Hillbilly Girl From Ireland

Jill recently mentioned that she likes Willie Nelson but doesn’t like Bluegrass. Well, Bluegrass was derived from music that came over with the immigrants from the Celtic countries — like Ireland, Scotland and others in that area. My maternal family came over from that area, and even though my paternal family are pure German, we have mostly celebrated the Celtic side all of my life. So, I told…

Hectic Week Finally Over

This past week has been one headache after all the others, but hopefully it is over. Just hoping, but not sure. Last week, late on Friday night, or maybe it was Thursday. Whatever! I finally got around to checking my phone that I have been refusing to be a slave to for a couple of weeks, and found message from Mike, my youngest kid. His youngest kid, Noah, was involved in an accident and was in…

Crazy Fun Or Not Week

I’m really not sure how to describe this week. Some bad news re my leg and cellulitis, some worse news about the ongoing thing in charge of our country at present, and a fun contest going on here at home. The fun first because there is already too much bad stuff going on in the world and I am fed up to my hair follicles with that stupidity. So, while working in the sewing room being provided for…

I'd Rather Be Sleeping

So much going on in the world today that my brain is frozen from wondering what is going to happen next. One old man holds the future and the lives of us all in his hands while ranting and raving about people who don’t give him the respect he wants. But that old Turkish proverb I fell in like with still holds true: “If a clown moves into a palace, that doesn’t make him a king. Rather, the palace…

In Memory Of Rita

I had a friend. For many years we were close, doing everything together. We sometimes fought like sisters, made up and kept the friendship alive. And then we lost each other to time and distance. As those of you who follow know, I don’t post very often now, but today I heard about Rita. She has been on my mind for some time but I didn’t go beyond trying to find her on Facebook and failing. But…

Happy To Be Back Home

Some days I have problems accepting that I am living in Assisted Living and can’t do all the things I used to do. But after this past week, spent in a hospital in Evansville, IN home is beautiful. It all started 3 months ago when I developed an allergy to one of my meds, resulting in an itch that began in my feet and were working their way North. The itching was so intense that I scratched it,…

Found On Substack

https://open.substack.com/pub/thedingodave/p/nypd-officer-a-real-officer-not-like?r=2i8f71&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false A lot of language but a NYPD officer stood up to ICE thugs who apparently tried to stop him from entering a building where they were making an arrest. He sure told them what he thought in no uncertain words. My reason to smile for today. Happy…

Just Remembering

I woke up during the night with this song running through what’s left of my brain and finally just decided to find it and play it, The song is from as old movie called San Antonio. I have to admit I have not seen the movie because I can’t find a copy of it. I think it came out in 1943, but not certain. Just know it was a long time ago. I’m a sucker for old Western movies and TV series, and first…

Another Song From An Incredible Kid

I don’t know much about this child but am trying to find some information. Only that she is 8 or 9 years old and an incredible pianist and singer. She is able to play and sing almost any kind of song. Wish I could adopt her, but maybe it will be enough to post her music for others to enjoy as well.

A Song For Every Day

I can’t remember when I first heard the song “This Old House”, but it was somewhere around 1954, when it was written. This morning I found myself kinda singing “Ain’t a-gonna need this house much longer, ain’t a-gonna need this house no more” so I looked it up and hopefully here it is. There are several versions of this song but being a Willie fan when I saw this one it was a no-brainer. I will…
