Belated anniversary greetings to BDOB and Otie, birthday greetings to Byard.
Bro. Collins and Leeann are en route, safe travels to them. Another turn in the highway.
Having problems sleeping, like most of us here these days.
I never thought I'd move south, either. My mom moved down when I was 18, I told her, "I ain't goin'! See ya!" But five years later, I was ready for a change of scenery. I still miss IN....occasionally. GA is home now. No regrets.
Oh my - been a New Yorker all my life, cannot imagine making such a move - safe travels!
Best wishes to Lefty and LeeAnn! (Although I thought that bluesmen moved from The South, to Chicago).
As always, thinking of Bill.
Mitch
Danged ol' left-handed carpetbagger ... movin' down south to get our jobs and women! 😉
BLD, Lefty is moving to 'Bama today!
Safe travels to Lefty and Lee Ann!
Continued love and prayers to sweet Bill and his family....
Sending love and prayers to Bill and his family and friends - wish I had know the man - seems he is a very special person -
Safe travels to Lefty and Lee Ann - are you moving down south?
Careful on your trip down Lefty and LeeAnn!
Prayers, love and hugs for Bill this morning....
Good luck lefty I can't believe your deserting the Cubs!!!
Safe travels and much love to Lefty and Lee Ann.
Byard, I hope you had a good b-day.
Thinking of our friend Bill.
Safe travels Lefty & Leann
Love you guys!
Mornin' LOVE to Brother (((BILL)))
Thinking of our dear brother Bill this morning, and sending love his way!
Lana, that's a great tune, by one of the best. Made me smile to see those lyrics, especially, "Just keep them pretty legs showin', it gets hot down where we're goin' " and think about the times we listened to it "driving South" !
Best to you Lefty and LeeAnn on your journey.
:birthday: Byard!
I hope everyone has a great day!
I like that Lana... safe travels this morning to Lefty and Lee Ann!! I know they will check in when they can to let us know they *arrived* safely!! 🙂
Prayers, love and strength continues... I feel it, so be it...
Good mornin' sweet family,
Zenning much love to the dearest of dear brothers, our darling Bill. *k*
Lefty, you remind me of the song "Drive South" by John Hiatt. If it's not on your play list, it should be 🙂
Drive South
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore
That's how you learn, you just get burned
But we don't have to feel like dirt anymore
Though love's not earned, Baby it's our turn
We were always looking for true north
With our heads in the clouds, just a little off course
I left the motor running, now if you're feeling down and out
CHORUS:
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love
I'm not talkin' 'bout retreatin' little girl
Gonna take our stand, in this Chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holdin' hands, all the way to Dixieland
We've been tryin' to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids, it's been wearin' us down
Don't turn away now Darlin' lets fire it up and wind it out
CHORUS:
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love
I heard your mama callin', I think she was just stallin'
Don't know who she was talkin' to, baby me and you
We could go down with a smile on, don't bother to pack your nylons
Just keep them pretty legs showin', it gets hot down where we're goin'
We were always looking for true north
With our heads in the clouds, just a little off course
I left the motor running, now if you're feeling down and out
Come on baby drive, come on baby drive south, come on baby drive south .
:burnout:
Take care and know that you are loved,
Lana
Bill
I'm going down to Georgia in less than 12 hours to see my closest friends (Joe & Vicky, Rick, Russell, hopefully Ron and Kirk & Kirsten) in honor of one of my dearest friends. I hope that I'll be able to see Bill but if I don't at least I can spend some time with those that I cherish & love. Bill is a very special person & I consider myself one of the luckiest men on this earth that God blessed me and allowed me to be a friend of Bill and everyone else. Bill has taught me what a person should be and to give unconditional love. God has blessed me in so many ways & I need to become the best man I can be. Bill has showed me that and in the upcoming days, weeks, months and how ever long God will allow me to breathe I will try my best to honor my friend. Those who never met Bill can rest assured that any time you want, drop me a line & I'll share some of the best memories that I can share. To paraphrase what Bill said these past few months, "I don't know how I deserve this" -- with me I ask God now that same question , that he allowed Bill to come into my life. I don't think I can ever repay him for this honor.
Bill, I love you now & forever and I know you feel this as I send it out to you.
:birthday: byard! :birthday:
come on down!
