This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
I had sent this video to MICHAEL earlier this year knowing that he loves Les Mis. He said it was one of the songs he wanted sung at his funeral. Thank you for posting it TINA ♥
That was a lovely tribute to Michael. I can hardly see the screen to type. I believe Michael is happy now and no longer in pain but I will miss talking to him on the blog. We had some fun interactions. It isn't the same without him.
Good Morning Lynn and Jodi. I am joining you in raising my glass of Tropicana to Michael.
Good Morning Jodi and Just_Lin - I was going to watch the video again and decided not too. I have been "teary eyed" all morning. Jodi, did you bring a supply of tissues?
Just_Lin - Changed my clocks but my body is still on daylight time. I have had my Slim Fast and in a little while I am going down for my nap. It's cloudy and rainy, a good day for a good cry.
JODI: Washing clothes..still..and not watching football..HA!..Randy turned it off..he's just so disappointed with his team..I tried to tell him it's just a game..he harrummpphhed and went outside..oh well..
Just woke up but I am not sure what I feel like doing today.
Dianne - It takes me a week to get used to the new time.
jodi - Thanks for the link and the tissues. I just read it. It will be a sad funeral. He was so young. My niece was born June 1957 so she is just a few months younger than Michael.She is fighting colon and liver cancer. I won't even entertain the thought of losing her. She will beat it!!!!!
Zona - Leave the wash until Monday (Isn't Monday wash day? it used to be.) Curl up with a good book and forget about the game. Keep lots of snacks and diet coke nearby. I think that's what I am going to do.
Just_Lin - I am curled up by the fire but instead of a good book I am playing on my farms. I am trying to keep my mind off many things one of which is the fact that Tia was diagnosed with diabetes last week. She needs an insulin shot twice a day. I am trying to stay positive about it. If I research it I find out too many things that can happen to her. I have been bracing myself for a couple of years for the possibility of losing Tango because she is over 15. I can't bear the thought of losing Tia. I thought she would be here for years. I have decided that I will just take one day at a time. Maybe they will live to be 20 and break a record.
Last Thursday I reached out to Michael's sister Janet on fb. She has been very gracious. I invited her to read todays blog. She and her sister had heard the song, and it will b sung at Michael's funeral tomorrow. These are her words for all of us.
I have been on the blog before. Michael had shown it to me and I enjoyed seeing the postings. I know he will be missed and it is wonderful to see that people truly cared for him and enjoyed his postings! He really had an opinion on things and never shied from expressing it. Thanks for all of you who loved him.
I signed the guestbook, too, and also reached out to Janet. Yes, she has been very gracious.
HOdi Thanks for posting thre message from Michael's sister. I feel like I had a conversation with him everyday for years. It will be odd to no longer get his unique take on things.
Good Evening owls. We were very fortunate tonight to have my friend bring us dinner. She brought us meat loaf friday and chicken and dressing tonight. It was a very nice surprise. I'm not feeling great today for some reason. My knee hurts more and my tummy feels a little queasy too. This will be better soon.
Tink, I try to do what you say with taking on day at a time. I wish I was better at doing that advice.
Thanks for the link Jodi. I too wrote in the guest book. It's also nice that Michaels sister read our blog today.
Tink, try not to worry too much about Tia. I'm sure she will be fine on her insulin and with all the love you give her.
Tina, I'm with JL and sending you a great big squeeze hug.
Dianne - If I remember the last time I had an operation, recovery is not in a straight line. Some days will be better than others. Suddenly you will realize you haven't had a bad day for a long time. Then you will rejoice. You have been through an awful ordeal. I think you did extremely well.
I try to live one day at a time but I slip too. It's easier to say it than to do it. Thanks for the kind words about Tia. We are getting used to giving her insulin. It was scary at first. Zona kept reassuring me that I could do it. Thanks Zona.
Dianne I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Just remember to take it one day at a time and pretty soon you will be good as new.
Tinka I used to hate it when I had to give my cats shots but you get used to it after a while and more comfortable about it all. I'm so glad you're able to provide this level of care to Tia.
Just wanted to drop by and say hello. Not much to say on this end. Had a good sleep and not really ready to wake up but I set alarm as my nephew and pt are on schedule today.
I imagine a lot of us have been thinking about Michael today. I always think the saddest night for the family is the night after the funeral. There is a strange silence that can't be explained. There is an empty feeling that can't seem to be filled. I don't know Michael's family but my prayers are with them tonight.
Beautiful rendition of a very moving song. Zona just alerted me to the news about Michael. This is very sad. He was a true original. But I think the best tribute to him is Audrey's tears. None of us were really sure what to make of Delores Crump at the beginning. As we all know, she could be pretty vicious. But as we got to know the person behind the persona, the goodness eventually shone through. Fare thee well, my friend. You will be greatly missed.
Ahh, jodj got that darn 69 how does she always get so lucky!!!???
JL, I'm up late (2:30am) playing on my iPad with one eyevopen. I just finished my ecercise and wahoo...bike riding for ten minutes all the way around. I woke up about 11:30' this morning. It's been a very long day and I even had two visitors and pt. I must get bored easy. I'm about to turn in now and see what tomorrow brings. I'm getting very sleepy. So night all
And I just happen to be up early for yummy sounding coffee and donuts. Thanks Jodi. I love pumpkin flavored anything. It's my favorite time of year for all the pumpkin items.

Good morning LYNN. You're up rather early....raising my cawfee cup to you ♥

Good morning TINKA....*clink*
Tina I already cried to this yesterday when HOdi posted it on FB so can't watch the blog today. Here I am all teary eyed just thinking about it.
By the way, the only reason I'm up so early is because the time changed here. I have yet to actually change my clocks.
Lynn, HOdi, Tinka Raising my cup of coffee.
SLIN - I just watched it again....*passing a tissue*
Good Morning Jodi and Just_Lin - I was going to watch the video again and decided not too. I have been "teary eyed" all morning. Jodi, did you bring a supply of tissues?
Just_Lin - Changed my clocks but my body is still on daylight time. I have had my Slim Fast and in a little while I am going down for my nap. It's cloudy and rainy, a good day for a good cry.
Tina, what a beautiful song. It certainly brings tears especially when we know how much Michael liked it.
It's always a different sleep when we change the clocks, isn't it?
Good morning Jodi, Tink, Lynn and JL. Nice to see you all this morning.
TINKA - I left a box on the counter. Help yourself!
DIANNE - Packers r tied up, and I see Broncos are ahead!!
Maybe it will be a football win for our teams today, Jodi. I hope so.
DIANNE - Let's hope so!! GO BRONCOS!! GO PACKERS!!!
DIANNE - Let's hope so!! GO BRONCOS!! GO PACKERS!!!
Ha!!! I guess I really meant that!!!
Packers are ahead 21-7 at the half....sorry ZONA!!
Beautiful song TINA..I just know MICHAEL would have loved your choice today.
Here is a link to Michael's obituary:

Waving a wing at LYNN, JODI, TINKA, J/LIN and DI!
JODI: Washing clothes..still..and not watching football..HA!..Randy turned it off..he's just so disappointed with his team..I tried to tell him it's just a game..he harrummpphhed and went outside..oh well..
Thanks for the link JODI..
You're welcome ZONA ♥
DIANNE - Your game must b a nail biter!!!
Jodi, it is and I even really did break a stupid nail!!! Now I have to figure how I can get in to the nail place while not walking barely.
DIANNE - Maybe your loving brother will give you a ride!!
Just woke up but I am not sure what I feel like doing today.
Dianne - It takes me a week to get used to the new time.
jodi - Thanks for the link and the tissues. I just read it. It will be a sad funeral. He was so young. My niece was born June 1957 so she is just a few months younger than Michael.She is fighting colon and liver cancer. I won't even entertain the thought of losing her. She will beat it!!!!!
Zona - Leave the wash until Monday (Isn't Monday wash day? it used to be.) Curl up with a good book and forget about the game. Keep lots of snacks and diet coke nearby. I think that's what I am going to do.
DIANNE - Woot woot!!! We both won!!!
HOdi Thank you for the link to the obit.
And congrats on your win. I haven't looked at football today.
Zona Sorry about Randy's disappointment. Tell him to walk it off. LOL
Tinka Now that sounds like a good idea. Are you curled up with a book with snacks close by? Perfect for a Sunday.
Dianne I guess your nail is a casualty of the game. You must have been really cheering for your team.
Tina Extra (((HUGS))) for you.
Just_Lin - I am curled up by the fire but instead of a good book I am playing on my farms.

For Michael
If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again.
Good Night all and God bless. Love, Tink
Tink, thanks for the reassuring words as I've had mostly good days the last two weeks so today has been a little disheartening ,,,thank you
Dianne I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Just remember to take it one day at a time and pretty soon you will be good as new.
Tinka I used to hate it when I had to give my cats shots but you get used to it after a while and more comfortable about it all. I'm so glad you're able to provide this level of care to Tia.
TINKA - That was a beautiful poem ♥
DIANNE - One day at a time....u got this!!!
SLIN - Have a good night....muah ♥
Good morning everyone.
Just wanted to drop by and say hello. Not much to say on this end. Had a good sleep and not really ready to wake up but I set alarm as my nephew and pt are on schedule today.
Dianne Good morning. I'm not ready to be up this morning, either, but here I am.
Michael's funeral is being held today. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
Good afternoon DIANNE & SLIN :)
aiting my turn at The Red Cross. Paying it forward today <3
Been thinking about MICHAEL'S sisters today as they say goodbye <3
HOdi Kudos to you for paying it forward. :)
Not sure what kind of accent I was using...aiting?!!?
Thanks SLIN!!!
Good Afternoon Dianne - I hope you are feeling better today. It sounds like you are.
Hello Just_Lin - My thoughts are with Michael's family today too. I guess the event is over and now reality sets in. It never gets easier.
Greetings Jodi - Good for you for paying it forward.
I am up from my nap. The sun is shining and I am taking my "fur-babies" out for a stroll. See you all later.
Been thinking about Michael today.
I've been thinking about Michael today also. Sending thoughts to his family.

Michael/DeeDee/Delores could spin a yarn like no other. What a talent!
Well said BEAR & SLIN!!
I always think of DeeDee and Wanda ..they used to make me laugh.
Dianne Are you up late or early?
69!!!
Ahh, jodj got that darn 69 how does she always get so lucky!!!???
