QUOTES from the Sandbox ~ Tuesday, July 17, 2018

Hi Everyone!  Tonight I was so involved in an upcoming 50th Anniversary event to be held this September - an organization of friends who have stayed close in spirit and soul all these years.  In the course of the evening, I pulled out my 12 string Hummingbird guitar and reviewed the songs we usually sing around our campfires.  Well, there were our favorites:  Peter, Paul, and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins... Yep, you probably know the list:  Puff the Magic Dragon, Blowing in the Wind, If I Had a Hammer, Sounds of Silence, Hey, That's No Way to Say Good-Bye.... Well, who would have thought how potent and powerful memories are...cause they came rushing in like a tidal wave a-n-d wound me up like a tight spring.  Earlier in the day I had chosen the quotes for the day.  .  Looking forward to writing my post with expectations to unwind.   Have a calm, peaceful, relaxed, and yet, successful Tuesday.                                                                                Jane
