Many of you have asked where in the world I've been.
All I know is that after 7 plus years of blogging and a different lappy, which I don’t like, I seem to have lost my blogging fervor.
Someday, when you least expect it, I will post again.
For those of you still waiting I say thank you.
Meanwhile, I am rather prolific on twitter. Find me: @KeethaB

To name my "Grand Old Dame."
But you, my bloggy partners
Gave her much more than a name,
You gave her a poignant story
And one sweet hour of fame.
Thank You

Quotes of Note
You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown
"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell
"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010
"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"
"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer
"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"
"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Those brought back some memories. While they werent from my era, it was one I could appreciate. I used to sing that Big Bad John song to my brother Jon. Of course he hated when I did it, so I did it pretty often! LOL
AMEN! This was music!
That they did! Hot Rod Lincoln is one of my all time favorite songs. I am partial to the remake by Commander Cody, although I greatly enjoyed the original well.
will have to play these for the husby
I never knew that Hot Rod Lincoln was from someone else than Commander Cody & Lost Planet Airmen. I like this version too now.
Hi Keetha! It's our growing season, so I haven't been doing as much blog reading as usual. I'm taking the day off from our fields today...too hot for me! I have been reading your blog this morning, finally caught up again...love this tree story, love that you were at camp and I have found a present for my sister in your postcard enlargements...she will love that. And I have a chipmunk friend too this year, no Buster to give him the run for his money! Good chatting with you today!
Hahaha, this is great. This is what music is supposed to be, although i will admit that rap or rock is my music of choice when I'm working out.
This was definitely music, sister!
I just can't even get into the rap crap.
Thanks for the memories - and the laughs! Wasn't it nice to be able to UNDERSTAND what was being said - and all without any foul language, too!
Love all these songs and (bonus!) 'Big Bad John' was kinda my dad's self-appointed theme song since he was John and he was a big man.
Fun songs! (Rap's grandpa, hehe...)
Ah, the 60's! Just the screenshot of your post looks gorgeous to me. Always a pleasure walking down nostalgia lane! LOVED the songs and - Steve Martin (!) in the MCcall video.
Have to bookmark this page :D
Oh, Thanks, Keetha! What a pleasure!
