Kristine says “May 30th- YOUR TRIBUTE *this one is wide open*…Video of you singing your favorite song? Maybe? that would cheer me up!“: I doubt a video of me singing would cheer anyone up…so in honor of trying to cheer Kristine up, here’s three pics for Stuff Portrait Friday. I bet at least ONE of ‘em will cheer her up

Took this shot in Boston a couple weekends ago…the statue is one of our old mayors, Kevin White.

Saw this sign at Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas and it just cracked me up

This might not make you laugh…but I bet it will make you smile …

Kristine says “May 23rd is (SELF or SOMEONE) YOU IN MUSIC (playing an instrument, dancing, getting ready for a dance getting into music..whatever)”:

May I present:

Kristine says the whole month of May will be about music; today it’s “a lyric from a song”:

I chose Dancing Days by Led Zeppelin…and of course, I have the whole song, not just one lyric, and a few pictures to illustrate!

Here goes:

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows.

Chorus: I said it’s alright
You know it’s alright
I guess it’s all in my heart

You’ll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you’re wearing your clothes
Sippin’ booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow.

Chorus

I told your mama I’d get you home
But I didn’t tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.

Chorus

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.

Kristine says the whole month of May will be about music; today it’s all about our “musak playa”:
