TO ALL AT B. I. A. -- HAVE A HAPPY JOY-FILLED SUMMER!!! (1181 hits)

SUMMERTIME
by George and Ira Gershwin
sung by Billie Holliday


Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high


Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry


One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky


But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by


Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high


Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

i guess i do have more time than usual to enjoy the Rain, Sun and Growth

your summertime inspiration, allowed me to remember some friends that had released a song, after their reversion to AlIslaam----

'Summer Madness' ----- by Kool and the Gang

and WOW did that bring a HAPPY JOY-FILLED moment to the first day of my Summer..

@Siebra...SNOBALLS.!!! LOL!
Make a homemade one with crushed ice and your favorite Kool-aid flavor. Its add some corn syrup to the Kool-aid mix to make it thicker. It's a good substitute.

I'll be sure of that!

It's been super hot lately here in New Orleans. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids to avoid getting overheated, dehydrated and sick. If you don't like plain water, try putting a little lemon, cucumber and sweetener in it, then let it sit overnight. It gives it a refreshing taste... as well as nutrition.

Also, hibiscus tea is good- especially for children. It is red like Kool-Aid and has a mild floral/fruity flavor. It's great for iced tea. It also helps with high blood pressure/cholesterol.

You can also experiment with other fruit and herbs/spices infused in water such as apples, peaches, berries, mint, lavender and basil. But whatever you do, make sure you are not forgetting to stay hydrated. Stay healthy family, especially those of you with blue collar jobs!

Rich, believe it or not it was at 12pm today, 69 degrees where it was 101 degrees last week this time! It will be the same for one more day and colder at night. We are having what is called THE DELTA WINDS...

but, it is alright because our gas prices for the summer are trying its best to reach the $3.00 mark at the rate it is falling. $3.79 three days ago today $3.67. (smile)

In Philly we call it snow cone...in N.C. we don't have it...out here it is called shaved ice and one must go to Sacramento to even find any....so home made sounds great MIISRAEL. (smile)

Our expected high tomorrow 77 degrees...gas price at the pump todaY $3.61. (smile)...

Many will be able to do that 4th vacation trip they have been having to put off for another summer. (smile)
