GUT MITWOK Uncle Andy ~ ANGELA here. Love the MUSIC to start the day. Thanks for cracking the CODE - It looked familiar I often type like that when Im shattered. Id translated it from Serbo Croat ! Love todays POEM - Mention of the RIVER & LOVE again they are very contiguous ! WE got up early this moerning to catch Pole Position with MASQUERADE ! Do you find everyone wearing MASKS rather surreal ? We do - funny even !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey XOX

I\'ve heard of breaded cod but not coded haiku - still puzzling.

I notice young Joan (M.E.) has picked up her camera today.

You must have a huge collection. Do you play vinyl? Are you of the persuasion that vinyl has a fuller richer more natural quality than CD. Or is your hearing more attuned to the crispness of digital recording assuming your auditory faculty is not failing with age of course.

Birdsong is still as sweet as ever it was when we listen.

July 13th, 2020 05:01

Got That.
Michael Edwards said:

No mention of Orchidee\'s latest recording? Bit like Buzzfeed - I did two quizes on line so they could guess my age and name. The result: I am 17 years old and my name is Joan.

It\'s Your Road.
dusk arising said:

Comfortably we walk among friends and feel the strength of their being. But when misfortune lands or physical pain tears through our bones we bear that alone. However we overcome the bumps along our path stays with us, becomes us.
We become the path we trod.

orchidee said:

Good write Andy.
Tricky on some \'paths\' involving tracks, or even un-marked tracks (it\'s not on the map, this route!).
I have some strange walks. If I wish, it can be through cow field, or horse field, or through the middle of farmland! All on \'permitted paths\'.
Middle of nowhere even - a not well-used track with 6 ft grass either side of me.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning UNCLE ANDY - No WORK today and Suns Shining - AMEN. Getin used to BRIAN being less like a Hippy (see Picture & Poem) and more like a Businessman ! Andy Williams (1927 ~ 2012 & 17 Gold Albums) is one of my fave Ballad Singers - Love this Song ! Its true as you say we are all on own Individual Road - Cradle to Grave to Glory. I thanks GOD for the last three years Brian has been with me and will be for eternity ! Love the Poem a FAVE _ AMEN

Blessings & Peace to You & Your Family
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey XOXOX

Hi GF

Yup, I’ve had those same revelations about myself. Seems as we age (68) we are better able at seeing our flaws. Can’t go back but hopefully such introspection will help us do better moving forward.
Great write.

Being self employed soon knocks that out of your system but it doesn\'t help when it has become established in your partners lifestyle.
Disappointments ensue.

I saw a comedy show with a posh wife. She said \'Oh, I suppose SOME people have to work weekends!\' She was too posh to do so.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Brian here ~ Good Thursday Uncle ANDY. Thank for a very soothing Vdeo ! I have a Cousin who is a Classical Cellist and her Sister a Classical Pianist. They always play for Family High Days and this is one of their duets ~ PERFECTION !
Sins of Omission ~ A regret in everyones Life. *Leaving undone - that which we could have done - and ought to have done ! * Angel & I are young enough to take that to Heart. During LOCKDOWN I have been assiting Mum & Dad in the Garden ~ Cupranolling Shed & Fences and also My In-Laws ! Thanks for sharing VID & VERSE.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela & Smokey !

What do you think? I feel that church needs maybe a Minster more of the congregation\'s age. Or at least, not so hellfire. Not that are wrapped in cotton wool, but supportive. One more passed away recently - it can\'t be helped. They often sing Happy (90th) birthday to one or the other there.

orchidee said:

Yet it\'s included in a \'Formal Prayer\': \'Forgive us - we have done those things we ought not to have done; and have left undone those things we ought to have done\'.
But not all the time - I feel an elderly congregation gets brow-beaten by the Minister. They have hell-fire and damnation type sermons every week - \'Repent, you miserable sinners!\' \'Erm, we already have\' is the reply.

Not a Bad House.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ EVENING UNCLE ANDY ~ Love the Pathos in the Music - it matches the satire in your very sumtuous Poem. We all have experiences with the Good & the Great ~ Staying in Stately Homes and dining @ the Top Table @ Oxbridge Colleges & The Captains Table on Cruises ! In this life its often not what one knows but whom. As far as Angela & I are concerned we are very content with our home & (safe) job opportunitues and our families & Friends and our Church & our 24/7 relationship with God ! I guess we would be considered successful Middle Class ! When we do rub shoulders with the Landed Gentry & Rich & Famous we do know how to conduct ourselves and enjoy the opportunity. On balance we are very content to be *The People we are* with *The Families & Frends we have* and *Place we live in* and the *Jobs & Socisl Life* we enjoy ! Spiritually we feel as Evangelical Christians that *We are in touch with God*. We are in Jobs which are an asset to the Community and are content with our Salaries which gives us some excess to share with those less fortunate than ourselves. Thanks for your Poem ~ it made us think about our own station in LIFE ~ AMEN

Blessings & peace to You & Yours
Love ~ Brin & Angela & Smokey !
