There's a bathroom on the right....

 

 

Must make a confession:

 

I know the first lines of a thousand songs, maybe. 

Singing that first line, over and over,

Grows old fast.

Music from the 70s

Comes on, and I smile.

I know the first line,

will hum the rest.

Years and years ago,

Hearing “Bad Moon Rising” (Creedence Clearwater),

I never understood the chorus.

WHAT? you ask.

What I heard was

“Take the bathroom on the right…”

Which didn’t make any sense to me then.

Now, I would really appreciate knowing that.

 

Flash forward to March 2017, Laughlin, Nevada....

I bought tickets to hear the CCR performance, 

and it was awesome. 

 

Don Henley and Joan Jett were there,

and we impressed, except Joan couldn't

go onstage, sick. 

 

Don Henley AWESOME.  Oh my! 

 

The song I most wanted to hear 

was "Bad Moon Rising".

And there it was or wasn't,

I thought it wouldn't be... 

 

It appeared just as we were gathering up our blanket. 

John Fogerty did not disappoint.  

 

Oh, how I love CCR. 

The Library with Walter the Farting Dog, et al

 

 

The best job ever for Brenda was volunteer work: one who wandered around the library and collected books left on tables..  Who would read this?  What a huge book!  Gotta write this one down!... Smells of old and new books were both invigorating and soothing.

non-fiction

Pushing the shelving cart, Brenda grabbed books, reading titles aloud.

"Orchid Thief" Non-Fiction?


"Glasnost, Perestoika and the Socialist Community"The spine is barely creased open.  Must be a very serious history.

"Vacation in Margaretta, New York"  A real page tuner.


"Walter the Farting Dog" Read this to my younger brother.  Never again.

"Wind Talkers" Saw the movie, Nicholas...what's his name..Cage? With Adam Sands?

An excellent book

A worthwhile read

 

 

"Like Water for Chocolate" Mom was reading this one, once and then twice.


 

                          

"The House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer" Loved this book! 

More time remained on her shift. Seeking out "The Islands of the Blessed" by Nancy Farmer, Brenda settled with a sigh, beginning with the first page.
