CHICKEN SALAD DAYS

The journey continues

and it's going to be jazzy!

One of my oldest dreams
is to play in a jazz trio
My inspiration came from the jazz album

Shelly Manne (drummer)
plays My Fair Lady (1956)
Andre Previn played piano.

In June, I did get to play lite jazz
for a recent Art Reception
at the Lyndon House.

I have a goal to make a
jazz album of original songs
I guess that's on my bucket list,
as they say.

In the meantime
I got on a chicken salad kick

through the entire month of July!

I was sampling chicken salad
 all over Athens.

Trader’s Joe’s
 “Wine Country Chicken Salad”

is the best, so far.

Whoa! Those jeans were feeling tighter!

What to do?

Start a new gimmiky diet!

Now, it costs me $5 a day.

Yes, I have to earn $5
 by eating a lot less,

by feeling a little bit hungry
 all day long.

So far, so good. The jeans are looser

I NEVER WEIGH!

When I go to the doctor,

I cover my eyes and tell the nurse,

 “Do not tell me what I weigh!”

I also want to report that

I have really straightened my house.

And the garden still looks good.

I call this my Caladium Summer garden.

We are in a drought and Daisy Miller

and Caladiums don’t need much water.

Basil is healthy, too!

I have to include a photo

of my favorite roses.

Another creative endeavor this week

 was framing a photo.

Here’s that story:

Back when I was iced in,

Suzanne loaned me her yellow boots.

I kept them for a week, 

I had to make a sketch!

It’s my favorite sketch so I took a photo. 

printed and framed one

to give to Suzanne on her birthday.

HERE’S THE CREATIVE TASK!

Can I arrange these photos

in an i-photo slide show

and compose some jazzy music

 to add to

my YouTube music collection?

Check it out!

Did I do it?
