The day The Music Died

In February 1959 buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens doed in a small plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa. Every year the crowd that comes to celebrate gets bigger and bigger. The only thing is there are so many people bringing their kids andI don't think they should. There is dancing and a whole lot of drinking that goes with the celebrating and it's no place for kids. It's bad enough knowing the kids are there but are their parents that will drive them home some of the real drunks. I'm sorry but in my book it all leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Buddy Holly

The rock and roll legend Buddy Holly was killed in a plane crash north of Clear Lake Iowa in 1959. He and the Big Bopper and Richie Valens just completed a performance at the Surf ballroom in Clear Lake and were flying to Minneapolis when the small plane crashed in a snow storm killing all three of them. every year at this time Clear Lake holds a winter music fest to celebrate The rock and roll music of these three great legends in rock and roll. The celebration started last night and goes on until Sunday and brings a lot of visitors into Clear Lake. I live here and enjoy the fun that goes on.

Valentine's Flowers

It has been a really busy time with Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Next came all the ball games on television and New Years celebrations and I just now realized that Valentines Day is next month. That isn't very far off. I have a really good friend that helps me out so much. She keeps me company wherever I go and I help her out with lots of errands. Her business keeps her pretty busy and I am retired so I have more time than she does. I was just thinking how much she loves flowers. However, like I said, I am retired and I am living on a very tight budget so what I need is to get some Flower coupons. A friend told me about them and I am going to check out the Internet and see if I can get hold of some. In that way, I could show her my appreciation for her and all she has done for me. I just know how much she loves beautiful flowers and she would be so pleased with anything I pick out for her. What a surprise it would be too. I think that would be just the thing. I did think about a little box of chocolates but she watches everything she eats and is very health conscious so flowers would be the best thing to get for her.

Working From Home

I have a very limited income so I am always looking for something to do at home. I have some health problems so it is not an easy matter for me to get out and get a job outside of my home. I bought a new computer awhile back and have been checking the Internet to see what I can find to do. I have found a few things like blogging but it has not paid enough to keep up with my bills. I really need something that will make some good money to substantially step up my income so that after the bills are paid, I can buy some groceries, as well as, put gas in my van. My friend has a franchise business and he has been talking to me about it quite a bit. He is a good friend and has been a great deal of help to me. My other friend who helps me a lot also has his own business and he has given me many good ideas but I just have not found something yet that quite fits the bill for me. I want to work with my computer and make money with it if at all possible. Now that it is winter too, the ground and roads get so icy and I have to be extra careful not to fall and break something. If I could just find a good home business where I could work at my computer and stay in the warm house this winter, it would just be great.

It's Coming

When I say it's coming I mean freezing rain that I know everybody just loves. It great because I don't have to leave the house unless I want to. Tomorrow I'll read the Sunday paper then watch the movie Julia and Julie that I rented just for tomorrow. My friend has been dieing to see it so she will come over to keep me company. I really hope it's as good as the reviews have been saying. Well tomorrow will tell the tale..

What Happened?

After a week of single digit and below zero temps today showed us temps in the high 30's. Whatb happened and will it happen again tomorrow? I hat the subzero temps because of lung problems but today was a good day to be out and about. My friend and I drove 100 miles to Ankeny,Iowa and visited until about 9:00 tonight bafore we drove home again. It was a real nice ride except for one 7mile stretch with bumper to bumper traffic. It seems a semi went in the ditch and a dozen men were transferring the load to another truck. Traffic was down to one lane and backed up for 6 miles. That was a lot more than I needed to make my day complete.
