Oh the Summer-time has come....

Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 11:57 AM by Robby Roberts

Well, not really, yet. It sure feels like it. On my walk yesterday, I had one of my favorite spring time tunes in my head. It's a RARE song to hear as its an Old Celtic Scottish song. (As my family has a lot of Scottish history, this might explin why I love it so!) So, guess my surprise when, at work today, here comes the owner of the company I work for walking down the hall WHISTLING IT!!!

Oh, the summer-time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain:
And we'll all go together,
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a tower
By yon pure, crystal fountain,
And it's there I will bring
All the flowers of the mountain;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

I will range through the wilds
And the deep land so dreary
And return with the spoils
To the bower o' my dearie;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

If my true love will not come
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

Oh, the autumn-time is comin'
And the leaves will soon be fallin',
And the blossoms o' the summer
Will soon wither on the mountain;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

Friends of mine...

Posted on Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 9:33 PM by Robby Roberts

Today, I had some time to reflect on all of my friends. Some of you are new friends, some of you have been friends for years/decades... even for nearly my whole life! I know, I have not been in touch with some of you as well as I should, there are just some things I'm dealing with that, out of respect for other parties, I can't talk about. And, honestly, the more I talk about it, the more it bothers me. So, I've had to "shut down" some of my lines of communications, withdraw to my most inner circle... let's just say the Ol' Wolfman is running with a very small pack these days.

I just want all of you to know, I care about you, I know you guys care about me... and I KNOW you are praying for me, I feel it and I see the results.

Let me appologize for the crude animation in this video... it's the best version of the song I could find and it's the words of the song I want you guys to hear, not the video.

Friends of Mine!

You and I in a little toy shop....

Today's entry is a little cryptic, because I want to see who's been paying attention. If you get the reference, email me. If you don't, I'll give you a hint check the post from March, 19th below....

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
With the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message
"Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
