Time seems to be speeding up on me and I have so many photos and thoughts I have thought about adding to my blog because I sincerely haven’t forgotten the lovely people who read and comment on my blog.
Well, I keep on thinkin’ ’bout you
Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can’t live without you
Can’t you see it in my eyes?
I’ve been one poor correspondent
And I’ve been too, too hard to find
But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thanks to Linda for the”little boot” to post today – ♥ – you’ve been on my mind too 🙂

I had it on my calendar to remember Jim Henson today. He was born September 24th, 1936 and he began his puppeteer magic in high school. Surprising eh?
What a legacy he left of bringing smiles and laughter to millions and millions.
Not forgotten and definitely living on in the hearts and twinkling eyes of children and adults everywhere; Happy birthday Jim.
Yip yip yip – there are so many fun characters that Jim Henson created or inspired but the Martians make me smile.
In this short skit – the Martians discover a telephone on earth and try to communicate with the ringing phone by looking at their earth dictionary and making sounds. (look it the old dial tone – that brings back memories) ♥
Closing thought – I gave a speech last week in Toastmasters called Train, Trust, and Jump.
In the speech I talked about these three principles as I gave the group their final instructions (make believe) before they take their first flying trapeze lesson.
I remind them of the voice commands they will hear including “Ready” (bend knees) and Hup (go!)
If there is something “dear reader” that is on your mind to do, a place to visit, something to try; I hope you begin the process soon – life slips away fast.
Ready, Hup ! (flying trapeze commands♥) – Bend your knees and don’t hesitate – JUMP!
Hugs to you guys – ♥ David

Will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little?
Just enough to show you care?
Well, I tried to fake it

Train, Teach and Jump – great instructions and inspiration to start when it comes to our wish list. Love the pictures and catching up with you, David!

I love your comments Wynne and the little photo of your smiling face when you respond.
Yes I agree, Train to grow and increase our confidence. The second word should be Trust – trust ourselves, and trust our trainers, coaches, and lastly Jump. Only when we leap do we truly benefit, receive the magic. If we only climb to the ladder but never leap – we miss the music!

David, I knew you had some great pictures secreted away to share! I’m glad you are catching up on your blog, and I’m especially happy to hear of the birth of a new granddaughter. What a gift for “pop pop!” How fun to remember Jim Henson. You and I are indeed kindred spirits; he is one of my heroes!👏😊

You are absolutely right. I have a ton of photos from special days in the summer. Quotes, song lyrics and photos all tucked away for writing about. I have also been trying to keep up steady reading. I just read a biography about a Canadian from Nelson BC who died a few days before the end of the WWII. He was a hero but despite all the recognition for his heroism, I could not shake the fact that his parents and friends would rather have had him be less heroic and came home.
I suspect we could share laughs about muppets Linda, including the grumpy old men. Hugs
