HERE'S TO YOU MONDAY

SURPRISE. Drum roll please. I present to you HERE'S TO YOU MONDAY. With love. I bet you are thinking that this post is NEVER going to land on a Thursday again.  Or be weekly again.  It might not.  I am still having difficulty getting my stuff together.  I can only say that I hope *someday* that it becomes a weekly Thursday post.  Until then, it is just a surprise post.  And we are all just grateful.  Or I hope we are.  Anyway, here it is.  XOXOXO.

Here is the recap of what is going on...

This used to be a weekly event landing typically on Thursdays. It is my hope that it will be a weekly event again some day... The best (or worst) part is that I am not going to explain why I chose "whatever" footage for each of you. If, you watch your footage and are scratching your head at the end, well that means I didn't do a very good job. However, all is not lost. You can email me at rarichards68@gmail.com and ask me what I was thinking when I chose that particular piece of footage off of youtube and connected it to you. And then I will tell you. Then I will start sending up prayers that I haven't offended the crap out of whoever is on the receiving end of that email....lol. Because, honestly, I will tell you right now... I admire all of you enormously so I really hope that doesn't happen.

Also, this is not an exclusive venture by any means. I hope that you will take the time to watch ALL of the footage because I don't pick bad footage:-) I also hope that you might check out the blog of the person I dedicated the footage to because they are pretty darn awesome. If you haven't figured this out yet... I pick the footage based on something that you've written or something that I've gleaned from your personality. Think on that for a while... If you are having trouble watching the entire video (meaning it is being cut off on one side), click on it a couple of times and it will take you straight over to youtube. If you click on the four squares at the bottom corner of the video, it will enlarge it to fill your screen. The escape key will bring it back to normal size. The back arrow will bring you back to my page.

Now, let's get this PARTY STARTED!!!!

  1. You bet! I loved watching young people singing it. I am still considering moving to Wyoming to become a Cowboy. My wife won't do it, but I'm sure I would like my neighbors.

    1. Well... that too. But I was actually thinking of your post about your father's generation. "Back when a hoe was a hoe, a Coke was a Coke, and crack's what you were doing when you were cracking jokes, back when a screw was a screw, the wind was all the blew, and when you said 'I'm down with that' it meant you had the flu. I miss back when."

  3. Thanks! What a beautiful video. Reminds me so much of how many times I have that moment when I'm doing something so cool or fun or whatever and suddenly think about why can't a person that I love so much just get it together enough to enjoy life? This is not a bad thing. Just part of the deal for me. Just part of what it's like to experience life when it was once so far from my reach and now I wish it for everyone I have ever loved.
    I am the fortunate one. Believe me I know this. For all the wonder and beauty in my life and for all the fantastic people I know- you of course being one of them. We will meet up again and we will cause some havoc. I know it!

  5. You know what? Nothing nicer has ever been said about me, much less sung. I needed that. I really did. Even Stud pointed at me and said "That's YOU alright. How'd she figure you out so quickly? It took ME years to!"

    Thank you.

You can now add YouTube videos in your comments by copy/pasting the link. AND/OR you can insert an image by surrounding the code with this: [im]code[/im]. In the case of images, make sure that your code is short and simple ending with something like .jpg. If you want to use a pic from someplace like Google Images, click on the image, then click on View Image. That is the code you want!
