The next song circle in South Portland, Maine will be on Saturday 14 June from 6.00pm as usual.

Pot luck supper and bring your voices.

This time we're going with a theme. As it will be flag day and close to Midsummer's Day the theme will be Patriotism and Summer songs. Bring some new songs to try out!

Who's in?

What happened to the fourth Saturday of the month schedule? I already had cleared the work schedule so someone else would close for me! Can't make June 14th, as it is my boss' only day off that week.

Sorry, sweetie, We had a tentative concert set up for the 14th but it did not materialize so...
Come late. We will save some goodies for you.

Sigh. It's hell being responsible, can't make it at all, as it is Andy's only day off in a ten day stretch. I work until 9:00 PM and I have to open the following AM. Andy pulled double duty for me a couple of weeks ago so I could go away for the weekend and he's doing it again next weekend so I can go to my dad's funeral. AND if I COULD get the day off, I'd be at my niece's HS graduation.

I keep looking for reasons. It seems a bit thunderstormy out and atmospheric pressure's a trigger. I've been eating a lot of grape tomatoes, and tomatoes can be a trigger. The baby migraines usually go away if I get out of bed before they turn into big mothers. Not this time.

I feel like a lonely exile... sniff.

I'm good now, both headache and hug-wise. I just hope the headache stays gone once the drugs wear off.

I was gonna bring the dulcimer up. I don't think any of them have seen it. I honetly think the last (and only) time I brought it anywhere was to Fox Hollow in 197?. Without re-tuning, you get one key.

I wonder what they're up to. The chicken alfreddie sounded good.

I slept, the clouds let loose, and I felt good this morning. I thought about showing up for breakfast, but the trip would have cost over $20 worth of gas and tolls. (waaaaa...)

Smaller circle than usual, but great conversation (I'll have to listen to the tape to see if I have blackmail material), good singing (boy, the circle went around fast!) and it was a delight to have Nancy adding songs I'd never heard before.

Mary, thank you again for the B.D. presents! Just to let everyone else know, she totally screwed up and didn't give me anything too hideous. And even the yellow and purple frosted mini-cupcakes (with pink candles) were not as bad (in appearance) as had been anticipated. They tasted good, too! (Tom ate most of them -- I went for the blueberry pound cake Nancy brought.)

I attempted to felt some Seamus hair (he was shedding formidibly) and make a tiny Barbie hat or something, but it was less than successful.

And I flunked toast this morning, too. (It's a poor worker who blames her tools...)

It was a small but fun group. Highlights: Baby Kiran pictures (the one with him and Gorden Bok is priceless), the George M Cohan medley, Nancy's Argenta Magenta cowboy love song, Tami's Red River Valley,Tom's Hay Mowing song, Linn's Tequila Sheila (a lot of cowboy songs but very little summer and patriotic). I love it when the best laid plans go astray.

Lots of good food. Jacqui did breakfast and Kendall gave me one of his blue eyes (sigh).

Last but not least, the Dave Bryant Memorial Lobster finally found another home.

Just finished scratching off all the tickets -- not quite enough for a mortgage payment, but the total was 96 smackeroonies, so not bad at all! (Fun, too.) Prolly won't be able to cross the border to convert them to cash until Saturday before the Shanty Sing.

Speaking of which...

Mary, could you do me a HUGE flavor? I managed to leave my FAVORITE shirt on top of the bookcase in your bedroom. Sigh. Got everything else safely packed, and I even remember noting where it was, but I must have gotten distracted while making sure all the bits and pieces were safely in the bag. Could you PLEASE (please, please, please) bring it along and repatriate it on Saturday?

I would REALLY appreciate it (and I'll try to do better on the toast next time; #%@# toaster...).

Theng gyoo!

I would like to point out that I did NOT burn the toast.

I probably should have started making it a few minutes earlier, and ALL of the butter should have been at room temp rather than just the initial quarter stick. (Note to self: take butter from fridge even before the coffee is made.) It's a four-slice toaster and two slices didn't toast in the first go-round for some reason. I jiggled the handle and did the best I could. Sigh.

It was a really lovely rye bread, though.
