Project Black #9 ~ The Who




This is my #9 Project Black post!

Visit Anna's site to see others.

~~~

There are still many Project Black possibilities around my place but today my thoughts turn to one of my favorite music groups ~The Who!

I have this neat little framed poster/picture that my grandson Zach gave me last Christmas and it is in my view whenever I'm in the kitchen area!

;) That's most of the time as this room is also where my computer is located! :)

Not that I need much in reminders as far as 'The Who' are concerned. I get the urge to play their music quite often with my cds or searching out Youtube vids online! That's what I did last night until way late....watched videos on Youtube.

A friend had sent E-mails telling me The Who had announced another tour for this fall! It seems to be a bit limited...well, so far anyway...with not a lot of dates and locations listed as yet; mostly in the NE and Ca. No dates listed near us!

Oh, well! I can't plan another WHO concert anyway! Lol! I was pushing my luck last year, getting Charles to take me to see them for the very first time, in Tampa!
(Even though our daughter bought us the tickets!)

Charles said he wouldn't do it again if someone
paid him $1000.00! :) Really! He said that! :) LOL- So you see it could get quite expensive for me to swing another WHO concert!
(He's definitely NOT a Rock fan! )

But I have become a huge WHO fan!

Here are some pics from last year when we had the once in a lifetime chance of seeing this legendary band!

At least one of us was thrilled! (Hint- the one with the smiley face!) :)

My intention as we started out was to play C. some choice WHO music on the way to Tampa, to get him in the right frame of mind!!

You've heard of best laid plans....??





Here we are at the motel and on the way to the venue!

LOL - A contrast!














And here am I ~ Junie-Who fan ~ about to enjoy a great show!

I was not disappointed, in the least! I was on my feet the whole time! Funny how, tho that was my first ever WHO concert, I knew exactly how a true WHO fan was supposed to act! haha!













I found these videos of the musical tribute show that was put together after '9-11' which included a lot of music groups.
I watched several parts of 'The Who's performance at that event!

I watched Billy Joel, also, among others!

It was a very touching show but brought back all those memories of those dark days!
(Not that they are EVER gone from our minds!)



Here is one song for you to enjoy!

A Summer Warning!

I got this from a niece recently.....a warning worth reading and heeding!

~~~


She says...

"I hate it when people forward bogus warnings. I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally...but this one is real, and it's important.

So please send this warning to everyone on your email list."

~~~


"If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for TICKS due to the Spring/summer weather and asks you to take your clothes off and spin around with your arms
up.....


DO NOT DO IT!!


THIS IS A SCAM!!



They only want to see you naked.
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday…I feel so stupid."

















DO blondes have more fun?

YEP!! :)













Love & Hugs,

Junie Rose

Project Black # 5 ( at Tammy's house!)




This is my Project Black post #5.

For other participants in this color project, please visit Anna Carson~ here!


~~~





This is a shot of my daughter's chair and table legs! :) I love the shadows and the mix of the different shapes of this table and chairs!


~~~

I love visiting my daughter's house because of the unique way she has with her home decor! She has an artists eye of putting things together that always surprises and brings me pleasure!

I want to share just a little here of their home!

The home they bought in Orlando, in College Park area, is about 80 years old! It's a small, 2 bedroom, bungalow type. They love it and I love visiting them there and seeing all the things they do. They want to keep it original, as much as possible. They redid the wood floors and did a really good job of it! (see in first photo)

This is a picture of a window from outside. I love the texture of the walls and those old type windows!












And while we're outside, let me show you this fantastic flower!

This is a Gloriosa Lily! I have a yellow one but I like this RED one better!! Hope I can get one of this color started soon! This is a fantastic flower!


























This is my yellow one! Very pretty... but.....
LOL!
OK! I'm greedy! I want a RED one too!! :)


~~~ Will have to continue when we get back from going out to eat! I still have some things to show you all! :)

...to be continued a little later tonight...


Love,

Junie

OK- Here it is later .

We went and had a chicken sandwich at Checkers and I'm fortified sufficiently to finish my post! :)

Did you doubt me??? hahaha

~~~

The rest of my show and tell are little tidbits of the inside of the house.

Such as...













Isn't that doll a beauty! Tammy is not into doll collecting but has just this one!
She looks like an American Indian Princess...but I'm not sure. I just know she's VERY
BEAUTIFUL! :)


The guitars are Zach's . He loves music! :)


Have a good night!

Zach's Birthday~ a happy one!




We had a good time visiting with the 'Orlando kids' yesterday and I think Zach had a good birthday!

(Zach and his mom-Tammy)


The food was excellent as usual! Terry served us big steaks this time- from the grill! Best I've ever had!! I forgot to get a picture of the main meal! LOL- I guess we were all just thinking about getting into that good food ASAP! I only got a picture of the cake which was very delicious -and very pretty too! (And with 21 candles on it!!) :( Hey! You just have to forgive this granny thing with me! I can't help but feel a little sad that my 'grands' are grown up!







However- have to tell you Zach is as sweet and loving toward the family as he ever was. He seems to truly enjoy spending time with everyone whenever we get together! He's a kid (young man, now) that we are very proud of!


Here are some more pics of Zach and all of us!
( Except my son who asked me not to post pictures of him!! LOL- Party pooper that he is!!)










Charles and I gave Zach a gift of $$$
but I also gave him that old record album
he's holding from my collection!
It's Pink Floyd, 'Dark Side of the Moon!'
He likes old classic rock and likes to collect the old albums!





























A good day! :)


Love,

Ginga
