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

Let It Go
Song by Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Thank you Sheba, Taci and Shoelday for helping me through this. This person was special and was our matron of honor at our wedding many many years ago. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the funeral. However, I just learned that it will be televised over closed circuit and those that cannot attend in person will be able to be part of the congregation from wherever they are. The family, at one time almost lived door-to-door. But as we grew older we all went in different directions. Each of us took different paths. With the advent of the computer, cell phones, androids, etc., e-mail has become the choice. Some of us long for the days of our youth when family would get together for the holidays and then find some excuse in between. Those were the days that the only loud bang was from the sound of thunder or a firecracker on the 4th of July. You could walk late at night without a problem where the only sound you heard were your footsteps. Times changed in a blink of an eye. We were from totally different generations. We never looked down, always looked ahead to the new adventures.

Hubs is OK. I brought him shrimp cocktail and some dessert. His dinner from the rehab was soso. He had steak fries with chicken nuggets and cole slaw. Not something I would have chosen for dinner. At least it wasn’t pureed. He asked me to go to the Farmer’s Market for fruit. He gave me a list. Stone fruit is on sale and is one of my favorites. However, I will venture out that way the end of the week.

We are expecting rain for the next three days beginning tomorrow. Hubs also asked for Asian food. I will need to figure out what he can eat. I am being extremely careful. I do not want him coughing up a storm. Temps this week will be over 100. UV index is up as well. Never a dull moment in Florida.

Sorry to hear about your cousin. I will remember her in my prayers tonight.🙏

@sheba2011

Not feeling very well today. Tired and sluggish, no energy. Slept a few hours this afternoon and going to bed early tonight. Hope I feel better tomorrow.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I feel so much better today. I don’t know what happened yesterday.
So strange and the feeling was strange I said not me! I snap out that fog! 😎

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. I did read your post from last night. Taci you are right
and my family has my phone ringing off the hook to remind me to just enjoy
the day. 💕🎈😎

I am coming out of a haze where everything hits you at once. My niece called and she
is feeling much better that itself is another story. All good now. 💕

I did not like what I was feeling I felt like a different person ah I don’t think so!
I knew in time this would pass and it did. 😎

I know all too well what your husband is going through. Keeping your family in my
prayers.

@oodiebom,
