Hot Fun in the Summertime
Song by Sly and the Family Stone

End of the spring
And here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
That’s when I had
Most of my fun, back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is true
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
First of the fall
And then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there
Them summer days
Those summer days
Boop-boop-boop-boop
When I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything is cool
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime (hey, hey, hey, ooh)
Hot fun in the summertime (ooh, yeah)
Hot fun in the summertime

Sly & The Family Stone Lyrics
“Everybody Is A Star”

Everybody is a star
Who could rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
Who will come out on a cloudy day?

‘Tis the sun that loves you ’round
When the system tries to bring you down
Every had to shine at night
You don’t need darkness to do what you think is right

Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be

Ever catch a falling star
Ain’t no stopping ’til it’s on the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle goin round and round

Shine, shine, shine, shine

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎Oodie I hope you are feeling better today.
I hope you can have closure on the Renovation one way or another.

I am sure your husband can’t wait to see you. OZ is alright today we are mid 70’s.

Oz need rain like last week. LOL!

My flowers and plants are still growing like crazy. 😎🎈💕

Oodie take your time today and if you feel you cannot go out just wait another day. 🎈

@sheba2011

I’m laughing at your last remark. It reminds me of Mark Twain when he said “if you don’t like New England weather, just wait a minute.” It’s raining buckets here. I’m just thankful it is not a hurricane. We need a nice, gentle rain.

I awoke with chills, headache and a mild sore throat. Not sure if it’s sinus, cold or the beginnings of something else. I will be staying away from the rehab and maybe that’s a good thing. The routes I use do get flooded and when the nights come along, it is hard to see puddles, or a mini flood in the road. There are no street lights. Children are also out riding their bikes in dark clothes with no headlights or pedal lights. I surmise that the parent doesn’t check on their children before venturing out when it is dark. Oops, excuse me. That goes for the grown up as well. Just remembered after visiting hubby on Saturday that a person was wearing a dark shirt with dark shorts. If his legs weren’t showing I could have hit him. He was in the road, walking.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening good lord you are under the weather. Please stay away from the Rehab.
I would hate for anyone to get even slightly sick. I see Florida is having some rain and I
am thankful it’s not a Hurricane. 😎

Please take it easy just take what meds you need and rest.

Oz will rain in the morning and than we are back to Indian Summer. 😎🎈 Well Shucks!

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California I do believe you are on the go this month. 🎈😎

Taci my next door neighbor has gone to Greece, Istanbul and Barcelona, Spain.
I already have some pics he sent me I am keeping an eye on his house. 🎈😎

Wishing you safe travels. 😎🎈

Sheba, Hello! what a great neighbor you are. Around here people don’t really speak to their neighbors but then again maybe that also makes for some good neighbors.
Glad its cooling down in Oz. We are still very hot and humid. My plants are becoming crispy even with watering and adding more soil to them. The HOA also cut down some huge lovely trees that were here forever, and maybe that was what caused my bug event? I wont be posting too much as I have appts and errands to do before hand. My tooth issue was fixed the next day but I have had to go back 2 times and tomorrow one last time. Hope that’s behind me for a while. Son returned safely from his trip.
Hope Poppy is doing well.

@taci,

Good Evening I knew you had some irons in the fire. So glad you got your tooth fixed.
I go in for cleaning and routine check-up. 😎

I know you have much to do before you are off and running.

Glad your son made it back safely. My kids are like that they have traveled all over
and will hop on a plane in a New York Minute. 😎🎈💕One daughter works for HBO
and they fly her all over the world for certain events. Daughter has met more famous
people than me and it’s all her job. I like her with Anderson Cooper they work well
together. 😎

Neighbor is having a ball traveling through Europe. LOL! Hey live while you can. 😎
You see my cats live under his Deck that is their shelter and he had two cats I use
to watch inside his house when he traveled. I always the keys to make the cats ate
and such been doing this for years when I don’t travel or I am available.

Happy Trails. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎Lady what did you think of the Opens? I did see some
surprises. Sorry Amanda did not win.

Chiefs Kingdom are keeping our heads up. 😎🎈💕Hey it’s not over.

We are cloudy and alright in OZ just waiting for some wonderful rain.

Sending good Monday Vibes to you and Jake. 💕🎈😎

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. Another perfect day here. I enjoyed the Open, just disappointed that Amanda lost. KC has 16 more games to go and they could win them all so not over yet.👍 Don’t know if you watched the game last night. My best friend’s granddaughter is dating one of the Ravens. They were way ahead and lost in the last two minutes. On to next week.

We need a little rain also.🌧 Half our grass is brown and what is green hasn’t been cut in almost three weeks. Doesn’t seem to be a happy medium anymore. Hubs at a charity golf outing all day and evening so no cooking, yay!

Have a nice evening, sending lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I wanted Amada to win and some of them look so emotional when they
lose. I felt for them. The Player that just beat his Racket said it all. 😎

I know still more Plays to be played. Hang in there.

Travis and Mahomes is all the talk with the new Eatery. If you try to get a reservation
good luck with that. I will get one it’s all in who you know. 😎💕🎈

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are showing fans what they can expect at their all-new steakhouse, 1587 Prime

The Super Bowl-winning teammates are taking their game to the next level with the upcoming opening of their highly anticipated Kansas City-based eatery.

This is the actual Restaurant still under construction this will open later this month. 💕😎

Enjoy the drink. Sweet Dreams. 😎💕🎈Enjoy what you do.

@sheba2011

This looks like the perfect dinner to me!!!🦞🍸

@shoelady60

This is one of the reasons why I miss New England. I love lobster. I do not use the butter or the lemon. I love the taste of fresh seafood that has it’s own sweetness if you eat it while it is still fresh.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten here is to a wonderful new week. 😎🎈

Club Tropicana
Song by Wham!

Let me take you to the place
Where membership’s a smiling face
Brush shoulders with the stars
Where strangers take you by the hand
And welcome you to wonderland
From beneath their panamas
Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone
All that’s missing is the sea
But don’t worry, you can suntan
Castaways and lovers meet
Then kiss in Tropicana’s heat
Watch the waves break on the bay
Oh soft white sands, a blue lagoon
Cocktail time, a summer’s tune
A whole night’s holiday
Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone
All that’s missing is the sea
But don’t worry, you can suntan
Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone
All that’s missing is the sea
But don’t worry, you can suntan
Pack your bags
And leave tonight
Don’t take your time
Gotta move your feet, don’t you miss the flight!
Pack your bags
And leave tonight
Don’t take your time
Gotta move your feet, don’t you miss the flight
(Cool, cool, cool, cool)
Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone
All that’s missing is the sea
But don’t worry, you can suntan!

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I did read your post from last night. 🎈😎
I am still hopeful that things will work out with the renovation.

Oz is alright today we are in the 70’s. The sniffles are easing up. 💕😎

I hope this is a good Sunday for you and hubby. 💕 I wish you had a few hands
to help you.

@sheba2011

Yesterday’s weather left a lot to be desired. It was hot and the UV index was high. I made a dash to Costco. I normally do not make this trip on a weekend, but my Benadryl had an expiration date and I needed that and a few other things. Parking was minimum. I found a spot equivalent to two blocks away. Going from car to the entrance was not an easy task. I think I spent an hour at the warehouse and bought not only the meds, but some other items as well. I picked up their shrimp salad and the Cervice with shrimp. Also their vegetable container that included an Apple Cider Vinegar Vinaigrette (which I will save for hubby).. The warehouse was also on the warm side. I thought of stopping at the food court for a soda, then decided to wait until I got to the Rehab. I had purchased some items for the Nurse’s station as well as for the receptionist. Walking back to the car in the heat and humidity took it’s toll. I thought I had water, and must have left it by the front door. I knew I was in trouble by the time I made it to the parking lot which was 5 miles from Costco. Thankfully, there was water at the nurse’s station. I also had two bottles in hubby’s room. The water at the nurse’s station did not agree with me. It was from the tap with ice. The tap water has tons of chemicals from factories and other things thrown in. This is why I purchase bottled ones. Hubby was really concerned when he saw me. He moved over and wanted me to join him in bed. That is a definite NO NO. His wheelchair served as a seat since the room has no chairs for visitors. I bought a package of Tiramisu from Costco and gave one glass to hubby and I had one for myself. I left after 8:30 pm. I had a sandwich in the frig that I made earlier and had that for dinner. Then I couldn’t keep my eyes opened. I didn’t see hubs today. Spent the day drinking the Smart Water. Feel much better. Energy level is back. This taught me a hard lesson.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening oh my what a day you had. I am glad you had a day to yourself. 🎈😎
Some days you have to do you.

I think you run all over the place every day and you always think of others when you pick
up food. I think that is so sweet. I am concerned about the water be careful the weather
can be insane. Just take it easy tonight.

I wish you a nice gentle rain that would make the night perfect. 💕😎

I am about to have a nice Perlier Bath I brought the honey creme bath wash and lotion
last week and I am loving the smell of Honey and how soft my skin is. 💕

Oodie here is to a wonderful evening. 😎I wish you could have sat with your husband.

This image reminds me of your two homes in New England. 💕

@taci,

Good day in S. California here is to a great week ahead. 💕😎🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎OZ is beautiful today. This will be a slow day for me.
Feeling a lot better the sniffles are easing up.

Hubby is taking me out for bit. I need to get some fall things for the house. 💕🎈

Wishing you a relaxing and calm Sunday. 😎💕🎈

Enjoy some tea on your deck wishing you and Jake a peaceful Sunday. 💕

@sheba2011

A little windy today but beautiful like Oz. The whole week looks like great weather.

Have a nice afternoon shopping around. Glad you feel better. Loved your comment last night, a woman after my own heart, LOL😂 I hope you enjoyed the apple martini.🍸

Watching the tennis match and getting ready to bake some chicken. Sending Sunday hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I am bummed about the lost so I may as well handle it. 😎

🎶Don’t worry baby everything is working out alright.🎶💕

Enjoy I am getting caught on it’s been an interesting Game. 😎🎈

@kittengirl,

Good day in California Kitten I hope this is a great Sunday for you and your family. 🎈😎

NATIONAL COFFEE ICE CREAM DAY

On September 6, National Coffee Ice Cream Day permits us to indulge in a caffeinated dessert. Coffee lovers will delight in the opportunity, especially if they also enjoy ice cream.

NATIONAL HUMMINGBIRD DAY

National Hummingbird Day happens during the first Saturday in September on the National Day Calendar. We are sharing our curiosity about the beautiful and tiny little bird known as the hummingbird. We want everyone to spread their wings today and learn facts, history, and folklore on National Hummingbird Day.

NATIONAL TAILGATING DAY

On the first Saturday in September, National Tailgating Day reminds us of what the autumn colors and scents already do. Those colors signal grilling time and a season of cheering on our favorite teams!

NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY

National Read a Book Day is observed annually on September 6th. On August 9th, we all celebrated National Book Lovers Day. While these bookish days may seem similar, National Read a Book Day invites us ALL to grab a book we might enjoy and spend the day reading.

NATIONAL PLAY OUTSIDE DAY

The first Saturday of every month is National Play Outside Day. This National Day presents opportunity to remind everyone to get outside and enjoy the fresh air through play.

Don’t Miss September’s Brilliant Corn Moon! 🌕 ✨💫

The pumpkins, apples, and vegetables are ready for harvest and the bright light of the full Moon gives us the extra time needed to finish our preparations for winter. The energy of the September Moon settles us into a slower rhythm after the summer’s adventures. It is time to consider the light we will carry with us into the coming darkness.
As the Moon waxes, we draw in the remaining light and warmth. We draw in those things that will sustain us during the coming dark.

As the Moon wanes, we release any regrets or worries that prevent us from willingly entering winter’s darkness.

Good Day Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 🎈😎

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I hope this is a good day for you.
Perhaps you have some shopping to do.

Oz was cold last night and today we are in the 70’s. I have a mild cold and will ride it out. 😎

We have the Sun today hubby is doing yard work. 😎🎈

Oodie let me know if this renovation will go on without a hitch. There is always something.
My concern is getting your husband home and I am sure that is yours as well.

I don’t know how you do it. Oodie both of you are always in my prayers.

Let me know how things go for you today. 🎈😎💕Hang in there my friend.

@sheba2011

I finally made it to Costco. I was surprised at some of the prices going up $1 0r more. Guess it may be do to the tariffs. Forgot to check on the price of gas, but as it turned out, I didn’t fill up. Costco is about 5 miles West of the Rehab, so hurried to see hubby.

Hubby looked good. I was visiting with the receptionist and missed out on hubby’s dinner. I brought her some shrimp salad from Costco. She puts in a 10 hour day and by the time she leaves, she is too tired to shop for food. This should help through the weekend.

This will be a short hello. I am so tired and looking forward to putting the feet up and doing some
jigsaw puzzles on Kindle. I will say goodnight and hope you feel better. It could still be a form of a sinus infection since we are heading into the fall season. Take care and enjoy the moonlight.

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California here is to a great weekend. 😎🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎Oz is alright we are in the lower 70’s. Hubs had on
one of our Dyson Heaters last night. I don’t think so I turned it off! I like it cool. 💕😎LOL!

I have a very mild cold but I am much better today and I am opening all the windows.

Last night’s Game was a bummer for my Team. I did not watched hubby gave up and went
to bed. I had a feeling this would not go our way. Oh well better luck to us next time. 😎

I am going to have some beauty treatments today. 😎💕This is routine beauty works. LOL!

Hey wishing you and Jake a great Weekend. Thank you for being here. 😎🎈😘

Tennis is getting really interesting right about now. 💕😎

@sheba2011

Cool Saturday in the ‘burgh. I have the Ladies final on right now, go Amanda!🎾

Sorry about the game yesterday. I saw a little of it but went to bed before it was over. Maybe Taylor needs to be there for good luck.🤞 They have won most of the games she’s attended.

Sounds like you and my sister have the same slight cold. Talked to her this afternoon and she says she feels pretty good. Hope the beauty treatments are relaxing you.😚

Quick dinner with leftovers from yesterday. Have a calm evening, no game, LOL! Maybe a cup of spiced tea.☕ Lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening Lady after that game last night I am going to need something a bit stronger
than tea. 😎My heart is with the team always. 💕🎈

Here is to a chilly and beautiful Saturday Night. 😘😎

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good Day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I hope everything is going alright for
you with the renovation. Hoping your husband is doing well too.

Miss ya here is to a wonderful Friday. 🎈😎

@sheba2011

I wasn’t able to sign in for three days. Kept hitting the sign in button and followed the advice of CS and nothing happened until now. You three had not only a wonderful Labor Day weekend but a surprise from Colorado as well. Maybe not doing this page for a few days gave you an opportunity to be with family . That may have turned out to be a good thing.

Not sure if the renovation is happening. I think the last thing I mentioned was that the measurer was here and with the help of whomever was on the other end of his cell, the work was accomplished. This person also showed me a picture of a tile that was beautiful. However, it is a marbleized picture with gray going through it. Not exactly my beach theme, but on the right track. Then I received a call from a contractor stating he would be here in two weeks and that he cannot do a glass partition. Going into a closet area is not feasible because of the thermostat. When I mentioned to get in touch with the company I am doing business with, he had no idea who they were. I cancelled his coming immediately. Thus phone calls started last week which also included emails calls. No answer. Finally, I got a bit nasty and received a phone call yesterday. I explained the situation with a shower curtain and they agreed. He also mentioned coming to our home with other samples. Meanwhile, next week the people who service our air conditioner are also licensed electricians. I contacted the office on another matter, like installing lightbulbs outside and in our hallway ceiling fixture. I am deathly afraid of heights where there is nothing to hold on to. Consequently, I am looking at ladders with railings that may help in this situation. I also did some homework on getting hubby from home to a retail store. Very interesting. Seems that food delivery people may also be equipped with handicapped vans. This is something I will be looking into. They also will take me as a passenger. That will help. T will be able to take my freezer totes into the Farmer’s Market. What fun for hubby…..😂😂😂. At this point, I’m not sure if this is done in every State.

Yes, I am concerned with the Governor of Florida doing away with necessary vaccines for children. When I was about two years old I contacted measles. Only problem, it took many days before the physician knew I had them. From what my mom told me is that he stayed in the apartment with me for days on end until the rash appeared. I was near death several times. Temp was up there. Then many years later there was the polio crisis. Many of my friends had it, some past away as well. Then came a vaccine and everything subsided. You hear the same with Smallpox. What about Covid?? If vaccines become a thing of the past, then I may be looking at a different State. I wonder what other people might think about coming here for a week or two or longer during the winter. Enough said. Scary what the world is coming to.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening glad you were able to sign-in. I did have a few good days with my family.
We even went to visit our Step-Mom. 😎

We had a huge red moon due to the fire in Canada. This was an eerie sight.

I am sorry the Renovation is hitting a brick wall. I do hope getting hubby out will
cheer him up and you. 🎈

I have a slight early season cold I am sneezing we are around 60 degrees and I always get
this way when the weather change like overnight. I think the cats don’t mind at all.

Oodie a good cup of tea will do you good and a good book would not hurt either. 💕

@sheba2011

Well hi there stranger!! I guess we all took an unplanned vacation.😎🏖 Glad we’re back.

Just got home from an early dinner with a couple friends. Very nice day, cooler over the weekend but I’m not complaining. Sounds like you were busy with family so the break came at a good time for you.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Crazy month for me with appointments and get togethers for birthdays.🎂 Sept./Oct. always seems to be the busiest months. I’ll probably gain at least five pounds from all the lunches, dinners, cakes and ice cream.🍰🍨

Fall hugs to you and my step-pup.🤗💖 Go Chiefs!!👍

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I am not watching the Game it is too tense for me. Hubby is staring like
crazy. I can not sit there and see what I see. LOL!

Here is to a nice Fall Evening. 💕😘😎

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten welcome to Fall. 🎈

The Summer Knows
Song by Barbra Streisand

The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows, the summer’s wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summertime
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world ’round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all
And if you’ve learned your lesson well
There’s little more for her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall
And if you’ve learned your lesson well
There’s little more for her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall

Calling Heidi Daus. 😎❤️😘

In fact, we want to provide and promote opportunities for every child to grow physically and emotionally through the power of sports.

ACCORDING TO HOYLE DAY

According to Hoyle Day on August 29 encourages individuals to honor the rules and regulations in particular situations. It’s also a day to pay tribute to a man by the name of Edmond Hoyle, an Englishman who was thought to be the first technical writer on card games.

Hoyle was born in 1672. At the age of 69, he began teaching a card game called Whist to wealthy high-society members in London. Whist is a game that is played by two teams of two players and requires logical skills, along with skills in mathematics. The card game was especially popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many people in the United States and all over the world still play Whist.

Along with playing and teaching the game, Hoyle wrote a manuscript on the subject. He sold this manuscript to his card-playing students. He later published his manuscript under the title, “A Short Treatise on the Game of Whist.” The rules of the card game were regarded as authoritative until 1864 when new rules were established. These new rules were eventually adopted by card-playing clubs in London and private social clubs in the United States.

Along with Whist, Hoyle wrote about the laws and strategies of hundreds of games, including Chess and Backgammon. Hoyle died on August 29, 1769, at the age of 97.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. 🎈

One Less Bell to Answer
Song by The 5th Dimension ‧

One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry (cry, cry, no more laughter)
Oh, I should be happy (oh, why did he go?)
I only know that since he left, my life’s so empty
Though I try to forget
It just can’t be done
Each time the doorbell rings
I still run
I don’t know how in the world
To stop thinking of him
‘Cause I still love him so
I end each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out
Ooh, one less man to pick up after
No more laughter
No more love
Since he went, oh he went away (he went away)
Why did he leave me? (Oh why, why did he leave?)
Now I’ve got one less egg to fry (one less bell to answer), one less egg to fry
And all I do is cry (Oh why, why did he leave?)
Somebody tell me please where did he go, why did he go?
(Oh why, why did he leave) Tell me, how could he leave me?

Up, Up and Away
Song by The 5th Dimension ‧

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We’ll find a cloud to hide us
We’ll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the sky
For we can, fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon
Up, up, and away

Let The Sunshine In (Reprise) (Remastered 2000)
Song by The 5th Dimension

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation, Aquarius
Aquarius
When the moon (when the moon) is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter (Jupiter) aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in
The sun shine in
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in
The sun shine in
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in (oh, let it shine)
(Come on) the sun shine in (now everybody just sing along)
Let the sunshine (and let the sun shine on in), let the sun shine in
(Open up your heart) the sun shine in (and let it shine on you)
(And when you lonely) let the sunshine (hey, let it shine), let the sun shine in
(You gotta open up your heart) the sun shine in (and let it shine on in)
(And when you feel like you been mistreated)
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in (and your friends turn their backs upon ya)
(Just open up your heart) the sun shine in (let it shine on in)
(You got to feel it) let the sunshine (you got to feel it), let the sun shine in
(Oh, open up your heart) the sun shine in (and let it shine on in)
(Now, let me tell you one thing)
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in (I want you to sing along with the 5th dimension)
(Hey, and open up your heart) the sun shine in (oh c’mon)
Let the sunshine (and let it shine), let the sun shine in
(Glory day) the sun shine in
(Hey, you got to feel it) let the sunshine (you got to feel it), let the sun shine in
(When you open up your heart) the sun shine in (you got to let the sun come on in)
(Now I say, in the morning) let the sunshine, (late in the evening), let the sun shine in
(Open up your heart) the sun shine in
(Hey, when you’re feeling low) let the sunshine

Remembering Laura who passed on August 26, 2004. May she RIP! 😎

Gloria
Song by Laura Branigan ‧

Gloria, you’re always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you’ve got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you’re headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it
You really don’t remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?
If everybody wants you, why isn’t anybody callin’?
You don’t have to answer
Leave them hangin’ on the line, oh oh oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
A ha ha, a ha ha, Gloria, how’s it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don’t believe it’s comin’ back soon
And you really don’t remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?
If everybody wants you, why isn’t anybody callin’?
You don’t have to answer
Leave them hangin’ on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
