FAREWELL FARRAH AND MICHAEL

 

 

THE news that Farrah Fawcett had lost her battle with

cancer was hard to hear. Somehow I thought maybe just

maybe all the prayers and all the angels watching over her

would help heal her of this horrible disease cancer.

NOT SO.. The news came that she died earlier today in

Los Angeles. Those of us who grew up watching her evolve

into a wonderful powerful actress feel sad at her passing.

The poster that was made world wide famous looks tame

compared to posters from our time now. She will be remembered

fondly by so many and when you mention the name FARRAH

this is the image I think of .

Only a few hours later the news came that

MICHAEL JACKSON died. WHAT???  NO WAY.. this could

be just a rumor. It could not be true, he is so young.

He is a pop icon with the popularity similar to ELVIS.

DEAD! NO WAY!!  The news broke and the networks

scrambled to see if the reports were true. People and

reporters gathered at UCLA medical center.

SOON it was evident that it was true.. HE was gone.

Regardless of what went on in his personal life..

(and we all know what that was).. he was a force who

promoted trends in music and style. When I personally think

of Michael Jackson the first thing that pops into my head

is this picture. The music and the dancing that made the

world sit up and notice and replicate it over and over again.

 

Farrah did the same thing with her smile and her hairdo

and her talent.

I was struck over the fact that we had lost two icons

in the same day. THREE in two days including ED McMahon,

too much to take in.. JUST TOO MUCH.. 

I pray for their families and their loved ones. They alone will

suffer the most and the rest of the world will send their

prayers to them.

I also pray for WALTER CRONKITE who in the past few days

has reportedly been very ill at the age of 92. The world

is losing all it’s truly loved ICONS..

Rest In Peace…. you all will be sorely missed.

CROCKPOT TO THE RESCUE

Adding to the heat is the kitchen and trying to make some

dinner I happen to think of the CROCKPOT today! YES!!

That was a relief. Throw in the chicken and rice and

soup and wahhh lahhh hours later.. dinner is served.

It was a relief as the temps soared here to upper 90′s

and the humidity.. well lets just say the birdbath had

non-stop action, including the squirrels.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I decided to go to do my errands early in the day thinking

maybe just maybe it would be cooler. NO such luck. By

9:30 AM it was already near 90!! YIKES!  I made three

trips to the pharmacy and picking up meds took me

1 1/2 hours… to go 1 mile!!! They were not ready and then

they were and I picked them up and brought them home

and THEN I NOTICED that the price was way too high.

My fault I should have checked.. I think the heat got to me!

 

So back I went again only this time .. I FORGOT the

darn reciept. Back I went to the house.. it was comical

in nature but didn’t seem so at the time. The final time

the young clerk (who must be new!) said.." I don’t understand

the problem." I said.. THESE drugs are supposed to be

4$ on the new plan not 12$.. seemed simple enough to

me! GOD BLESS that nation-wide plan of 4$ for some meds.

THE list includes about 300 or so meds that most people buy

and they are all 4$ each. Places like Wmart and KMrT and

some grocery outlets are all going along with the plan.

SAVES big $$$$ I tell you! I signed mom up recently to

save money and we have,  but we sure have a hard time

getting things straight. It is worth looking into if you haven’t

already done so. YOU DON’T have to sign up or anything

just take in your bottles and they do the rest.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I noted that gas at the time I went to the store the first time

was 2.60  but by the time I got back from the last trip

it had went up to 2.69!! YEP they are getting ready to

raise it next week big-time. Be smart and buy early.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I made a swing by the river to see if it was over the banks

like last year. and happy to report it is high but not over

the banks!

As I drove by I noted this home that was in pretty bad repair but

it had the most beauiful large rose bush.

  

Now if I tried my hardest I could not get one to grow that lovely.

Unattended and left to grow it really thrived there. SAD in a way.. there are so many

homes here that have been left to the elements and time like that one. SO many

homeless and so many homes sitting empty. It is just a real shame.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE  A  GREAT DAY!!!
