Too Windy to Fly

Often I think of traveling with my family across country in the old days 

when it was cheaper for a family of six to drive than to fly.

On one of these cross-country treks a song kept coming on the radio,

and when I hear it, I always think of toddlers and desert sunlight and VW buses.

Wendy, Wendy what went wrong

Oh so wrong

We went together for so long

I never thought a guy could cry

'Til you made it with another guy

Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone

Hurt so bad

Wendy, Wendy don't lose your head

Lose your head

Wendy don't believe a word he says

I can't picture you with him

His future looks awful dim

Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone

Hurt so bad

Wendy I wouldn't hurt you like that

No no no

I thought we had our love down pat

Guess I was wrong

The farthest thing from my mind

Was the day that I'd wake up to find

My Wendy

Wendy left me alone

Wendy, Wendy left me alone

Hurts so bad

Wendy, Wendy left me alone

Hurts so bad

Wendy, Wendy left me alone

Hurts so bad

Wendy, Wendy...

On Blue Bayou

I feel so bad I got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles, saving dimes

Working 'til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I'll feel better again

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles, saving dimes

Working 'til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Oh, that boy of mine

By my side

The silver moon

And the evening tide

Oh, some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurting inside

Well or (Will ??)

I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou

Lost in the Woods

As is my habit lately, I'm late.

This offering is from the April Revamped Event,

which ends today.

Knowing the designer, though, I'm sure

this wonderful dress (and its other color versions)

will be available at the store soon, if not already.

My pics can't do this gypsy-feel dress and large bag justice.

You have to see this dress and the other versions

in order truly to appreciate the designer's lovely creations.

I love the Countryside sim, 

and cannot resist using it as a setting.

Just a brief walk in these woods

or to other destinations on the sim

make the troubles and stresses of the world 

evaporate like rays of sunshine in deep woods.

Black Magic Woman

Don't turn your back on me baby

Don't turn your back on me baby

Yes, don't turn your back on me baby

You're messin' around with your tricks

Don't turn your back on me baby

'Cause you might just break up my magic stick

You got your spell on me baby

You got your spell on me baby

Yes, you got your spell on me baby

You're turning my heart into stone

I need you so bad, magic woman, I can't leave you alone

Yes, I need you so bad

Well, I need you darling

Yeah, I need you darling

Yes, I want you love me

I want you love me

Whoa, I want you love me, ah

Whoh, yeah

Oh, whoa, baby

Yes, I need your love

Oh, I need your love so bad

I want you love me

Call me crazy!

I love Haute Couture and Avant Garde,

Casual Chic - Spring 2016

The second part of my latest class assignment

is to style a Casual Chic outfit using the Spring 2016 colors.

I love chunky jewelry and short skirts,

so I used those things and added a short denim jacket

and bright wedge sandals.

 

And for my lipstick I chose the rage this spring --

candy apple red.

Deadline Looming

Every writer knows what it's like 

to have a deadline looming

and not be ready.

That is me this week.

Nothing like staring at the typewriter

or out the door into the distance

to make a writer appreciate 

the presence of her muse.
