Fridays Fave Five & Sat 9

Joining Susanne and Sam for the following memes. 
Links are on the left.

I am always thankful for my iPhone and laptop. Both let me communicate with others and download graphics to use for Bible journaling and crafting. 

Thankful that we could see our granddaughter  lead worship again. After church we went to my older sons home and everyone came for an early birthday celebration for my daughter and younger grandson who share a birthday. They had a movie date on Tuesday and he was happy to miss school!

Thankful that I facilitate a group for our Women's Bible study. We will be studying Exodus for the next 5 week. The group leaders each go a cool canvas bag that hold various items for the group.

Thankful that my son and his wife had a safe flight to Japan. They are having a great time.


Thankful that our family will be joining our grandson for his Senior walk at his Volleyball game Friday night. Sadly he is not feeling well and is at the doctors right now. I pray he feels better soon because he works this weekend. Prayers appreciated. Thanks!

Saturday 9: Drive My Car (1965)


Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
 
1) Who would you allow, without hesitation, to drive your car? My kids.
 
2) When you're riding in the backseat, do you use your seatbelt? Yes
 
3) In this song, a young girl tells her boyfriend she wants to be a movie star. What were your aspirations when you were in your late teens/early 20's? Did you realize them? Medical field and I changed my major to bio-social science. I was working part time at the post office and end up staying there because the hours worked best for my kids/childcare.
 
4) The song was reportedly inspired in part by the relationship between popular British singer Cilla Black and her future husband. Cilla wanted him on the record label's payroll, so he became her road manager and driver. Have you ever worked for, or with, someone with whom you were romantically involved? My husband also worked for the postal service. We met at church youth group and I got into the post office before he did. He worked 37 years and I worked 36.
 
5) Although this Beatles song is credited to Lennon-McCartney, it was written mostly by Paul. He recalls showing up at John Lennon's house with the tune ready to go, and lyrics they both agreed were "crap." John gave Paul the car theme, and he took it from there. When has someone recently helped you out of a jam? My friend that give me car rides when I need it.
 
6) Paul also handles the lead vocals. When you hear a Beatles record, can you tell which band member is singing lead? Yes, if I know the band well.

7) When it was first released, this record got a lot of attention for the intricate guitar work by Paul and George Harrison. It's got a lot of percussion on it, too, including cowbell and tambourine. Have you ever played either cowbell or tambourine? (Do you think it sounds like fun?) I have played a tambourine that belonged to my mother-in-law.

8) Lava lamps were already popular in England but they weren't introduced to the United States until 1965. Today Walmart carries more than 20 different lava lamps. Have you ever owned one? Yes.
 
9) Random question: Do you have a recurring dream? Every so often I dream that I am working in the marketing department at the post office. The other day I found a picture of me with a few people I worked for in 1990. We were with the Postmaster General. I had a dream with them early Thursday morning. It made me think if they were still alive.
