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?
