Crazy weather we're all having, isn't it? The strange thing for us is that it's actually kind of nice where I live. Usually, in January and February we're having single digits and sub-zero temperatures. It's been in the high 30's/low 40's (F) this week!
We had a three way tie for last week's funniest photo, so I'm not posting a picture this week. If you haven't seen the post yet, here is the link.
And here's this week's photos!
| Such cute little faces! |

| Duck dog! |

| Busted! |
And the pun!
You know what's been making me happy lately? It's the song Sugar, Sugar by the Archies. Bubblegum pop from the late 1960's has been putting a smile on my face. I think part of the reason is because it reminds me of my sister. She got me into Motown (Sam Cooke and The Temptations were some favorites) and some of the Bubblegum pop (The Monkees, Herman's Hermits.) I think she would have loved the video I share below. Ron Dante (the singer and voice of Archie) is just adorable.
When we were in high school, we went to the 33rd Anniversary of Rock and Roll (which at that time meant music from the 50's, 60's and 70's), and got to see Herman's Hermits, Three Dog Night, and many other old rock groups. I even got to dance with a Coaster - he pulled me out of the audience like a Bruce Springsteen video. Definitely one of the high points of my life! So, lots of happy memories to go along with a happy song.
I love the lines "I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you," and "Like the summer sunshine, pour your sweetness over me." It makes my romantic little heart go pitter-pat, even still. Such beautiful wording.
Okay, back to the photos. My favorite is the pot holder dog. The others I kind of chuckled at, but the pot holder dog made me laugh...hard!
Did you have a favorite this week?
Have an excellent weekend!
That cat and the chicken one is terrific.
ReplyDeleteI like that type of music too. Due to my parents listening to oldies when we were growing up. Funny enough, Lincoln stumbles upon songs like that when listening to music. And I tell him, Grandma and Grandpa used to listen to that. He loves The Lion Sleeps Tonight. And can't think of the others right now.
Happy Friday!
I love the Lion Sleeps Tonight! It's such a beautiful melody and, while I have no idea who sang it, the guy's voice was amazing.
DeleteI agree, cat and chicken! Perfect timing with that picture. hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteIt's face is priceless. You can hear it say "What? I wasn't doing anything."
DeleteThey are all great...I love the snow cone of shame, but just because I love Corgi's.
ReplyDeleteCorgis are pretty cool dogs. I have a friend who has one. I hear they're pretty smart!
DeleteOh too funny this week! Robert loves the cat/chicken and I love the snow cone of shame, although we both love the parrots. Stay warm Lara! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Robert came back! :D Thanks for voting and I'm definitely bundling up. It's the darn wind that's freezing us!
DeleteI went to one of those "oldies" concerts once. I remember hearing Herman's Hermits too and several other old legends. Was fun!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was the same concert tour. Wouldn't that be funny?!
DeleteLiked the birds, but the Captain's Log really cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm an old fogey, but in my opinion, there's a gulf as wide as an ocean between Rock & Roll (pre-Beatles) and Rock (starting with Beatles). To me, Rock is mainly loud noise with weak singing and mumbled words, while Rock & Roll centered around great love songs.
Hi, David! Rock has definitely branched off with each genre (I can't think of the music word right now for genre) putting it's own spin on the style. :) I'll put you down for Captain's log!
