"New York on Sunday
Big city taking a nap
Slow down, it's Sunday
Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap.
If you've got troubles
Just take them out for a walk
They'll burst like bubbles
In the fun of a Sunday in New York."
~ "Sunday In New York"
~Composed by Peter Nero
for the 1963 film "Sunday In New York"
&
Recorded by the wonderful Bobby Darin
It's not Sunday but instead Sundae fun-time
in New York as people line up at a cheery
ice cream truck for shakes, sundaes and cones
on a sunny April day in Lower Manhattan.
"If you never did you should.
These things are fun. And fun is good."
~ Dr. Seuss
(Theodore Seuss Geisel)
~ 1904-1991
This sweet little girl could heed these words of Dr. Seuss as she seems to shilly-shally and dilly-dally over whether to give her hula hoop a whirl in this candid capture on a chilly April day at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The hula hoop is a toy hoop that is twirled around the waist, limbs or neck. The modern hula hoop
was invented in 1958 by Arthur K. "Spud" Melin and Richard Knerr, but children and adults around the world have played with hoops, twirling, rolling and throwing them throughout history.
"I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need ...
But when a dream is calling you,
There's just one thing that you can do
Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving ..."
~ "Follow That Dream"
~ from the 1962 musical film
"Follow That Dream"
~recorded by the great Elvis Presley
This Slinky follows it's dream to spring toward the rolling hills of Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania
on a beautiful summer day, a great reminder to always follow that dream!
Slinky is a toy, a precompressed helical spring invented and developed by naval engineer Richard T. James in 1943.
