5 on Friday - Set 123


Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

...phew...

The pace of life in Julialandia is starting to slow down a little bit. SAINT SANGUINUS is the featured book over at The Full Fang today.

This week, in honor of the girl for whom I was once the nanny--and who just celebrated her 27th birthday!--here's a Neil Diamond set.

Once upon a time, after I'd moved out of the Toronto home where I'd been the live-in nanny and then moved in as roommates with my employer's brother, we had his sister/my friend and her then-fiance-now-husband over for dinner and a games night. By this time I was engaged to Brad and he lived in our apartment with the brother/my roomie as well.

We played a music trivia game where you had to give clues about songs and then finally hum part of it if necessary. This first song always reminds me of Donna, the mom/my former employer/housemate/friend and her finger-snapping version.



Me with Donna on my 2007 trip to Toronto.

That's me with Claire, back in the day.
