Went to see hubby yesterday and he was still hungry after dinner. The food on his plate did not amount to much. Everything was like mush and not much of it either. Thankfully, I made two grilled cheese sandwiches and a dessert for hubby. He absolutely devoured the sandwich. I left hubby around 9:30 as he was falling asleep. I arrived home after 1:30 am. Now for the whys. The car seemed to be Ok driving to the rehab. I keep checking the tire gauge on a panel in the car and they were doing fine. I got into the car and started to drive homeward. I hadn’t gone a quarter of a mile when the warning lights came on. Seemed my back tire was down. So I drove back to the rehab and contacted AAA. I thought for sure someone would be out almost immediately. It got to be 10:30 and no update on the Triple. 11:30 and still nothing. Our favorite Aide came out and was surprised to see me in the parking lot. I did check the car prior to calling triple and discovered the valve was missing. So when the aide came out he offered to show me the nearest gas station with an air pump. I decided to wait it out for another half hour or so. Then I remembered the boot as a spare and went into the trunk to see if it had a valve, which it did. I used that to seal the tire which was now down to 4. The gas station, as it turned out, was just a block down the road. Went in and though they had a pump, the hose was missing. I decided to drive home at that point. Luckily there the traffic at that hour was light. I saw amptjer gas station on route and swung in. They had an air pump, but no hose. Thinking it was inside I went in and they said it was out of order. So I drove on. There was another station just up the road. This time they had an air pump with hose. Had to pay $2 to use the pump. For some reason it would not pump and again went into the building. I was told that they were waiting for it to be repaired. Three gas stations where the air pump wasn’t working. No sign to say out of order. Absolutely horrendous. Waking up this morning, checked my cell and found that Triple came to my rescue after 8am.. To think I would have stayed at the rehab all night waiting for Triple gave me the willies. I contacted Triple this afternoon. It took 2 hours for someone to come out. End result was a tire that was ready to move. Drove to the rehab, everything was fine. Left around 10 pm and drove to the end of the driveway and the lights were flashing again. I drove home and will contact triple in the morning and then have the tire checked to see why the valve falls off. I now wonder if someone is fiddling with my car. I will get valve replacements and will keep them somewhere in the car. Thankfully, I am home.

I do like both time changes. When we fall behind, I wake up to some gorgeous sunrises. No alarm needed to start the day. I also remember as a child growing up waiting for the school bus and enjoying the sun on my back. At least I didn’t need to use a flashlight to alert drivers to people standing on the corner. Returning home, I had about an hour to stay outside and do nothing. Though it got dark around 4:30 pm I had that time to myself and then went inside to start the homework and get ready for the next day. Today, the sun wakes me around 7 am and I can stay in bed and watch the morning begin. However, I do have a shorter day to get things done, but hubby loves it because I get to spend an extra hour or two with him. Driving home is a no brainer. I leave when hubby starts to fall asleep and the drive home is the same darkness. So it feels no different. The time changes never bothered me. But I know others hate it. Me, I love the extra hour I can stay in bed and read or do a jigsaw. I can start the day without the tension.

Fly Me to the Moon
Song by Count Basie and Frank Sinatra
Produced by Quincy Jones

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you.

Sheba, You had a good healthy breakfast. The Tree pictures are beautiful, and the little critters too. It seems many Canadians travel to warm spots (along with UK’er’s). We met someone who said on her first trip to Portugal, she knew immediately. She went back, got her kids and left for good. AZ also gets a lot of Canadian visitors. They are friendly people.
We mailed in ballots, which were tracked and counted within 2 days. I have a luncheon with 3 other women on Thursday to discuss the election. I asked my hubs to fill in for me but he declined. Deep Breaths….
You are right about hiking and walking keeping me ready to walk all over when we travel. We log a lot of steps on hills of cobblestones, tiled stones, some with mud and dirt, steps, more steps and oh my so many steps. By the way, I love steps. My view is walk 20-30 minutes up hill to get to a Castle to walk an hour or two with more steps, then walk down hill to a town square, then uphill to the room, then up a few flights of steps to get to the room. Just when you hit the wall – more steps. Loved it 🙂

Frank Sinatra Lyrics
“The Best Is Yet To Come”

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started in to hum
Still, it’s a real good bet, the best is yet to come

Best is yet to come and babe, won’t that be fine?
You think you’ve seen the sun, but you ain’t seen it shine

A-wait till the warm-up’s underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

The best is yet to come and babe, won’t it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine

Come the day you’re mine
I’m gonna teach you to fly
We’ve only tasted the wine
We’re gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround
You think you’ve flown before, but baby, you ain’t left the ground

A-wait till you’re locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain’t nothin’ like it here

The best is yet to come and babe, won’t it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine

Come the day you’re mine
And you’re gonna be mine

This song was written by HSN Lional Ritchie and Michael Jackson

We Are the World
Song by U.S.A. for Africa

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We’re all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and mee
We are the world (are the world)
We are the children (are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There is a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, let me hear you!
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (said we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a brighter day
Just you and me, come on now, let me hear you
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day

And we’re saving our own lives

We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives

All right, can you hear what I said? (So let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making, we’re saving our own lives

Baby Come to Me
Song by James Ingram and Patti Austin

Thinkin’ back in time
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain’t no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don’t let it slide
There’s a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh-so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to living without you
Spendin’ every dime
To keep you talkin’ on the line
That’s how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There’s a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh-so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to living without you
The night can be cold
There’s a chill to every evening when you’re all alone
Don’t talk anymore
‘Cause you know that I’ll be here to keep you warm
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh-so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby, always stay
Come to me
This was meant to be
Need you everyday
Baby, always stay
I can’t go back to living without you
Without you
Without you

Off the Wall
Song by Michael Jackson

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can’t hang with the feeling
Then there ain’t no room for you, this part of town
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy, that’s the only way
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself
Groove
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all
Live your life off the wall
(Live your life off the wall)
Live it off the wall
You can shout out all you want to
‘Cause there ain’t no sin an’ folks all gettin’ loud
If you take the chance an’ do it
Then there ain’t no one who’s gonna put you down
‘Cause we’re the party people, night an’ day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself
Step on and groove
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all
Live your life off the wall
(Live your life off the wall)
Live it off the wall
Do what you want to do
There ain’t no rules, it’s up to you
(Ain’t no rules, it’s up to you)
It’s time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose, deep inside your soul
Wanna see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C’mon and groove
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
(Life ain’t so bad at all)
Live it off the wall
(Live your life off the wall)
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself
C’mon and groove (Groove)
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you livin’ off the wall
Tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
(Livin’ off the wall)
An’ just enjoy yourself (Life is better off)
C’mon and groove (Livin’ off the wall)
Let the madness in the music get to you (Life is better off)
Life ain’t so bad at all (Livin’ off the wall)
Wanna dance (Tonight, off the wall)
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself

It’s My Party
Song by Lesley Gore

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he’s supposed to be mine?
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Playin’ my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
‘Til Johnny’s dancing with me
I’ve got no reason to smile
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her King
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy’s wearin’ his ring
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Oh, it’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
It’s my party…

Lesley Gore, “It’s My Party” (1963)
Hanging onto his love of Latin percussion and cool hot brass, Jones — who not only produced the song but signed 16-year-old Gore to Mercury Records — created one of pop’s angstiest adolescent hits. With its double-tracked vocals, handclap beat, quirky chord changes, aggressive brass and contagious melody, “It’s My Party” out Spector-ed Phil Spector’s girl-group wall of sound at its commercial peak.

Hello Sheba 🌹,
I hope you are well enjoying the fall season 🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂.
Happy election day. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting. The work is done and now hopefully we can start to rest.

I will start to decorate the house for the holidays. This year I want to decorate early and the entire house not leaving any room not decorated. Both inside and outside. I ordered some Christmas lights and a few other things for the outside.
I see that Taylor Swift arrived at the Chiefs-Buccaneers game with mom Andrea.
Take care Sheba 🌹🌹🌹

RIP Quincy Jones. Here are some of the artists and songs he made magic with.
