F is for FUN

So, are we having FUN yet???  I am!  I think it's fantastic that I've been doing ABC Wednesday since the beginning of Round 2 and that's over five years now.  Anyway, since it's summer, I've had a famous fun song from the 60's going around in my head lately.  I'm sure you know it. Just click on the video and start singin' along!

       
                 Fun, Fun, Fun with the Beach Boys

                    Songwriters: Love, Michael Edward / Wilson, Brian Douglas

Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
Til her daddy takes the t-bird away
(Fun fun fun til her daddy takes the t-bird away)
Well the girls can't stand her
Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now you walk like an ace)
She makes the indy 500 look like a roman chariot race now
(You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ace now you drive like an ace)
And she'll have fun fun fun
Til her daddy takes the t-bird away
(Fun fun fun til her daddy takes the t-bird away)
Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
Youve been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
But you can come along with me
Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the t-bird away)

                    Have a great week everyone!

D of Dutch

I am Dutch, but I don't sing like a Dutch nightingale  and my choir doesn't sing   a Dutch concert. I was, however suffering from the Dutch disease in the eighties.

I had a Dutch uncle, who stroke a Dutch bargain, after screwing up his Dutch courage. It was a Dutch consolation that he got a prize wrapped in Dutch gold.

He dutched his life , for he always spoke Double Dutch, when he and his friends went Dutch. He got a Dutch treat and after that he committed the Dutch act by putting his head in a Dutch oven.

 During the late 17th century, the Dutch system of producing these cast metal cooking vessels was more advanced than the English system. The Dutch used dry sand to make their molds, giving their pots a smoother surface. Consequently, metal cooking vessels produced in the Netherlands were imported into Britain. In 1704, an Englishman named Abraham Darby decided to go to the Netherlands to observe the Dutch system for making these cooking vessels. Four years later, back in England, Darby patented a casting procedure similar to the Dutch process and began to produce cast-metal cooking vessels for Britain and her new American colonies. Thus the term “Dutch oven” has endured for over 300 years, since at least 1710

C is for Carver

My mother's father was always known by his middle name which was Carver. He died when my mother was 2 months old so she and I never knew him. Below is a photo of my Grandfather Carver probably taken not long before he died.

I was named after my Grandfather and although Carver was also my middle name that's what everyone always called me. I ended up dropping my first name, since I had never been known by that name, when I got married in 1980 so Carver has been my first name since then. Below is a photograph of me when I was little Carver as opposed to now when I'm aging Carver.

Of course carver is also what someone is when they carve a turkey or roast but I've never been very good at that kind of carving. Come on in and join the fun with the letter C.
