On his way to make history. This photograph by Afshin Shahidi shows Prince on his way to rehearsals for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in March 2004. That night, Prince would be inducted and shine during an all-star performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
“I talked him into walking there,” Afshin Shahidi remembers. “It was a beautiful New York day. I don’t think people were able to compute the fact that it was Prince walking by them—they just felt someone special was nearby.”
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” was performed in tribute to George Harrison, and George’s son Dhani joined a band led by Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Steve Winwood. Prince stepped forward halfway through to deliver 3 full minutes of virtuosic guitar bliss.

Oh, Sheba, I don’t think I do anything for you. I enjoy your thread here and getting to know you. You are so amazing and quite remarkable. Always here to support you and it’s my pleasure to get to hang out here with you and all these nice people. I know you miss your Dad and here’s hoping he visits you often.
Today hiked with my husband, but he didn’t want to do a hard trail so I had to double down and go in the late afternoon with a friend.
Have a great evening. Glad its warming up in OZ.

Just Like Me
Song by Paul Revere & the Raiders

It’s just like me
To say to you
Love me do
And I’ll be true
And what I’d like
For you to say
Is you’ll come home
To me each day
Hiku be my girl
That’s what I want
Just you sweet thing
And not a thing
It’s just like me
To feel so good
And fall so much
In love with you
It’s just like me
It’s just like me
I’m acting the fool
That’s how I’ll be
But it’s just like you
To say goodbye
And leave me all
Alone at night, waaa
It’s just like me
To say to you
Love me do
And I’ll be true
And what I’d like
For you to say
Is that you’ll love me
Here each day
It’s just like me
It’s just like me
I’m acting the fool
That’s how I’ll be
But it’s just like you
To say goodbye
And leave me all
Alone at night, waaa
It’s just like me
It’s just like me…

The 5th Dimension
“Up, Up And Away”

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us

If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We’ll find a cloud to hide us
We’ll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon

Up, up, and away!

I loved the Broadway hits last night. I enjoyed everything……”Memories,” “Tonight, Tonight” ” I Could Have Danced All Night,” “I Feel Pretty, All So Pretty.” “People.” Loved it all.

I used to think like you. Wouldn’t it be nice to live in NYC and have Broadway at your fingertips. Being two hours away by car or train was not enough. That is, until one day hubby and I decided to bus it with a group for a day to do your own thing. When we emerged from the bus, the smells were not like anything we had before. It was raunchy. It was awful. This was December and the garbage was piled a mile high or so it seemed. We made our way towards the subways to head to Chinatown and Little Italy our favorite places. Made it off the subway and walked what seemed like miles to the two flights of stairs and up to fresh air, or so we thought. However, the odors and scents changed as we walked up Canal. Fresh fish permeated the air. There were people trying to sell Gucci bags, Rolex watches, etc. though you knew they were fakes. However it was freezing outside and so we made it to a restaurant and ordered tea.
Later on we stopped for Congee with fish. Wait staff couldn’t believe that we knew what Congee was. It’s a staple in the Orient and is their oatmeal. But, it is made with rice and they add pork, chicken, fish, nuts and spices into the middle of the bowl. Sorry, one choice with nuts. This is something I look forward to when we cruise. Except last year, the taste was awful. Had to be the Covid. Long story short, no, to living in NYC not for us. Rather visit for a day or so.
More fun. More excitement trying to get as much in as we can. Then when we get home, breathe cleaner air.

Peace Out Peeps! Have a great evening.

And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Oh, let it shine, c’mon
Now everybody just sing along
Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you’ve been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in

Thinking of you daddy. 😘💕

Cherish
The Association

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I had told you
You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could hold you
You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours
Oh I’m beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin’ me out of my mind
Oh I could say I need you but then you’d realize
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
Who’d say they loved you With all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I had told you
You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could hold you
You don’t know how many times I’ve wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you
And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you

My father turned 80 last month in heaven he loved this song. 💕😘

Crystal Blue Persuasion
Song by Tommy James

Look over yonder
What do you see?
The sun is a-rising
Most definitely
A new day is coming (ooh, ooh)
People are changing
Ain’t it beautiful? (Ooh, ooh)
Crystal blue persuasion
Better get ready to see the light
Love, love is the answer (ooh, ooh)
And that’s all right
So don’t you give up now (ooh, ooh)
So easy to find
Just look to your soul (your soul)
And open your mind
Crystal blue persuasion, hmm, hmm
It’s a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal
Blue persuasion
Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field (ooh, ooh)
And every town
All of his children
And every nation
There’ll be peace and good brotherhood
Crystal blue persuasion, yeah
Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah
Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah

Club Sheba

@oodiebom,

I hope your husband improve I just hate you being alone doing everything.

I will be glad when you get back to the North but at least you have A/C.

We just turned the heat off this weekend and I have no plans to turn it back on until
winter.

I took a hot shower and washed my hair and I feel free as a bird we are about to have
a thunderstorm so I am logging off a wee bit early. 😎

@sheba2011

It is a gorgeous day in Florida. We had a little shower earlier but not enough to end the drought. After today it will become very muggy and temps will be in the high 90s. All I can say is, thank goodness for A/C.

I didn’t get anything accomplished today. I thought hubby had paid some bills, but I happened to be at the desk and found several had not been touched. I will take some time later to check on papers to see if anything has yet to be paid. I also took a giant leap and started him on Prevagen. People swear by it, so along with Andrew, we shall see how things go.

The bar area in the Kitchen looks amazing. Even the cabinets are spic and span. I just have to do the outside, but will wait until I finish the others. It’s just the bar stools and the floor area which I may do this evening.

You do not need to thank me for the prayers and the spoonbill. What are friends for if they cannot accommodate a friend when he or she needs a helping hand. We all need that from time to time. And missing your dad, all normal. There is never a day that goes by that I do not think of mine. However, what I don’t miss are the times he couldn’t do the things he loved most because of his heart. Where he is now he has no pain and can run like the wind. I see my dad in the butterfly that flits by my den window. I see mom when the dove comes to visit the Cape house. I see both my parents when there is a rainbow overhead letting me know that all is fine. When the light flickers, I know someone is visiting and I usually say hello. It also makes me feel better to know they are around even though I cannot see them.

I just looked at the time. Better start dinner. Stay well. Stay safe.
