Wedding Song - God Knew That I Needed You

OCTOBER

It has been raining all day long – and the rain will continue into next week; and beyond. The rainy season has begun in the PNW.

I spent the day knitting, watching (and hearing) the rain fall; and watching movies to beat the boredom.

Knit Preemie Receiving Sacque Gown.
The Fall Rainy Season has officially begun ...

After Supper, I listened to some Octobery music … and thawed a bag of cherries to make a pie with, tomorrow 😉

“That” week is starting …

Time to crank things up a bit

My mother always started this week off with Screaming Jay Hawkins – I grew up with this: Screaming Jay Hawkins – ‘I Put A Spell on You’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toeLYKor3og)

Bob liked this version of the same song … Creedence Clearwater Revival – ‘I Put A Spell on You’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwCALR8ZAm8\)

A ‘just because’ song … Rockwell – ‘Somebody’s Watching Me’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNBilAoaCjs)

I like Edgar – Bob didn’t. I stayed up to watch his band on ‘The Midnight Special’ … and cranked it up every October, anyway 😉

Edgar White Group – “Frankenstein’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8f-Qb-bwlU)

Bob didn’t like this band either; so, I played it when he was out-of-house.

Black Sabbath – ‘Iron Man’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS2cCyx7nM0)

Bob liked this band … and had an 8-track we practically burned up, driving the back roads with the truck stereo as loud as it would go 😊

Steppenwolf – ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4WiyxXpyZc)

The first year we were married, Bob grew his hair out (he was the only guy I ever dated with short hair, and he wanted me to be happy –silly man! I just wanted him: short hair, and all 😉); and it resembled John Kay’s hair (lead singer/white muscle tee). The long hair didn’t last long because Bob’s hair was very thick, and he got hot at work. I didn’t miss the long hair when it was gone. I wanted the MAN 😊

This was one of the rare bands we both liked, at the same time 😉

Steppenwolf – ‘Night Screaming Hog’ song: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_v5_4yuXRo)

Bob didn’t want to hear the stereo at top volume first thing in the morning … and he really hated Black Sabbath: so, I stopped getting up at 3’in the morning to make his lunch – and I stopped going to day school; I married Bob when I was 17; and he had promised my stepfather that I’d finish high school. I was a night owl: (“I need the music to keep my eyes open, honey!”) 😉

I played my music all day long; and went to school in the evening, and made his lunch before we went to bed. Everything got done, I graduated – and everyone was happy 😊

Happy marriages are built on compromises: pick your battles, and don’t sweat the small stuff.
