Walk right in....................

YouTube - Rooftop Singers -Walk Right In

[intro folk guitar]

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'

Do you want to lose your mind?

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Walk right in, sit right down

Baby, let your hair hang down

Walk right in, sit right down

Baby, let your hair hang down

Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'

Do you want to lose your mind?

Walk right in, sit right down

Baby, let your hair hang down

[guitar interlude]

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'

Do you want to lose your mind?

Walk right in, sit right down

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Daddy, let your mind roll on

Hey Kathy!

Got my new washer today from Loews. A General Electric.

Hubby did the installing. I had to rinse the small black load of clothes that was in mid-wash Saturday. Everything is working good.

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

Helen Keller quotes (American Author and Educator who was blind and deaf. 1880-1968)

An 1888 photo of Helen Keller with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, has been released by the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston.

The photo, taken on a family vacation on Cape Cod, shows an eight-year-old Keller, with a doll cradled in her lap, holding hands with Sullivan. Experts believe this could be the oldest photo of the two women together, as well as the only one of Keller with one of her beloved dolls.

Hey Odie! Hey G#Gill! My Wednesday was busy at work......but still great! I'm winding down now.

Friends of Distinction - Going In Circles Lyrics

I'm an ever rollin' wheel, without a destination real.

I'm an ever spinning top, whirling around till I drop.

Oh but what am I to do, my mind is in a whirlpool.

Give me a little hope, one small thing to cling to.

You got me going in circles (oh round and round I go)

You got me going in circles

(oh round and round I go, I'm spun out over you)

I'm a faceless clock, with timeless hopes that never stop.

Lord but I feel that way, of my soul. My soul is stay.

Oh but what am I to do, my mind is in a whirlpool.

Give me a little hope, one small thing to cling to.

You got me going in circles (oh round and round I go)

You got me going in circles

(oh round and round I go) I'm spun out over you

(I need you baby) over you (I need you baby) spun out over you.

(I need you baby, I need you baby baby)

I'm spun (I need you baby) I said I'm spun out over you (I need you baby)

Spun out over you (I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby)

Here's the actual song;

Dizzy yet?:wah:

Let's get up and move to this..............

YouTube - Edwin Starr - 25 Miles

No........you don't have to walk 25 miles. :wah:

Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh

Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah

It's twenty five miles from home

Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad

Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights

You know that I'm mighty mad

But I got a woman waiting for me

That's gonna make this trip worthwhile

You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing

A make a man go stone wild

So I got to keep on walkin'

I got to walk on, oh ho ho

I, I, I, I'm so tired

But I just can't lose my stride

I got fifteen miles to go now

And I can hear my baby calling my name

It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door

I can hear that doggone plain

Now I'll be so glad to see my baby

And hold her in my arms

Now when I kiss her lips

I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine

I got to keep on walkin'

I got to walk on oh ho ho

I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride

Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired

But I just can't lose my stride

Come on feet don't fail me now

I got ten more miles to go

I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six

I got a five more miles to go

Now over the hill just around the bend

Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride

I got to get to my baby again

I just took a stroll through our yard with my camera. I took these photos of a palm tree we have out there. Not sure what kind it is...but it sure has filled out since Hubby planted it. As you can see, there is a large white trunk/bulb growing in the middle of the leaves.

Willow

And I grew up in patterned tranquillity,

In the cool nursery of the young century.

And the voice of man was not dear to me,

But the voice of the wind I could understand.

But best of all the silver willow.

And obligingly, it lived

With me all my life; it's weeping branches

Fanned my insomnia with dreams.

And strange!--I outlived it.

There the stump stands; with strange voices

Other willows are conversing

Under our, under those skies.

And I am silent...As if a brother had died.

January 18, 1940

~Anna Akhmatova

My Horoscope for the day:

June 16, 2010

Leo (7/23-8/22)

Sometimes all you need is one little spark, and then suddenly, it's as if everything is illuminated. The answer to a torturous problem you've had at work might bear with it unexpected and welcome gifts -- such as a whole new perspective on what's been going on in your relationships and your private life as well. This realization should give you the power to change things around here -- for the better.

I kinda like this quote:

“To the dull mind nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)

:)

And this one:

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Today is officially the first day of summer. :-6

GREEN LEAVES OF SUMMER

Theme from the film "The Alamo" (1960)

(Paul Francis Webster / Dimitri Tiomkin)

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.

The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.

'Twas so good to be young then, in a season of plenty,

When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky.

A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'.

A time to be courtin' a girl of your own.

'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,

And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth.

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.

The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.

'Twas so good to be young then, with the sweet smell of apples,

And the owl in the pine tree a-winkin' his eye.

A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'.

A time just for livin', a place for to die.

'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,

Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.

'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,

Now the green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.

Here are two links to different versions of the music. Which one do you like better?
