time to come up with something creative for Kat’s Writing Workshop. Perhaps I can join in next week. We’ll see but for now I’m heading over to Rain’s Garden to browse through the gallery of artistry. You’re welcome to follow along. Tomorrow is DH’s off Friday. Join me on the dance floor with Monday’s Music Moves as celebrate Marie’s mama’s birthday. Have a doodletastic day! X💋X💋, Cathy
