Wouldn’t It Be Nice
Song by The Beach Boys

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
It might come true
Baby, then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
Oh, we could be married (oh, we could be married)
And then we’d be happy (and then we’d be happy)
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let’s talk about it
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby

Do It Again
Song by The Beach Boys

It’s automatic when I talk with old friends
The conversation turns to girls
We knew when their hair was soft and long
And the beach was the place to go
Suntanned bodies and waves of sunshine
The California girls and a beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather let’s get together
And do it again
With a girl the lonely sea looks good
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight
Been so long
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Well I’ve been thinking
‘Bout all the places we’ve surfed and danced
And all the faces we’ve missed
So let’s get back together and do it again

Good Vibrations
The Beach Boys

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations (oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations)
Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations (oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations)
Ah, ah, my my, what elation
I don’t know where but she sends me there
Oh, my my, what a sensation
Oh, my my, what elation
Oh, my my, what
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
Na na na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na (bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)

Another hot day on the Gulf. No rain. Beautiful cloud formations especially tonight. The blue sky behind the clouds absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could mix the paint to match what I saw, but alas, I am not that artistic. Today was garbage and recycle pick up. Hubby brought the cans to the front. Usually I do that chore, but guess I was asleep when he decided to up and go.

So far we have not heard from the neurologist for an appointment. I surmise they are short on staff being that this is the month for vacations. I will be in touch with the orthopedist’s assistants. Guess this means that the surgery will again be postponed. There are times that I wish I can throw the towel in and head North. This is one of them. Hubby is in pain 24/7. Wish there was something I could do.

Cannot believe that tomorrow is Trivia. One week left in July. Kids go back to school August 1st,, though some will return after Labor Day.

Try to stay cool in this heat. I would not venture too far. Take it easy when you can. That goes doubles for Poppy and your hubby.

Umbrella
Song by Rihanna

Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, Rihanna
Uh huh, uh huh
Good girl gone bad
Uh huh, uh huh
Take three, action
Uh huh, uh huh, Hov
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Comin’ down at the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone
We Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
In G5s or better
You know me
In anticipation for precipitation stack chips for the rainy day
Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna, where you at?
You have my heart, and we’ll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines, but you’ll still be my star
Baby, ’cause in the dark
You can’t see shiny cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
These fancy things will never come in between
You’re part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we’ll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
You can run into my arms
It’s okay, don’t be alarmed
Come into me
(There’s no distance in between our love)
So gon’ and let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
It’s raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it’s raining, raining
Baby, come into me
Come into me
It’s raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it’s raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain
It’s pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain
It’s pouring rain

Kokomo
Song by The Beach Boys

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby, why don’t we go Jamaica?
Off the Florida Keys
There’s a place called Kokomo
That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all
And bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby, why don’t we go (ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo)
We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down in Kokomo
Martinique, that Montserrat mystique
We’ll put out to sea and we’ll perfect our chemistry
By and by we’ll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye, give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby, why don’t we go (ooh, I want to take you down to Kokomo)
We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we want to go
Way down in Kokomo
Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go and get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby, why don’t we go (ooh, I wanna take you down to Kokomo)
We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego
Baby, why don’t we go…

Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)
Song by Billy Ocean

She’s simply awesome, ooh
She dashed by me in painted-on jeans
And all heads turned ’cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah
She said I was the tiger she wanted to tame
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can’t ignore
And passion burns you like never before
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game, yeah
Love was the furthest, furthest from my mind, yeah
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run (I love you, I need ya)
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream (I don’t wanna stop)
And our hearts they beat as one (ooh, ya)
No more love on the run (ooh-ooh-ooh, ya)
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream (I don’t wanna stop)
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream (I don’t wanna stop)
And our hearts they beat as one (oh, lady, my lady)
No more love on the run
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
She’s the queen
My Caribbean Queen
I said she dashed by me in painted jeans

Club Sheba Summerland Edition. 😎✨

@Sheba,
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻
Hello Sheba, it’s hot,hot,hot. How are you doing in this heat?
We has only a few drops of rain today, literally. Lots of thunder though.
I ordered a plant stand for some of the inside plants from Amazon. It looks like a cart, it has wheels and allows me to place large pots on it. It looks really good and is very sturdy.
Goes perfect in front on the dining room window.
Going to be out for the majority of the day tomorrow. We will be wearing our masks 😷 not taking any chances.
Hard to believe but there is one case of Polio here in the country. Are we going back to the Fifties and sixties. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Looking at Life From All Sides

Expanding your perspective opens you to insights and inspirations.

Whenever we examine our lives, we examine them from a particular side or angle. Most of us tend to favor one side over the others. For example, we may tend to look at things from an emotional perspective rather than a financial perspective, or we may prefer to think in terms of details rather than the big picture, or vice versa. To a certain degree, this is not a problem, and these tendencies add color to our individual personalities. However, they can also make us one-sided, blind to the many other ways of looking at our situation. Even if we have decided that we are most happy when we focus on one particular side of things, it is always worth exploring the other sides. When we do, we become well rounded, more understanding of other viewpoints, and even more solid in our own.

Perhaps you are a person who tends to see your life in terms of your spiritual well-being. As a result, other concerns such as financial comfort or social standing may not be prominent in your mind as you make decisions. However, taking just a moment to consider those angles will help you in several ways. One, it will enable you to see more clearly what your priorities are and how they influence your life situation. Two, it will enhance your sense of confidence, because you will see your situation from all sides, even as you choose one. And three, it will help you communicate with others about who you are and what you are doing, because you will come from a place of understanding that your own biases and tendencies are unique as are theirs.

Most of us instinctively come at things from a particular angle, and in many cases this is the right way for us. Still, understanding the other angles only strengthens us. When we look at our lives from all sides, we shed light on the big picture, giving ourselves access to many points of view and highlighting more clearly the one we have chosen to take.
