Thankful for great weather all week! 80's is nice compared to the 90's plus that we usually have by now.
But it is coming and it will last until October. I am glad I have solar to offset the high electric bills!
Thankful for all that I am learning with my Bible studies. I love learning new things!
Thankful for family group chats on our phones. One list is my kids and grands, the other is my sibs.
Thankful for a few nice relaxing times in the spa this week.
Thankful to be able to watch tv with hubby and finish watching the last of Mandalorian on the Disney+
Saturday 9: Rhythm of My Heart (1991)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Rod Stewart sings that the words "I love you" roll off his tongue. When did you most recently say, "I love you?" Friday night, to my son.
2) In "Rhythm of My Heart," he recalls running down the alley with his lady love. Does your neighborhood have alleys? Yes, there are a couple.
3) Rod is well known for his coif. Are you having a good hair day today? Bad. It needs to be colored.
4) Rod was the youngest of 5. He remembers that, as a family, they enjoyed singing with Al Jolson records. Did your family have singalongs? Not that I remember. But I did hear everyone singing at various times. Oh wait, I remember singing songs on long drives. Both of my boys have mentioned a memory of singing to Amy Grant on our way up to the mountains.
5) He is proud of his luxury car collection, which includes a Rolls Royce, a Ferrari and the one rumored to be his favorite: a classic mid-70s Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopio. Looking back on years as a driver and a car owner, which vehicle is your all-time favorite? I had a 1970 Chevelle SS and it was my first car. I was excited to have my own car. Did not know it would be a collector's car. I had two new cars that I really liked. A Toyota Camry sedan that we sold to get a Grand Caravan. When that died, I got a Toyota Highlander. Both were very comfortable!
6) Rod turned 80 this year and he's still touring. Once known for his hard partying, he takes better care of himself now and rides a stationery bike every day. What steps do you take to keep fit?
Everyday steps around the house. I try to get up every 15 minutes. Today I went on my stair stepper a few times. I do strength training with exercise bands almost daily.
7) In 1991, when this song was popular, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died. Do you have a favorite Star Trek character? Spock and Uhura from the original series.
8) Also in 1991, Seinfeld was a big deal on network television. Today the entire series is available to stream and on DVD. When you binge a show, are you more likely to pop in a disc or turn to a streaming service? I record my favorite shows. I have all the When Calls the Heart and several Call the Midwife.

9) Random question: Have you ever cared for a hamster or a gerbil? (Extra non-existent Saturday 9 points for its name.) I used to raise hamsters when I was first married. They were cute. I would sell the babies to the petstore. Our first hamster was Elfie and my sister got a boy named Pepper. They had babies and we kept Ivory. That was 50 years ago!
