It's almost the end of August already. Where has this year gone? Soon Summer will be over too. Fall will be welcome but that dastardly Winter will come again. It's been a pretty good Summer, many hot days for sure. Much better since I retired. I don't have to melt at work and as hot as it has been I sure I would have. This week we had some cool mornings. Perfect to have the doors open and get some fresh air instead of just the AC. Monday there was a knock on the door. It was a woman who had a tablet in her hand. She shared a quote from the Bible. I can't remember which book it came out of or whether she said where she was from. And that was it, just two minutes to share an inspirational word to a stranger. She left no information of a church she probably belonged to or anything else. Wherever she came from I thought it was nice thing to do. 
So as usual I've been listening to the 60's station on Sirius and those years had so much great music. I could post some 20 videos but don't worry I won't. Every time I listen I think "that's a good song to put in my blog". So I will go with one from today. Happy Labor Day..

It's August 11, 2019. What?? This year is flying by now. Time has sped up. Seems like it anyway. Another wonderful week here. The Summer wanted at long last. Another round of golf yesterday with my brother and nephew. Good times. Like usual when I sit down to write a post, I'm never sure what I'm going to tap on the keys. I've been enjoying this retirement so much that I can't seem to come up with new ideas for a post. So I'll use old ideas. I've been listening to this 60's station when I take off in my car and am really enjoying the songs from the past. More so than many that are the new artists these days. Also I tune in to a channel called the Coffee House. It plays acoustic songs. Many by new artists and a better version of their songs than their pop radio versions. Back to the 60's. Here's one just about everyone knows. It was not only a 60's hit but was and is performed by many artists. I don't even know if this 60's version I'm about to post is the original or not but it was the one that became a hit. You've also heard this song in many tv shows and movies. That's it for this week's post. Until next time. Peace, Love and Rock n' Roll...

 

Sunday 8-4-2019

I took Sunday to heart this week. Just relaxed most of the day until I went golfing with my brother and nephew this afternoon. We're getting a real pleasant Summer now. At least this week. Not real hot, not real humid. Dry and lots of sunshine. There were lots of clouds today which made it pretty cool with the sun peaking out from behind them. Pretty clouds. There's only so many days a year you see pretty clouds and sun. Anyhoo I went backwards with my golf game today. My worst score in weeks. Still it was fun.
There was that reality this morning watching the news. The sick world which we live in reared its ugly head. Two mass shootings so close together. One in the state I live in.  Why don't these monsters just shoot themselves instead of destroying other peoples lives. There should be no mercy. Destroy the monsters right away. It's no wonder they exist. With so much hate talk going on in the present. Sorry for the rant but this stuff just makes me crazy.
Around a month ago I think I signed up for Sirius radio in my car. For years I've gotten deals from them begging me to. I've always ignored them This one was better and it also will not auto renew when the offer is over. So I am paying around $4 a month for hundreds of stations. Like cable tv and that stuff, there's only so many that are of interest. Basically I've been listening to the 60's station for the last two weeks. There's a lot of songs I didn't remember and many I never knew the titles or artist. I was a kid in 60's lol. So to finish this blog off here's one I remember the group and their other songs pretty well but this one I didn't remember the title. Let me take you back to the past. When music was the best....
