And the Ringtone Story......

Okay so over at Watergate Summer, I posted that 6-6 and I have been talking about Music ( which means that we have been learning that I don't know Enough). So yesterday , after finding my phone stuck under a pillow, I realized that The Ringtone From Hell was driving him crazy- so he said "why don't we change it?". So I said fine.....

So He would sit and pull up lists of Bands , and run off names and then I would sit and look them up on Youtube and see what I wanted on my phone. Well, being funny- he says- Hey why don't we put music on "FROM YOUR ERA" ( Well gee , let me move my walker out of the way and put my teeth in Sonny...) So he says I think you should have some Led Zeppelin or The Who. He says I think you should have the Song "Cashmere" (now that is what my feeble old ears heard....) That song was the first Hard Rock song I ever really heard- I was at the Beach with friends, and some College Students had it blaring out of their car and a bunch of us were trying to Fly Kites.....so that song reminds me of Kites...always.

So I go to YouTube and look up Led Zeppelin and Cashmere, no luck , so then I look up Cashmere and all I find are a bunch of videos of sweaters.....and I did have a nice laugh....and realized that listening to songs from this era really did make me feel absolutely Ancient.....sigh....

Anyways I finally realized I wanted a song from Now, so I found a good Matchbox 20 song....and felt more "with it."..

So What do you have on your phone for a Ringtone ?

Friday Afternoon at the Cafe....

So the funny thing is that I have a list of Places I Need to Go To, and the list has now grown substantially thanks to YouTube, and the Internet. ( and it was already plenty long from Bali, to Nepal, to Burmah, to Thailand, to Scottish Moors, to Tasmania, to Madagascar and on and on.....) The photo above is so soothing, I love the shadows and the shade and the water, it is Rum Point in the Cayman Islands. Although I don't think you would need much Rum to be there, the serenity alone makes me drunk....

As soon as the temperatures fall below 40 I am craving warm white sands......

I am making a Blueberry Peach Cobbler , which I will post the receipe later....in the Comments...

So do you have a List ? What Places are on it.....

Thursday Night Music 11.08.07

*****************************
*{ Click title : Simon&Garfunkel "Old Friends" }*

"In the Depths of Winter, I finally realized that deep within me lay an Invincible Summer"
Albert Camus

I put Simon and Garfunkel on the Jukebox...they always remind of Fall and Cold Weather....scarves and mittens and hot Chocolate.

It is chilly here this week, 30's, Wintery, and I was not ready for it, yet. I have been getting my house ready- but I mean ME , the inside of me is NOT ready yet. So other than plastic-ing windows, and rearranging furniture ( we move to one floor and shut off rooms to save heat, energy and money). What else do you all do to keep warm ?

Pictures of Home....11.07.07

***********************
So here is the thing.....I keep dreaming about the Northwest...and I can't stop it, and then other nights I don't want to dream about it , so then I can't sleep. I think it is about being Homesick. I left Seattle, the Northwest on MLK day 2004, it seems so long ago. So if you all don't mind, I thought I would hang a little picture from Home....Thank you...

So do you all have places that haunt your dreams, that you dream about still ?

Dark and Stormy Night at the Cafe....

DK found some lamps, they are so lovely, I know we will hang them all over, but for now let's admire them...and on this dark and stormy night it sure has made it cozy here...and I put John Mellencamp on the JukeBox.....I hope that is okay.....

....I have pumpkin muffins on the counter, and sqaush soup in the crock pot....

So did you hear that in Oregon today they upped the Cigarette taxes to pay for Kids Without Insurance, how do you all feel about that ?

I have some feelings ..but I need to make some coffee first....

Waiting for Oolong Tea.....and an Apology

*********************************
I wrote over at Watergate....that I took an Unplanned Sabattical this past week....But I am back and trying to get caught up...and will do my best to get caught up....as quickly as possible....there is Oolong on the way...

Good Morning, Welcome to the Enigma Cafe, Day 4

**************************************
So Welcome to the Enigma Cafe.....I decided to open a nice little corner cafe, a place to gather and talk and sip some coffee and eat some muffins, a place to get cozy , find some comfort amoung friends. On weekends I might even make pancakes...other days there is soup...there is music on the JukeBox...and on the Blackboard Wall by the Front Door there is the Question of the Day ? and if you want certain music you can leave that messege on the Blackboard too. ( Yesterday DK requested The Temptations singing "I wish it would Rain"...and guess what I found it- go ahead and click the title).

*Note* For newcomers this month we are hanging Your Leaf Peeper Art, so email me the photo and we will hang it on the wall.

Also scroll down and you will see all the work that was done this week to make the Cafe comfy... Also TWO Lighthouse Stained Glass Doors arrived- so you all will have to help me choose ? Which one do you like better ?

*QUESTION FOR THE DAY ?*
IF your House was in the line of Fire , You have 2 minutes to grab stuff, WHAT would you grab and why ?
