Aww…some Monday

Winter returned to the Ozarks Tuesday. The temperatures dropped into the teens and snow fell Tuesday and most of Wednesday. We got about 4″-6″ at our house, but some locations exceeded 7″, and that is a lot of snow for this part of the country. Then the bottom fell out of the thermometer. Wednesday night the temperature dropped into single digits with windchills reaching -15/-20! By the time this is posted we should be climbing out of the deep freeze and headed toward more spring like temperatures to end February. Since I am looking forward to spring colors and the photo opportunities, I thought I would go through the archive and bring a little spring to Aww Monday.

The theme this week at 4M is FEVER…cabin or running one. Our recent Arctic blast would give anyone cabin fever and more than a few people have suffered through colds and flu. Cabin Fever gives you the urge to get outdoors and ramble down the road, so that’s where I am headed this week. Enjoy.

This week is a freedom of choice week and 4M, so I am going to present a rather eclectic mix of talent for your listening and viewing pleasure. No theme, just stuff I enjoy from time to time…not all the time, just from time to time. Have a blessed week.

I’m combining Aww…some Monday with Monday’s Music Moves Me theme, which is red, love, valentine. The photo is from Christmas 2018 and it finds both of us wearing red.

Last year my wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and I made a Spotify playlist that was over 5 hours long, so I believe I have the music theme covered. If you don’t like the songs I picked here you can probably go to spotify, search 50th Anniversary and you will probably come across my playlist. At any rate here are a few entries for this week. Enjoy.

It’s official!!! She’s in Arizona and working in the Athletics training complex. Proud doesn’t begin to describe how her Nana and I feel right now. Well done!!!

The theme this week is artists, bands or songs that make you think of cold. We just had a nasty cold spell in our part of the world, as night time temps dropped into single digits and daytime highs did not break the freezing mark for three days. That’s a pretty severe winter spell for us. Snow was involved, but nothing like New Orleans. The French Quarter was a winter wonderland. I am sure a few of my tunes will appear in other playlists today but here is my contribution.

80’s hair band, Foreigner comes to Nashville and rocks the Mother Church of country music with their legendary hit.

Another one leaves the nest. This image was taken around 2011 or 12. The oldest grand daughter, on the left is now in her sixth year as a kindergarten teacher and lives in Little Rock. The middle grand daughter, center, is leaving the nest tomorrow. After recieving her masters degree in sports training and therapy this past spring, then spending this past summer as an intern trainer in minor league baseball, she is headed to Arizona to join the staff of the major league Athletics! We’re going to miss her, but we have plans to possibly visit her sometime this spring and take in a few games. Time is moving very fast these days.

This week at 4M is free choice week, so I am going to go to Nashville to introduce you to a duo that my wife and I heard at the Ryman auditorium back in November. Larkin & Poe are sisters and their music is special. Enjoy.
