Stuck In My Head: "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words
Of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when there's nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

"Rusty Cage: by Soundgarden
"Rusty Cage"
You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a Phillips head
Into my brain
It's gonna be too dark
To sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars
And rusty chains, I'm gonna break my
Rusty cage and run
When the forest burns
Along the road
Like God's eyes
In my headlights
When the dogs are looking
For their bones
And it's raining icepicks
On your steel shawl
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Hanging Out At The Campground
My in-laws camping during Mother's Day weekend. We took Shelby out the campground to see her Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle and fur cousins. It was around 80ish degrees, so Shelby stayed in the shade as much as possible and drank plenty of water!

A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes

Happy Birthday Momma
Today is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 67 years old.
It has been 26 years since Mom passed away. So hard to believe
sometimes that she left this world at such a young age.
I miss you Momma. I love you very much.
