I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Song by Marvin Gaye

Ooh, I bet you’re wonderin’ how I knew
‘Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don’tcha know that I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But these tears I can’t hold inside
Losin’ you would end my life you see
‘Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
Instead I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
People say believe half of what you see, son
And none of what you hear
But I can’t help bein’ confused
If it’s true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don’tcha know I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Honey, honey, I know
That you’re lettin’ me go
Said, I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine

Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)
Song by Marvin Gaye

Here we have something for you folks, we hope
You enjoy it as we enter our social section, thank you
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain’t what they used to be (ain’t what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain’t what they used to be (ain’t what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain’t what they used to be (ain’t what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain’t what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

Marvin Gaye
“What’s Going On”

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today – Ya

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what’s going on
What’s going on
Yeah, what’s going on
Ah, what’s going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on
Yeah, what’s going on
Tell me what’s going on
I’ll tell you what’s going on – Uh
Right on baby

Good afternoon, I hope you are having an easy Sunday. Our weather is great – partly cloudy and around 70. They are not predicting any rain this week so it must be passing to the south of us. Or the weather people could be wrong, that is nothing new!😵 In the 80’s near the end of the week.

Just finished watching our hockey game this afternoon and they lost in overtime, ugh!😫 Not the way to start the playoffs. Two more games on today so you know where I will be. Grilling some steaks today for dinner.🥩 Don’t have that too often so really looking forward to them. Throw some potatoes🥔 on and it’s like dining at a fine restaurant, yum.😋

Flowers are fine since I sprayed them, although with a lot less blooms. Have a long way to go yet so who knows.🌹🌼🌺

@sheba2011

I see that my first note from yesterday did not make it. It’s in cyber space somewhere, out there. Oh well. I will try to remember what I said, I mean wrote. Wish the keyboard had a memory. LOL

One of the comments I made was a thank you for being you and being able to complete my thoughts with gifs and a great sense of humor. I enjoy doing the Trivia thread and I am positive you do as well. Rodney was a great hit. People do need laughter and what better way than to provide it as best you can.

Yes, I was concerned that you had not completed the post yesterday. Just as shoelady mentioned I was thinking of all sorts of things with the last one being tired from the week. The body can only take so much and then lets you know that it is time to stop and to take time to smell the roses. Glad you are OK.

The spoonbill is on his way to you. I expect everything will be great. I did some weeding today and hubby helped with clipping some of t he bushes back.. More to do, but our backs made us stop and thus we sat on the lanai watching the ducklings with their mama on the lake. So cute. But everyday, we see less and less. I surmise an animal or two know where the nest is.

Today is the bar area and the stools. Then on to the cabinets. I know they will have to be redone when we return, but at least they will look good for the people who enter our home while we are away.

here’s hoping that you have a beautiful Sunday even though it’s raining. Good day to read a book. Think I’ll grab a quick bite and then back to work.

@sheba2011, Cabaret is my favorite musical of all time. Love it! I remember my parents went to see it and came home, insisting my husband and I go back with them. I didn’t like Liza M. and they had to bring me kicking and screaming. The rest is history. That was back in the caveman days, before VCRs and recorders. I saw (and paid for) that movie 7 times. Then I bought the soundtrack. It changed my opinion of Liza M drastically. She was fabulous as Sally Boyles (I think I spelled that right). Thanks for the memories and all the other beautiful pictures you have up today.

@kittengirl,

Always in our hearts and prayers. Have a safe day in California. 🌹

@71flowerchild,

Howdy good friend in Texas you have been missed. Hey I was missing for a bit yesterday.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast. 🌹😎I am feeling much better today. I just overdid
some things. What was happening is I throw out stuff to the curb for pickup then I move
and rearrange my living and dining room. It was a job. I also had other projects going
on.

I went to CVS to pick up meds and every single person including the entire Pharmacy
Staff were wearing Masks. I saw no one without a mask yesterday. 😎💕

Thank you for the good luck with the Spoon Bill. Oodie they are so beautiful. 🌹😎💕

I am going to take it easy today. 😘

@bichon18,

new baby? Wishing you a good day enjoy. 😎🌹
