For parents of rising college students, this can be either funny or scary HAPPY MONDAY!

My sister O shared this on her facebook profile with the caption:

Hahaha!!! The music and video reminded me of Venice Beach in the ’80s and the rolller skating crew led by my sister’s ex ( Kyle)..too cute!

This one is definitely cute and brought back memories of good times on the boardwalk Enjoy!

I think I’m getting as addicted to YouTube as my daughters! lol While they look at funny, silly stuff and music videos, I’m attracted to beautiful graphics and inspirational ones. Well, I like some of the funny ones too like the cute, talkative girl in my previous post.

This video touched me after finding out that the couple playing the piano duet have been married for 62 years. They are in their nineties and they are still playing music together. They laugh and they have fun. What an inspiration to us who sometimes wonder if we’re going to last another year together. See how their hands gently caress each others hip as they switch places. How they glance at each other and laugh. What a state to aspire for!

I was reminded of this quote (the first two lines from the poem Rabbi Ben Ezra) from the poet Robert Browning while watching the video:
“Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be” – Robert Browning

It’s the quote that I think about sometimes when things get difficult between me and my husband; when I’ve irritated him or when he’s getting on my last nerves, I think to myself… ‘we’ll be laughing at this when we’re gray and old and it wouldn’t seem like the big deal it is now’. Having faith that we are forever… at least for as long as we both shall live

Bah! Time sure flies when you don’t watch it. Well, when you get busy at home and at work, then time just slips away without you even knowing it. No sense crying over slipped time though, you just keep on going.

Even though I hadn’t updated in over a week, that doesn’t mean I’ve been totally slack about blogging. I’ve been cooking up in the kitchen. Here’s what I’ve dished up lately:

 
 
 
 
 
 
I entered several contests/giveaways this past week and I was lucky to win one of them! I entered Tropical Escape Basket Giveaway from Saved Not Stupid to celebrate her website launch, and guess what, I won! I’m excited. She said she’s sending my prize next week. I’ll have to hide it from the girls so they don’t get all the good stuff before I get to it

There were also several book giveaways that I entered on Found Not Lost. I don’t know yet if I won any of those, but I’m hoping. If you’d like to win books, check out my newest blog find, S. Krishna’s Books. She reads tons of books then gives them away when she’s done.

I’m also reviving the backyard blog. I think it’s supposed to finally stop raining this weekend so maybe we can go out to the garden and start puttering around again. I looked back there today and already I am seeing lots of green. I’ll see if I can get out there tomorrow and take some photos of the returnees.

In the meantime, here’s something just for your dancing pleasure. It sure made me dance! Have a great weekend, everyone!
