NATIONAL MIDDLE CHILD DAY

Each year on August 12, National Middle Child Day honors that in-between child in the family. Of course, larger families celebrate more than one middle child, too!

Many believe birth order plays a pivotal role in the personalities of children. For example, the Middle Child Syndrome describes the firstborn as the leader and the role-player. Meanwhile, the youngest one earns the title of the baby family. Therefore, the middle child’s role remains undefined.

Birth order may also contribute to the Big Five personality traits: extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. One personality study also claims that middle children tend to be artistic and creative.

No matter what the personality tests and therapists say, the day directs us to focus on the middle child. The day directs parents and siblings to pull out all the stops. Make your middle-born family members feel special.

NATIONAL VINYL RECORD DAY

Get spinning on August 12 with National Vinyl Record Day! Whether it’s the Beatles, Elvis Presley, The Monkees, Johnny Cash, or the Bee Gees, vinyl records have a sound all their own. Most will agree, vintage vinyl is as classic as the bands themselves.

The day encourages listening to all kinds of music on vinyl records. Spin a disc on a jukebox or show off your style by demonstrating your hip-hop moves.

About Vinyl Records
When vinyl records first came on the market they had other names. Some of them were a gramophone record or a phonograph record. They are also called records for short. The analog sound storage medium consists of a flat disc. The sound is recorded by inscribing it on a modulated spiral groove.

Depending on the speed at which the sound was recorded, the vinyl record will need to be played at a corresponding speed on the record player. This is referred to as rotational speed. The revolutions per minute (RPMs) of the more popular vinyls are:

45s
33 1/3
78s
Other features of vinyl records included reproductive accuracy or fidelity (High Fidelity or Hi-Fi, Orthophonic and Full-Range), their time capacity (long-playing or single), and the number of channels of audio provided (mono, stereo or quadraphonic).

Vinyl records were also sold in different sizes such as:

12 inch
10 inch
7 inch

This is going to be a good week!! 🌻 happy Monday everyone 💫💕

Mariah Carey Lyrics
“Butterfly”

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands
And watch you rise

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage to be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me
When you’re ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I can’t pretend these tears aren’t overflowing steadily
I can’t prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you’ll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me (I will know you’re mine)
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly (My butterfly)
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly (Fly)
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly… fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Madonna Lyrics
“Who’s That Girl”

Who’s that girl?
Who’s that girl?

When you see her, say a prayer
And kiss your heart goodbye
She’s trouble, in a word get closer to the fire
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You’re spinning ’round and ’round
You can’t get up, you try but you can’t

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)

You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands
She’s smiling, an invitation to the dance
Her heart is on the street, tu corazón es suyo
Now you’re falling at her feet
You try to get away but you can’t

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)

Light up my life, so blind I can’t see
Light up my life, no one can help me now
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You’re spinning ’round and ’round
You can’t get up, you try but you can’t

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)

Light up my life, so blind I can’t see
Light up my life, no one can help me now
Who’s that girl?
Now, who’s that girl?
Now, who’s that girl?
Now, who’s that girl?

¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)
¿Quién es esa niña? (Who’s that girl?)
Señorita, más fina (Who’s that girl?)

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. Well done Paris. Viva France! 😎💕🎈

When Doves Cry
Song by Prince

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that’s so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You’ve got the butterflies all tied up
Don’t make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How could you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that’s so cold? (A world that’s so cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding (maybe, maybe I’m like my father)
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold (you know he’s too bold)
Maybe you’re just like my mother (maybe you’re just like my mother)
She’s never satisfied (she’s never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)

@sheba2011

Just finished watching the three hour closing ceremony. I’m about 50/50 on it, some I liked, some I didn’t. The dancers in gray with no faces and the rings – I liked it but it was too drawn out and got repetitious. The Tom Cruise stunt was too hokey for me. Loved the woman at the end who sang My Way and the fireworks. And loved seeing the athletes have fun (and cutie Leon). Back to boring TV.😕

Another beautiful day, partly sunny, in the 70’s and no humidity.🌤 Reminds me of San Diego weather.

Hope you and hubs had a great bike ride.🚴‍♀️ Enjoy your evening, hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈I am going to watch the closing of the Olympics.
I will miss it then the real games begin. Sigh…

Enjoy this day and the cooler temps. I know your sister is sleeping right about now. LOL!
I hope your mom and her had a great meal and a good time last night. 😎🎈

Sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 🎈😎I hope your hubby is enjoying his golfing.

Hubby and I will go for a bike ride later today I have our helmets ready. 😎
