Funny, I was thinking about The Kingston Trio earlier. She'd play albums on the HiFi while we cleaned house and she loved them! Plus Helen Reddy and Sonny and Cher.

When I think of The Kingston Trio I always think of "Where have all the flowers gone." I know Peter, Paul and Mary sang it also and even Marlene Dietrich, who did English, French and German versions.

Good morning Cafe.
Coffee is on the stove.
Just below freezing overnight here.
Blue sky and sunshine now.
Grave digging this morning.

I'm sorry to learn of Dink's death Shadrach. She was a brave little girl to the end.

My mom loved the Kingston Trio, played it a lot on the big stereo in the living room. The only song I remember from them is the MTA one. "Oh he'll never return, no he'll never return, and his fate is still unlearned. He will ride forever neath the streets of Boston, he's the man that never returned"...that one.

Good morning & thanks for the coffee.

I must have missed something, whose grave are you digging Shad?

Yes I remember it being quite popular.

Thanks for the link. That's a thread I don't follow so didn't see it. So sorry about your girl.

Goodmorning all. Thanks for the coffee, Shad. The pot was getting low so I made another. I brought some eclairs and various fruit pastries.
Happy Valentine's day. May have to go find me one. I'm sooo lonely. Hahaha. I remember some comedian saying that all the time.

Thanks Pert! Pastry sounds nice.

Oh my eclairs - hope they are all gone by now so I'm not tempted.

The plane finally took off about 10:40 or just before and we got here around maybe 12:30, 12:40ish local time (1:30 EST) and then we had to wait for our bag (we were dumb and checked one, had 2 carry ons, the checked one barely had anything in it. Probably should have only taken the carry on, waiting was annoying. But that’s okay. Now we can buy stuff at the mall. then we were waiting for a hotel shuttle but it never came so finally after like 10, 20 mins we just took a taxi. Airport is only half a mile away from hotel. Then of course I wasn’t really tired when I got here LOL so I didn’t get to sleep till around 2:20, 2:30 (3:30 our time) so I was pretty exhausted. Slept until just before 11 though, which is 12pm/noon our time, so I had a good sleep lol we are a little bit slow moving though, still finishing breakfast/lunch in the room, now noon their time. But we will get moving soon. Thinking we are going to go to the mall today. Mall of America. And we will have a nice say today. Lots of frustrations yesterday between the delayed flight, waiting for a shuttle that never came (despite them saying it did), waiting for the bag, getting here so late, etc. etc. BUT we will not let it affect today and am making it a good day. And now I feel rested and energized and ready to check out the mall. My mom on the other hand didn’t really sleep, would sleep for a bit but kept waking up she says, while I was out like a light the entire time lol but she has been drinking some coffee and Coke (not together) and will drink some more coffee and probably be fine.
