Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I think this rainy weather has finally put me into a bit of a melancholy mood. Sigh....
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMcYIVhdc2E - Have You Ever Been Lonely? - Teresa Brewer, 1960
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WFfAqzIw5A - Have You Ever Been Lonely? - Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_You_Ever_Been_Lonely%3F:
"Have You Ever Been Lonely?" is a popular song with music by Peter De Rose and lyrics by Billy Hill (writing under the name of George Brown), published in 1932. It has been recorded by many singers, becoming a standard.
Ted Lewis and Ray Noble with vocalist Al Bowlly [1] had successful records in 1933. A small cover war emerged between Jaye P. Morgan and Karen Chandler in 1955. The song was a pop chart entry by the Caravelles, a British girl group, in 1964. An electronically edited duet featuring Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline, who never recorded together while alive, became a top 10 country-western hit in the early 1980s.

| I am doing very well. No
pain, except when I yawn. I see the surgeon tomorrow and will learn the
results of the testing. Hopefully everything will still be benign... I
really appreciate your prayers... It means a lot to me that I still have
people who care in my life. :)
Dearest Charis, anyone who
has ever been privileged to know you or to hear your magnificent music
or to have been taught by you cares deeply for you! You remain in
our prayers!

Lonely Crocheted Bunny - さびしい SABISHII
(lonely) - "This short "film" was created for my final slide
presentation assignment in my Color Photography class (Spring 2007). It
was created using Sony Vegas and just over 100 photographs. さびしい (sabishii)
means 'lonely' in Japanese. The story is about a
lonely bunny and a lonely girl who
meet. For the crafty ones - the bunny is hand-crocheted out of 100% wool
and is stuffed with polyester fiberfill. It is an original amigurumi
pattern, which can be found on my website!
