Happy Birthday Woodstock...


In-Between all the hassles of life that have been hurdled in my direction lately...we did take time out on Saturday Evening for a small gathering to celebrate the 40th Birthday of Woodstock!! and what a fun time we had...Good Food, Good Wine, Good Talk ...and even a Cake!! Our good friends Kate and Tony joined us...it was all rather impromptu , just the way I like gatherings to be. Kate and Tony are from New York (living in Havasu for many years now) and Kate...bless her heart...was in the middle of the Whole Woodstock Nation...enjoying the 3 day festivities...and boy, what tales she can tell. I never went to Woodstock...wanted to very badly and came close...but the ride I had back there 'canceled' out (and YES...it was a Volkswagen Van)!!...so I instead headed to Southern , California (much closer) for my summer of Love as they called it...lol!
A&E has been running a wonderful 2 hour tribute to Woodstock ..and the new movies comes out next weekend...can't wait!!
About as close as I got that summer was to see the New York Broadway traveling Show of 'Hair' at the Aquarius Theater in LA... it was FANTASTIC!!!!
Yes...we did wear flowers in our hair... wore love beads (Kate is wearing her original ones from Woodstock in the picture) Bell Bottoms, gave the peace symbol every 10 minutes, smelled like Patchouli and did other fun type things of that period....it was innocent and we all seemed to be happy back then... a very creative time for many artists....
Happy Birthday Woodstock ...and "PEACE"...

Been out of the 'Blog Loop' toooooo long!!!









AT LAST!!!! We finally got our auctions listed on EBAY Witch Hat
WHEW!!!! We have been through hell the past several days with a series of Misfortunate Events ...including Digital Camera going Belly Up , Car Issues, House Issues, and a whole slew of personal Private Stuff ... that it was starting to look like purposeful Roadblocks were being tossed in our way left and right... But Alas ... perseverance won out with a 'Where there's a will...there's a way' Attitude ... and we got it all handled...again I stress heavily a Great Big WHEW!!!!
So this is why I have been absent from my Blog...and boy did I ever miss it and all of you...
Now I must go and start reading to see what I have missed in Bloglandia....
Hugs to All...
