just more pics from plymouth

Just more pics from Plymouth. The landscape pics in the previous posting as well as 2 pics here were taken by Bump - I think the best thing ever invented for a child like my son is the digital camera. Because he sometimes has a hard time focusing through the small lens in a basic camera the digiatal cameras with the screen are much easier for him to operate.

Sometimes progress is wonderful.

some pics from plymouth

Though an upload mistake in my previous post I found more than one pic can be uploaded.

I find this a great benefit as I cannot find a suitable host site for online pictures, one secure enough to use or easy enough to link to my contacts - my contacts already know the problem I had with msn (altho not msn's fault)

The above pics were taken by Bumper and I in Plymouth on 070709. I like the pic of the post; it says "May peace Prevail On Earth" in several languages.

sad news

Sad news.

It was reported this morning through Yesterdayland that the voice of Gumby and Archie Andrews, that Riverdale teenager who's cartoons were popular on Saturday mornings, has passed away. Dallas McKennon, who also voiced several cartoon characters for Disney, Walter Lantz (Buzz Buzzard) and who also acted on the Daniel Boone series, passed away at 89, "just shy of his 90th birthday".

As one of my fellow group members stated: "For many of us the various voices that Mr McKennon gave us are part of our childhood, the voices we grew up on and, despite his passing, those voices will never fade".

I say "Thank you Mr McKEnnon - RIP"

new fave radio station

A new favorite to add to my long list of favorite radio stations:

Playing music from the 50s, 60s and 70s with a decided preference toward the 70s; I have already listened to ELO, Rupert Holmes ("Him", not that yech "Pina Colada" rubbish) and Andrew Gold...talk about childhood memories!

The following url was posted in the group due to a discussion about the program Love, American Style. This blog deals with a lot of movies and is more of a psychotronic site, meaning that it deals with many genres of movies and programs (biker movies, horor movies, et al); enjoyable but not for everyone

all-american diner

Bump and I visited Plymouth yesterday and had to make our usual stop in to the All-American Diner. This is the place to go when visiting Plymouth MA the prices are ecomomical and the food and the atmosphere is worth it.

And they treat kids really well!

bumpy's diner

My son is now cooking.

The only thing we do for him is spray the "Pam".

He woke me this morning (615!) and told me he was cooking a beakfast buffet. We had bagels with cream cheese, cheese and ham omelets, coffee (me) and juice. All made by the Bumper.

I really think he will be a success in the cooking field - has his mom's and great-grandmothers' genes (and he and I both started cooking at the same age)

This is going to be a great week with Bumper...cannot wait.

on vacation

I am on vacation this week.
What are my plans? Working around the house on things I've had to put off due to work and time.
And enjoy the week with my son.
Today he has swimming lessons and then it's shopping then working on the house.
More soon.
