Jacqui on Kendall's machine.

Today is a good day because I'm here in Maine with the man I love and we are taking off today for Connecticut where Sandy Paton is going to perform our wedding ceremony. I've gotten to see the fall colours and found out how many really good friends I have in the UK and am beginning to find in the USA.

My song is in the final of the "Write a Folk Song for Lincolnshire" Competition. I really don't care about whether I win or not...just to see Mr and Mrs SOOZ (Stitherum) perform it on stage will be an honour. If I win it will be a bonus.
Best wishes.

I am continuing to lose weight via lots of execise
Last night I wrote a song in an open tuning
It sounds good
I have finally come to terms with there being no possibility of getting back with my ex
Tonight I will be sorting out a date for my first ever gig
I've got a ticket for Maghull Day of Folk
And I'm being given a lift home by a very nice and extremely good looking young man (swoon!)

Life is good!

Today is a good day for many reasons.

1. I was up before the sun (before 6:00am, really) and started the day off with some fiddle tunes!

2. It was a glorious fall day today...bright blue skies, many trees still absolutely beautiful with bright yellow leaves and some free time to enjoy it all!

3. My husband was able to go out fishing for the day with a friend...something which he dearly loves and rarely has time for.

4. I spent the day with my Mom, celebrating her birthday! We went to a pumpkin patch where Mother Goose characters awaited us in various forms of pumpkins! It's a silly thing and I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching all the little children squealing with delight when they find their favorite nursery rhyme character made of pumpkins! We both enjoyed our day together immensely. :)

Yep....definately a good day! :)

It's Sunday and I had a choice of three concerts to go to, all of which I would have enjoyed. My wife and I chose one where friends are members of the choir and the son of a friend of ours is preaching. With plenty of good food after the service.

Baptists LOVE to eat!

'Tis a VERY good day when I wake up AND when I wake up and nothing new hurts.

'Twill be a VERY good day when the 1st cup of coffee has just the right balance of cream and sugar or other additions as you like... sometimes a drop of chocolate syrup or vanilla or amaretto.

'Twas a VERY good day when I slip easily into sleep at night and feel happy with muself and my doings of the day.

Peace be with you all.

I got a cart for my dishwasher and so far so good. A few drips from the faucet. Also we are having an awesome sunset today, and did yesterday. Weather can be either glorious or wretched here this time of year. Also I have some low-carb ice cream and a spoon and a Lands End new catalog. Doesn't get much better...mg

Oops..spoons are in the dishwasher..

Despite the nasty weather outside, today is a good day because I spent the morning with my best girlfriend! She had an appointment with the Dr. and we got to listen to the heartbeats of the twins....all is well!!! We went to lunch afterwards and sat for a few hours....chatting and catching up with one another!   :)

Beautiful weather here in cranberry land. Getting a big grant out today..waiting for one last piece of paper. We could (hopefully..anything could happen) not have better world news than the peaceful death of Arafat, combined with the successful elections in Afghanistan. Bush has promised to redo the tax code..I sure hope so...so that all people benefit. We had a peaceful election, a graceful defeat, no terrorism stopped it. We are but pale imitations of the women of Afghanistan who didn't budge in their voting lines as bombs exploded nearby, but I think part of the large turnout was America saying to bin laden and other terrorists that we shall not be moved.   mg

Thanks, Lily. The prognosis is excellent, although she will have to undergo some chemotherapy. The doctor says that she should keep her hair and not get very sick.

We're glad things aren't worse, as they could very well be.

Today is a good day because I found out that my best girlfriend (who is having twins)is definately having a boy (he's going to be Colin Hunter) and the other is most likely a girl (she will be named Salem Willow). They both weigh exactly 9 ounces and are right on schedule....everything is developing as it should be!!!!!!!!!!

Also, it's Thursday...that means I finally have an afternoon to myself!!!!!!!   :)
