Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics
“At The Zoo”

Someone told me it’s all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it, I do believe it’s true.
It’s a light and tumble journey
From the East side to the park.
Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo.
But you can take the cross-town bus
If it’s raining or it’s cold.
And the animals will love it if you do.

Something tells me it’s all happening at the zoo.
I do believe it, I do believe it’s true.
The monkeys stand for honesty.
Giraffes are insincere.
And the elephants are kindly but they’re dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages
And the zoo keeper is very fond of rum.
Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries.
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas you got to come and see
At the zoo.

It is extremely hot and muggy today. No rain in sight. From what I’ve read it’s equivalent to 106 degrees or better. Suffice to say I will stay home. I tried to reach the receptionist all afternoon but received voice mail instead. There is no way I will stand outside in this heat waiting for someone to open the front door to the rehab. I just hope and pray that hubby isn’t outside.

Some of the prices at Amazon were pretty good. I had a list of things I needed for the house and a few for myself. I stuck to the list. The only thing I questioned was the new Kindle Colorfast Reader. I decided to pass since the Kindle I have also is a library. Normally, Prime Day is a good time to purchase an Amazon product. Most are selling between 35% and 50% off. Black Friday and Cyber week these are normally marked 25% off. But, this year is a bit crazy. So I could be wrong.

Last night I found a visitor in our bathtub. A beige gecko decided to pay a visit. He was in the tub and for some reason could not climb out. I found an empty shoe box with a cover and coaxed it into the box. I brought the box outside and he was happy to see where he was. I also needed water and on the return had another visitor. This time a snake. Brown in color and small. The only portion I actually saw was the tail and made a fast move up the three steps and into the house. I just hope the gecko saw it as well. Both were close by as I ventured for water. In all honesty, I am absolutely terrified of reptiles and that also includes the small geckos.

Have a great afternoon and evening. It is almost the weekend. Where did this week go?????

@sheba2011

Went grocery shopping early this morning.🛒 Then I played secretary for my husband’s golf league trip next month. He has had a signed contract for at least six months with this hotel and for unknown reasons, they can’t seem to get it right so Superwoman is now in the middle.💪 Yuk, I hate doing this.😝

I did catch most of both Wimbledon matches today. I hope the women’s final tomorrow is a good one!

Picked up some chicken for dinner and getting ready to throw a small pasta salad together. Hot today and all weekend. Hang in there, stay cool, summer hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖
