The long vacation is over, and unlike most people who just took six weeks off, I’m thrilled to be back! I was kind of drifting aimlessly with little to do but physical therapy, so getting back to “work” is a relief!
I do want to thank the very special people who checked in on me during my absence. It was very much appreciated. 
I’m ready if you are!

Is great to see you back!!!!!!!! What a great medley and thank you for thinking of me. Has given me a glimmer of light in my dark world.
XXOO
Penny, there is always a glimmer of light. Six weeks go, I could not stand on my own. Today I can actually walk down a hallway with a cane. It’s not always pretty but it’s a lot better than it was. Prayers help too, even if you think they don’t. ❤️
XOXO
So nice to ‘hear’ you back, Ray.
Thank you, Nancy! ❤️
Such a wonderful thing to see we are back, and we are jammin! I just loved all of your selections, Ray, and all the dedications. It’s so fun to know that you are feeling chipper and ready to roll. This was awesome, and I sure do look forward to Monday. Thanks for all the tunes. And remember, you’re the best! 🥰
Thank you, Sandy! I’m no yet where I want to be but I’m sure better than I was! Thank you for the encouragement and as always, thank you for listening! 🥰
I hope PT is helping. Missed you
Thank you, Nancy. The PT is strenuous and tiring but it IS helping! 🥰
Knew I missed you, but hearing today’s medley proved it! Hadn’t realized how uplifting the start your day music is.
So glad our collective energy has sustained and helped in healing you.
As always you throw in something new to me ..the Dobie Gray selection…
Thrilled you’re back
Thank you, Mary Helen! The collective energy has been a blessing.
I’m thrilled to be reading one of your always uplifting comments again! 🥰

Shouting from the mountain top WELCOME HOME, LEMIRE~
So fitting you selected that Tom Petty song for YOU and for Fred!
Thank you so much for your continuous encouragement, Rose!
You must have used your outside voice because I could hear you on the mountain top! ❤️❤️
Ray our friendship goes back so far that when you are down love and prayers take over!! I never once doubted you and like me you have the best wife on the planet!! She deserves more than words can describe!! She is truly a special person!!
Ray you also have so many wonderful friends that care for you and are so happy you are back and you certainly came back with great song choices!!
Ray you are meant to do this there was a time when you could only type with a few fingers but you kept going!! And I think you have to out last Keith Richard’s!! Glad you are back and if you need a day off once in a while just take it!! Sending love and prayers your way!!
Love ya!!
Fred, I’ll keep this simple but heartfelt.
I LOVE YA! ❤️
Terrific medley! I’m back to dancing and bobbing my head in the shower, driving and shopping.
Great to hear your progress, Ray!
After my haircut and a few work-related emails I have an important class to attend on this site…can’t wait!
Thank you, Jim! It does my heart good to know you’re back to dancing and bobbing!
I sincerely appreciate your good wishes!
So good to have you back, Ray! I’m also happy to be back to my routine, after spending the last 3 months getting my Dad settled in Oregon, and 3 weeks of July emptying his house in New Hampshire. Back to quilting with Ray and the Oldies! Yeah!!!
Thanks, Bonnie! I’m sure it feels nice to be back to something very familiar and rewarding. Your quilting has always been amazing and I am honored to think some of it is done listening to the kid from East School! 🥰
I’m so glad you are back! You were missed! Such a wonderful selection! This has made my evening a whole lot better! Thank you, for all that you do!
Thank you, Donna! It is a pleasure to be back! 🥰

Welcome back my friend. I’ve been layed up with a bad knee. So happy to sign-in and see your posts. Rock On!
Thanks, Nancy! I’m so sorry about your knee, but I’m very happy you checked in! 🥰
Ray,
No matter what, at our age we have to keep moving or the grim reaper comes after us. Congratulations on your very inspiring journey. It encourages all of us to keep going and moving, whatever obstacles are put in our path. You are true inspiration for so many of us aging pals. God bless you and your family!
Peter, thank you for your very, very generous comments. I promise to keep moving if you will!
