Today is your day Boomer! I heard this sing on the radio yesterday and thought I would share the lyrics with you.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer,
Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies,
Then lock the house up, now you're set,
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis,
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
You'll wish that summer could always be here,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer,
Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in,
Or some romantic moon it seems,
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin',
You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
You'll wish that summer could always be here,
You'll wish that summer could always be here.
Nat King Cole, from 1963. This song went to #3 on charts and was a big summer favourite. Boomers, most of you were around in '63. Has August really changed that much in 60 years? See ya, I am headed to the beach!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
