One Summer Night (click) in the 50's in Queens

A song for all the oldies lovers out there. I remember the hot summer nights with friends on Protzman's stoop! The girls would sit and talk. Sometimes Ann and I would sit on her stoop and sing songs from the hit charts . The guys would check out the old cars. I remember one car that Buzz Buzzard owned. It had no reverse gear so the guys had to get out and push if we had to go backwards. There was handball at Alley Pond Park (I was pretty good).

Daytrip to Longwood Gardens (click)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_evCoEVaTQE  Last week I went on a 'day trip' vacation. One of the best places was Longwood Gardens on Rt. 1 in Kennett Square, pa. My favorite room was the orchid room. Their beauty is astounding! At 1:30pm there is a 'player' piano show. It played two of my favorite pieces- 'moonlight sonata' and 'clair de lune'. next favorite was the rabbit foot fern plant hanging from the ceiling. It is huge. i have a small one which i love. This one must be the great grandpa of mine. Don't miss the outdoor water gardens and the bonsai plants. When you leave make sure you are going the right direction. We wound up in Maryland!

There will be a full moon on Sunday, August 10th. It will be very close to the earth and will be called a 'super moon'. Let's see if the effects feel stronger than a usual full moon. Are we more emotional? More full of energy? Let me know how you feel. This is the sign of experimentation, unusual, exciting, original, and the unpredictable! Due to the opposition with mercury (the mind) you may notice that thoughts and feeling are not always coinciding at this time. It will probably not be boring.Remember to  'Expect a miracle' as Oral Roberts used to say.
