Corona Thoughts, part 36 (Love Never Dies)

4.24.2020

Friday.

As I have said before, these days are running together and it is hard to keep things straight.  It will be nice when this semester is over to provide for a fresh start.

Morning consisted of a bit of time on the porch with coffee, and Sadie and I planted a few watermelon seeds.  She did some homework, Stephanie managed her class, and I did some of the same.  Dad needed some help framing a new implement shed, and I told him I was putting "house framer" on my resume.

When the work was done, more porch sitting.  We are getting good at that.  I picked a bit and think I figured out Darling Nellie Gray in the key of D.  I also spent a little time looking into summer vacation.  We are leaning toward Fort Robinson, NE, again. Sadie played with Emma until storms threatened, but they did not amount to much here.

After supper, Brandon invited us up for a movie on the lawn.  Storms passed to the south, and did not affect us at all besides some wind which shifted from the north.  Andrew Lloyd Webber has been releasing videos of stage productions on YouTube hoping to generate contributions to the actors.  Tonight's was Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom of the Opera.  It was interesting, to say the least.










We got home late, and Wilson Fairchild announced the passing of Harold Reid, the bass voice of the Statler Brothers.  I grew up listening to the quartet, and I must admit I always hoped for a return of such an important part of my childhood.  Not to be now.  

But from his life, I am fairly certain where he is tonight.  Such an inspiration! Rest in Peace.

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
