I'm still in a state of shock at this! The music! The pictures! The people I love so much-- even though few of them are here, they still live in my heart!
Thanks for coming by!
Lady Dowser thank you so much for sharing. Your son is so thoughtful and incredibly sweet. I love the pictures and the music was perfect. Your son clearly loves you. Did you do anything special for your birthday?
We went to a band competition, and everyone was absolutely lovely to me! I got to hug most of the kids and their parents, and shared so many wonderful moments with friends and family! It was perfect! Words cannot describe how much it meant to me to be with my family, and friends-that-are-family! I feel full of love today!!! YAY, that's a good way to feel!!!
Oh, and the band director allowed me to bang the big Chinese gong, once! I've wanted to do that for 40+ years, and finally got to!!! WHAT FUN!
Sounds like the perfect day.
Next year for my birthday I'm asking for this............
I lived right close to that feller for a long time. Never saw him though. I'm a fan. Anyone who still makes Oat Operas is alright by me.
He's a great guy! Meaning to no disrespect, but I think I'll stick to my dear husband... My dear husband is on the left!
Good choice Lady Dowser.
Thanks, Pj. I love him more every day!
Dear Friend Dowser: What was wonderful and moving testament to you from your family.
This really gets me "In the Mood".
Mine would to do the same, save for technical difficulties.
It seems youtube can't take Petroglyphs on Papyrus very well.
The love your family shows for you is awe inspiring.
Happy Birthday.
By Mid November mine will come.
Finally, I will be legally able to vote.
Enoch, Sipping from the Fountain of Youth.
Got any extra juice? I need some! Still barely walking-- hoping to get into the doctor soon!
Love you, dear Enoch!
Very nice Dowser.
Thank you, dear friend! I am so pleased with it!
Is that first song Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller? I know it is a Glen Miller hit, but not sure which one!
It is.
Have you ever heard what the band Chicago did with that song?
Nice version!
I think so too.
It's a great song.
I think those are the original lyrics-- and Chicago does it so well!!! I have a recording from the 40s somewhere, when someone like the White Cliffs of Dover singer sings them... Whose name escapes me right now... I'm just too old to remember... Vera something?
LOVE this song!
One of mt favorites...
What a tremendous gift from your son. You musta done something right raising that boy up.
He was born good, dear Tex, I had nothing to do with it! All I've done is love him! I'm utterly stunned by this! How he knew to make this for me, I'll never know, but it is infinitely precious to me! So many of the people I love... It means everything!
That's what I say about my daughter as well.
Your son did a mighty fine job on this vid. Quite lovely on its own. I do love old fambly pics. We've got tons of old movies dating back to the '30's. It's the Deep Ass South, so lots of nekkid babies running round at pig pickins and such. Guns, cars, bridges, Sunday Go to Meeting clothes.
Some of them are old old south. Lots of little white kids in Sunday clothing at birfdays and teas with lines of black ladies sitting together or chasing them around. Like moving images of a dying apartheid. It ain't dead quite yet but somebody needs to throw a hatchet at it. The entire concept needs to cross the rive Jordan. So to speak.
Yep. I understand completely!
What a great gift....That Matthew is a real gem.
He sure knows how to please his Mama! He's been helping me all weekend, when he could. I couldn't do without him! Thanks so much! I'll tell him what you said, and he'll be pleased!
Matthew says thank you! Asks how you are doing, and hopes that both you and Red are doing ok!
What a treasure of a gift! What a thoughtful, wonderful son you have! Very happy for you, Dowser!
KatPen, my dear friend-- thank you so much! I don't know what I would do without them! They are necessary to my well-being!
That was very nice Dowser. What can one say, you're a very fortunate lady and they are very fortunate to have you.
Maybe this will work for Buzz, I don't know. Everyone knows this isn't by Sixpick, I hope. LOL
I can't thank you enough for that! I hope Buzz gets to enjoy it!
Thanks, dear Six!!!
You got a 'keeper' for a son. Better hang on to Mr. Dowser too. Happy Birthday, dear lady!
Don, thank you, very much! He makes my life bright!
That is an amazing gift from Matthew, Dowser. Happy Birthday to you! May you have many more!
Perrie, thank you so very much! He was so sweet about it!
Love you!
That is a great kid you have there!
Happy Birthday, my darling M!
Thank you, sweet friend! MUCH love to you!
A wonderful discussion … evocative of good feelings!
Thanks, dear A. Mac-- I've only watched it about 20 times, and I cry, each time... My family-- the people I loved best, all came to see my on my birthday, thanks to my wonderful son, who has enriched my life from the very beginning...
I have put all the pictures that you fixed for me in a separate folder, and he didn't have access to them, because I didn't put them on a flash drive and give them to him. He did great, restoring some of these old pictures! Not as good as you, but he's trying hard!
Thank you, my dear friend, for all that you do for all of us!
