Happy Anniversary, Baby...Got You On My Mind


It's true...Jonnene and I have been oooh-ficially together now for two years! We've spent only a little less than 16 months together in each other's presence as a married couple but that immigration thing a while back put a crimp in making a go of it from the gun. It's been great and a lot more fun than I could imagine. She's made a big difference in my life and I want so much to do more for her.

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover

Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now

You know I believe her now


Somewhere in her smile she knows

That I don't need no other lover

Something in her style that shows me

Don't want to leave her now

You know I believe her now


You're asking me will my love grow

I don't know, I don't know

You stick around now it may show

I don't know, I don't know


Something in the way she knows

And all I have to do is think of her

Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now

You know I believe her now


"Something" by George Harrison (The Beatles)...Frank Sinatra once said that Something was the greatest love song ever written. Yeah, I can believe that....definitely top five for sure.

It's been busy since I last posted. The mum-in-law and sister-in-law stayed with us for about 18 days the last half of April. We sent them off to Vancouver, Canada (where they had more adventures with American Airlines) and they'll be on an Alaskan cruise to finish out their trip. We understand that they have 51 people in their tour group, all but FOUR are Aussies!! At least they'll be with folks who speak their language!

Right now we get a 3-week rest and then a friend of J's will be coming down to spend a couple of weeks with us at the Moore Manor. Elenda is in the States from Perth and currently is up in Chicago visiting family before she heads our way. The good thing is that it encourages me to continue getting the house in shape. I'd have done all that anyway but maybe I would've been a tad slower in the process. I have some cabinet doors to put up along with the continuing saga of getting all my "junk" out of the living room and put up somewhere out of sight, like in the attic. Then there's still plenty of yard work to keep up with. No rest for the common man.

Last Sunday I was honored with the presence of Johnny Cobb, aero-expert-extraordinaire'. He lives in Tyler, Texas but is originally from Shreveport and is one of the men most responsible for helping Lance Armstrong win his seven Tour de France titles. JC perfected LA's position on his time trial bike so he could go fast. Apparently it worked! Johnny's also worked with other famous cyclists like LeMond, Hampsten, Botero, and that guy who won Le Grand Tour (de France) last year. He also designs all the stuff for Blackwell Research. Anyway, he was in town for a family funereal and needed to get a photo enlarged for the services. He needed a scan done and I took care of that for him. He's now a big hero in the family for pulling off this mission. I was glad to help and it was nice to have him drop by the house for a bit.
