Some of my favorite things...

Cue the Sound of Music song....

Watching Pumpkin's and Tinkerbell's tails *thwap*, *thwap*, *thwap * against the wall when they see a bird from their window sill perch.

Watching the birds flock together for the hard trip south.

Sunny falls days and cool fall nights.

Our front rose bushes that bloom in the cooler air.

Preparing the ground for next year's garden.

Leaves slowly changing colors.

Early fall sunrises where you can see the moon and the sun.

The fog rolling across the fields of alfalfa and corn.

Crisp fall mornings.

I like some of the previews of this album, just not the funky or dance tune genre ones. I've always enjoyed the piano solos.

This is a good one! Very etherial and relaxing.

He also furnished his voice in The Guess Who's 1974 tribute, the top 40 hit single, "Clap for the Wolfman". A few years earlier, Todd Rundgren recorded a similar tribute, "Wolfman Jack", on the album Something/Anything?. Canadian band The Stampeders also released a cover of "Hit the Road Jack" in 1975 featuring Wolfman Jack; the storyline of the song involved a man named "Cornelius" calling Jack on the phone, telling him the story of how his girlfriend had thrown him out of the house, and trying to persuade Jack to let him come and stay with him (at this point, Jack ended the call). His voice is also featured in the songs "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" by Sugarloaf (Billboard HOT 100 peak #9 in Mar 1975) and "Did You Boogie (With Your Baby)" by Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids (Billboard HOT 100 peak #29 in Oct 1976).

Jennifer Louden Self-Care Minder

Not Quite Daily Dollop
This is from Jennifer's website. It is a nice reminder that we need to be good to ourselves also!

Take time for a 5 to 10 minute all over scalp and body massage before you shower or bathe. Use jojoba, almond, coconut or sesame oil--you can warm it by placing the bottle with the oil in warm water for five minutes.

Start at your scalp, working up from the temples.

Spend extra time on your ears and then your sweet, precious neck.

Work your way down your arms and massage the spot between your pointer finger and thumb.

Clock wise circles on your belly are good for digestion.

Long strokes on your arms and legs and sides of your body help you detox.

Dig into your feet with your knuckles to relieve tension and balance your whole body.

Be delighted by your beautiful, precious body. And if you can't delight in the whole darn thing, how about individual parts--your wrists, your ankles, your cheeks, your eyes?

Today's Intention: Creating a moment of soothing self-massage and letting it spread into my day.

With comfort and love,
Jen

Way to go girls!

BG students ‘Swamped!' with original production
Written by Sentinel Staff
Thursday, 27 March 2008

Senior Emily Krueger (center) portrays the Wood County clock tower in the vignette “The Clock Tower Birds” in the BGHS Drama Club’s original production “Swamped!”The Bowling Green High School Drama Club will present an encore performance of its hit production “Swamped!” on April 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the junior high school auditorium. Although the performance is free, the club will be accepting donations to benefit the Wood County Humane Society.“Swamped!” features nine stories significant to Bowling Green’s history: How the Swamp Was Drained, How Bowling Green Got Its Name, The Fight For the County Seat, The Clock Tower Birds, The Great Glass Boom, The Great Depression Hits Bowling Green, The POW Camp, The Pretty Boy Floyd Shoot-Out, and The Blizzard of ’78.The cast researched the facts through books and other materials archived at the Wood County District Public Library, interviews with members of the Wood County Senior Citizens’ Center, and exhibits at the W.W. Knight Preserve in Perrysburg.Once the cast had the facts, members fleshed out the stories by integrating imagination, humor, and creative movement, according to club adviser Jo Beth Gonzalez.“Swamped!” is an example of a grassroots theatre project. In grassroots theatre, the production is often created in partnership with other community organizations. In this case, the play was organized for the sole purpose of celebrating the 175th anniversary of Bowling Green. The people who are the subjects of the work — in this case, residents of Bowling Green — are part of the play’s development from inception through presentation.“Swamped!” has offered 23 teens in grades 7-12 a hands-on way of exploring the history of their community and the discovery that quite a lot of exciting incidents fostered the growth of Bowling Green.Actors include Brianna Willinger, Jeff Malanga, Dylan Stretchbery, Mary Sundermeir, Layan Elwazani, Monica Gonzalez, Emily Krueger, Rebecca Szparagowski, Darien Ankney, Rachel Rine, Jackie Skoog, Sean Gorant, Jordan McKinney, Kapil Melkote, Elizabeth Myerholtz, Justin Betancourt, Trina Friedberg, John Wade, Veronica Gonzalez, Emily Kleine, Emily Myerholtz, Emily Meyer and Brittany Willinger.Zack Doane is stage manager and Brigitte Reinke operates lights and sound.
