Good Old Days

Chosen by Dianne_in_Denver






I came across this video from the "good old days" from my time era. I know a lot of you are younger than I, but I am sure you will know the song and the group.

The title of the song and watching the video just reminded me of how carefree we were and didn't seem worried about much of anything.

I thought maybe with all the different things going on in each one of our lives....this song "Don't Worry Baby" would maybe take all of us back to a relaxing time in our lives.

Ha I got first! I guess I should thank menopause which had me up with a hot flash!

scirish said...

Morning LynnDeeeeeeeeeee!!! Please don't spontaneously combust....

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Dianne thank you for that this morning. I forgot how great these guys sounded. Their music is timeless. Oh and I think those pants are making a come back! LOL I think I saw the Jonas Brothers wearing them.

Lynn D said...

Morning Scrishy! I don't think there is any danger of combusting. More like glowing with perspiration, I could be a freaking fog light I am glowing so much!

scirish said...

Lynndeee...Glowing is such a nice word....I like it much better than "dripping with sweat"!!!

bonachichi said...

Good morning (?) Hooters! The Beach Boys are one of my favorite groups. An innocent time, yes. But with all of ys, the years (and fame) catch up. We have memories of the carefree time.

I am pretty much in for the night. Not a late dinner, party person myself. I connected with friends and had a great time. They of course, know the Beach Boys. We have those memories. The younger generation don't know the feeling of being able to go back and reconnect with our icons. It's old crap to them. In about 20 years, they'll appreciate it.

bonachichi said...

I forgot to say good morning to LynnD, scrish. Hope everyone can have a fantastic spring day. If it's raining, go jump in some puddles. If it's sunny, drinks by the pool.

A hearty hello for all coming in later!

Good Morning All

Good morning, LynnD, scirish, Bonacci and Tinka. Just stopping by quickly. I am meeting some friends for breakfast today. Otherwise, I'd still be sleeping.

Lynnd Congrats on first but sorry you're so hot. ;)

Dianne This is definitely from my era. Growing up in SoCal, surf music was part of the "scene" when I was a teenager. I saw the Beachboys before they were famous when they played at a community center in neighboring Azusa. I remember thinking that they were better than the usual groups that played there for teen dances. LOL

Tinkatia said...

Now I am really worried. I closed the blog for 20 minutes and there were only a few owls in the nest. I am making an appointment with my
therapist. LOL

Tinkatia said...

Ah Just-Lin - I can always rely on you showing up to keep me company. Thanks friend.

Tinkatia said...

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Lynn - Congrats on being first.

Good Morning Scirish, bonacci, and of course Just-Lin.

Tinkatia said...

Dianne - I listened to the song three times while I was making my 'fur-babies' breakfast. It had to be a special breakfast because Tia is three years old today. Where does the time go?

Tinkatia said...

Those were fun days weren't they. Driving out to the lake with the Beach Boys playing loudly on the radio. What fun memories. However I find these days are pretty much wonderful themselves. I never thought retirement could be so much fun.

Tinkatia said...

The "Walking with Dinosaurs" was fantastic last night. It's too bad it's so expensive because I would love every school child to have the opportunity to experience 'going back in time'.

Tinkatia said...

Today I am going to a Dance recital at the University. I have gone every year for the past 15 years to watch students from my school dance. Now that I no longer have students I still love to watch the little kids, especially the three year olds.

Tinkatia said...

My doggies never have people food except on their birthdays. Then I take them to McDonald's and sit on the grass while they have their plain burger. They also get presents. I guess with retirement comes senility. LOL

Tinkatia said...

Time for breakfast. Have a great day everyone. See you later. Love, Tinka

Maureen said...

Good morning feathered friends!

LYNN...I see you are glistening! Sorry it woke you up, but glad you got 1st!

SCIRISH...Good morning! How is your back doing? I hope you are getting some relief.

BONACCI...Bongiorno! I so wish I was in Italy.

JUST LIN...hope you have a fun breakfast with friends. There is something special about starting a day with friends. Enjoy!

TINKA...I love reading about the adventures you take with your family. Happy Birthday to Tia...they grow up so fast!!

Lynn D said...

Morning Tinka, Bonacci, and Just Lin!

Tinka you did not scare anyone away. I am catching up on the morning news and then I have to buckle down and get some housework done and then run errands this afternoon. I have put in so much time at the food bank this week that my house is really suffering!

Tinka a friend of mine went to the Dinosaur walk last weekend she said it was great too! The only draw back was that the tickets were $100.00 per person. 5 of them went. That is $500.00 dollars. I told her we could regenerate the dinosaurs for that kind of money! Lord!

Lynn D said...

Waving at Mo!

Tinkatia said...

Maureen - Good Morning and thank you for the compliment. I thought I was being pretty trivial. I told Tia you wished her a Happy Birthday.

Good Morning Lynn - Thanks for reassuring me about chasing people out of the nest. I just cancelled my appointment with my therapist.
So, "Walking with Dinosaurs" is just as expensive in your 'neck of the woods'. I know my grandkids wouldn't have seen it if grandpa hadn't bought the tickets. It's too much money for young families to put out. I guess it cost so much to make it they have to retrieve their money by charging high rates.
I thought of how many kids I taught the Dinosaur unit to and how much they would have benefitted from it.
Us old folks enjoyed it too.

Sandie said...

Good morning and congrats, LynnD! Hope you get all your chores done today!

Dianne, I loved that video!! Two things struck me about it. One, it made me chuckle to see the Beach Boys singing so nonchalantly, with their arms folded across their chests. Today they would have to be doing the "Beyonce" to sing. Two, girls had waists back then!! I have always wondered why we had waists and today's young girls are just straight through the midsection!! Has anyone else ever noticed this??

Zona, please stop in to tell me if hiding under the bed worked!! I must know for next week so that I can come up with Plan B if I need to. :) Thinking of you!

Tinka, happy birthday to Tia!!

I'm off to the gym and then I'm getting in the pool--90 degrees here today!!

Sandie said...

Carol, I'm reading The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb. It's our book club book this month.

I'm going to sit in my new floating chair in the pool with my book and my drink. I'll take a picture to show you. NOT!!!! LOL!

Jodi said...

Good morning HOoters!!

DIANNE - Great video....I think this is my favorite Beach Boys song!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning!!!

LYNN D - Congrats on first!!!

TINKA - Happy b'day to TIA!!

MO - So fun to talk to you the other night.....I tried so you could actually talked to GOLDIE. I think it worked as well as if I had used two cans and string!!! Next time we'll have to do a 3-way on my cell!!!

Waving a wing @ SCIRISH, BONACCI, & JUST SLIN!!!

Jodi said...

SANDIE - I guess we were typing @ the same time....a big hello from WESconsin to you!!!

ZONA - Did you bounce MR. Z off the blow up bed?!!? jk!!! The tube is lubed and ready for you!!!

GOLDIE - So sorry I wasn't able to partake in your wonderful cinnamon rolls this morning, but looking forward to hooking up with you and INGA BINGA this afternoon after SAM'S concert!!! Muah to you both!!!

Jodi said...

FORE-TY for MEK!!!

Jodi said...

Sorry I've been MIA this week, but it has been crazy here!! Baseball practices have started for the boys, and we had the first casualty of the season. JAKE was warming up playing catch with his dad and he took a ball in the kisser....poor kid, he had a HUGE fat lip the next day. Thankfully he didn't lose any teeth. And I've been up the last two nights with JAKE. He's been running a fever off and on with an icky tummy. He was feeling better before school, so he went cuz he had a field trip. Long story short, I got a call from the school. He started getting sick on the bus, so I had to go pick him up in Madison. WHEW!!!

Jodi said...

I hope everyone has a fun Saturday!! Not sunny here today, but at least the rain has stopped. We had a really bad thunderstorm during the night....at one point, it looked like a river running down my street.

Tinkatia said...

Dianne - I have been doing while work while listening to all the Beach Boy songs that are listed under your video. Makes work a lot easier. Thanks for the memories.

MEK in AZ said...

Happy saturday!!

Good Morning.......

Dianne wrote another blog in Denver!!! THANK YOU......

lynn - congrats on FIRST!! sorry about "the flash"...

Tinka - congrats on 25!!

Jodi - thanks for FORE-TY!!

waving howdy to Lynn, Scirish, bonacci, Tinka, Just Lin, MO, sandie, and jodi and all who land..

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

Tinkatia said...

Sandie - I have a theory about the girls having smaller waists back then. Do you suppose it was because we spent so much time playing with our hoola hoops? Just a thought.

Tinkatia said...

Here we go Mek.

MEK in AZ said...

didn't want you to think you were here all alone!!!
(yes, I'm a little stinker!!! - I'll say it for you!!!)

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

LOL - I just saw you "here we go" comment....

Tinkatia said...

Dianne -I just re-read one of my comments. It should have said
"my work" instead of "while work". I must be more careful or else the owls will thinking I am spiking my morning tea.

Tinkatia said...

Mek - I would rather lose while competing than marching all alone. Thanks for the fun.

Tinkatia said...

Sandie - I envie your being able to lie about in the pool today. It is sunny here but the best I can do is lie in the Hot Tub set at 104 degrees. Ah summer time when will you be here????????

Tinkatia said...

Hi Jodi - We have had some storms at night too. I think of the homeless sleeping under the downtown bridge and it makes me sad.

Morning/afternoon everyone!

Congrats on 1st Lynn D!

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

I'll check out your blog now Dianne.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Dianne that was a great video! I laughed my ass off because I pictured each girl as a different owl! Too funny. The one girl that was shaking everything she had by herself made me think of Mary. I don't know why. I even saw K-girl surfing and Goldie and Jody talking. Lol!!

Great video!

Jodi said...

SHIRLEY - Great march!! You saw me in the video....how fun!!! Was I wearing tassles?!!?

whabbear said...

Hi, everybody! Dianne, I love the BB too.... God Only Knows is just a great popular music classic, and Good Vibrations isn't far behind!

Tink: Sorry about all that bad weather up there... it's bumming KFC out too!

Mary/MI said...

Happy Saturday! The rain finally quit here and the sun is coming out. I have been congested all week. My allergies are driving me crazy!

LynnD,glad you made #1, but sorry about your sweat glands lol!

Tinka, give Tia a Birthday hug for me.

Carol,loved the video. We had the BB in our little town by accident. They thought they were booked for Ithaca NY, when it was actually our dinky town of Ithaca MI. They played at our,then, upstairs bowling ally.I don't think they were any too happy. That vid could have been taken there by the looks of their faces and mannerisms lol!

Shirley,that WAS me! lol! I was built like a brick shit house back then, my poor bricks got rearranged, and not for the better! :(

Mary/MI said...

Shirley,ok, I lied, that wasn't me lol!!

Have a great day everyone. I am going to spend most of the day packing.

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi...Glad you are all enjoying the video and blog today. It sure did bring back a lot of memories but TINK...good thought about how nice retirement is also.

Needless to say, we didn't have many beaches to grow up around in Colorado so it was fun when we were able to visit some family in Washington and then go to the beach. It always (as I remember) seemed cold but hey, we were kids and nothing was too cold in those days. I did watch all the Beach Party movies tho' with Annette, Frankie, Gidget, etc., so maybe that counted for something towards my memories.

ZONA: How are things going? I tried to send you a funny picture by text last night but for some reason it won't go through.

TINA: So your family must be there by now too. You still haven't answered me about if all the prom things are up and ready to go. I guess they had better be by now. :)

MARY: I am trying to pack too. I haven't even started but my husband did get out the suitcase. I am finishing up the wash. I wonder why when I take a trip I think my house has to be left perfect. I don't just mean cleaned and picked up...I think I have to clean kitchen drawers, etc., and then I wonder why I am packing at 3AM. When do you leave? Did you get the route yet from Mr MARY?

Dianne/Denver said...

P.S. Thanks for all the comments on my blog today. I appreciate it and love reading everyone's thoughts.

Just_Lin said...

Dianne LOL that you clean kitchen drawers before going on a trip. Maybe it's just another way to procrastinate and not pack. :)

Dianne/Denver said...

JUST/LIN: I sm sure you are right. Just like I should not be on this computer now. We have to leave in two hours for a wedding so I need to pack. I did make a list during the week (I am good at that).

Dianne/Denver said...

MARY: The good thing about packing for a road trip (even for two weeks) is that you don't have to weigh your suitcase before "boarding".

Just_Lin said...

Dianne Lists are good! Just make sure you've got medication, underwear and toiletries. At least no one is going to charge you for your suitcase. United now charges $15 for one bag!

East Bay J said...

Happy Saturday, hooters!

Dianne-not-packing-in-Denver, I love the Beach Boys! What a great video to post!

I saw them years and years ago at the old Kezar Stadium in SF (I think that's where they played). I have always loved their songs.

Congrats on 1st today Lynn!

I have a couple days of blogs to catch up on. I will bbl.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far!

WISHING ALL THE OWL MOMMIES A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.

I'm not sure I will get a chance to be on the computer tomorrow, so I'm sending out the above wish today. :O)

Tinkatia said...

I will join Jodie in wishing all owl mothers a Happy Mother's Day. I am off to bed. It was a fun day today and tomorrow is a really big day. Good Night and God Bless Us All. Love, Tinka

Maureen said...

Hi all.

Sorry I was MIA all day. I had a horrible dream that woke me up at 5 this morning and I just couldn't shake it all day. It is still bothering me. I posted earlier today, trying to get my mind off of it, but that didn't work. Oh well.

I hope all you mommies have a beautiful Mother's Day.

Maureen said...

DIANNE...have a safe and fun trip.

ZONA...hope you have come out from under the bed!

Just_Lin said...

MO I HATE when I have a dream like that. I hope it is fading away now.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother Owls. Have a wonderful day. Make sure you tell your Moms you love them...you never know when it could be the last chance you get. ((((((HUGS)))))

Dianne, your post about cleaning before you leave on a trip...I do the same thing! Mr. B alway's ask's WHY, I tell him, Well, if the house catches fire, at least the firemen will know it Was clean. Make's it easier for the burglar's to find stuff too! j/k

Plus, when I get back...nothing to do but unpack and relax!

Have a great trip!

Jodi said...

MO - So sorry you had such a disturbing dream. That must be very unsettling. I hope you slept better last night!!

MEK - Holy crap....isn't it a bit early to be 102?!!?

Birdee said...

Morning Jodi! Sorry, I can't see it right now....Keep getting a security pop up and Mr. B is not sure why it say's something about a "transaction" when we click on it....hopefully he will get it...
