I have no idea when the last time you checked in here was ... it's been months since I've lurked around here. But since I'm here today, I thought I'd leave a small comment on your wall.
You have two Springer Spaniels, right? My best dog *ever* was a Springer Spaniel, back when I was 8-12 years old (lo these many years ago). His name was Major. What a great dog. I still miss him!
LOL Kathy, no that wasn't the one in my mind, it was sung by Robert Goulet (oh what a voice!) And I found it! Ooohhhhhh I can hear him now!!!! LOLOL. Not a very crimespacey topic but hey!
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
Your hair streaked with sun-light,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face witha lustre
that puts gold to shame!
But if I'd ever leave you,
It couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
And could I leave you
running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in spring-time?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! not in spring-time!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!
Kathy--hope you see this. Are you notified when I answer? Hmm. Anyway, my dad had Richard Harris on the reel to reel. I can close my eyes and hear that music pouring through the house. I just wish I could remember the words... I can remember the tune--springtime, December I think... la la la... I wonder if he still has all those old tapes. Leslie my sister and I just loved laying on the living room floor and listening to those old things. Smile.
PJ, hey!!! You remember me? HOw cool! What is this Dallas even in June? Hardboiled and Cozy cats? Hardboiled cats? Huh? LOL. I would love to attend that.
LOL watch it, woman! Yes, I'm getting back in the groove finally--and choose to work on something that will take me forever. But gotta do what you gotta do. Wish you still lived here. We could rumble.
Lonnie I did the same thing here and there! It gets stuck on occasion. How you doing? I have seen you here and there and it seems you are doing very well. I am too--now. LOL. Working on it anyway.
Duane, I saw Joe Lansdale at the I suppose now defunct mystery con that was held in Dallas every August (worst time ever, so hot) and bought THE BOTTOMS. I think...if I remember right...that he was either the guest of honor, or toasted the guest of honor. Oh gosh getting old--Bill Crider was there I think. I see he is on here too. Anyway, I picked up that book and couldn't put it down, and have reread it twice since. I never reread. Not sure why it touched me so (the main character, his father probably even more, the black doctor) but now I think I want to read it again. Thanks for the comment!

Now to write a blog--what to say! Ahh!
Give the photo a couple minutes to update and it'll show up everywhere.
