HAPPY SATURDAY

Good morning, all
Saturday is always fun because it's when 
MIZZ JENNY
lets us all have fun, playing in her
The rules seem to change each week as she
gives us the amount of words to use..
sometimes, we choose a picture....sometimes she chooses it for us.
She can explain it all MUCH better than I
so do go over and
**
This week, we may choose a picture,
use 50 words or less,
and she gives us the words,
"You are my sunshine.....
Since this is only my 2nd time to play,
you have to bear with me until I can
really get into the thick of things.... 
YOUR ARE MY SUNSHINE
a favorite song,
of my daughter's
when she was young.

SHE WOULD BEG ME TO SING
tho I never could bring
a true note to the song,
it was fun !
♫♪♫  ♫♪♪ 

I am also linking with a BRAND NEW MEME
that is going to be more fun than A BARREL OF MONKEYS
 O boy..we get to show off our very favorite pins..
and talk about our favorite songs, too.
PINNING and SINGING 
*another true statement here.
Stacy's favorite song was
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE.

    Isn't singing with the children or grandchildren a delight? I think I shall try to teach this song to my daughter. She's got a good voice for a seven year old.
    Best wishes,

    How fun, I love it! I had a hard time trying to get past the song to come up with something to write. Happy Weekend BJ:@)

    What fun prompts Jenny provides... I enjoyed reading your 50 words and I must say that Stacy has good taste in music. What's not to love about a cheerful, upbeat song like You are My Sunshine?!

    I noticed that you don't brake for word verification blogs anymore. I think I must come to this as well. I am trying to understand the problem that some of the bloggers say that they are having, but I just don't get it. I have had a few incidents with spammers as well and I don't resort to slapping on word verifications. They are reported and I go merrily on my way for days and days before I see any more of the stuff.

    That looks like FUN! You did a great job!

    My oldest daughter hated that song from the moment she first heard it as a toddler because it makes her cry!

    My children always loved that song as well. My grandmother sang it to me when I was young and I always harmonized with her. Great fun!!!

    cute little ditty & when singing with kids it's no holds barred cause they really don't care if you can sing or not. I'm sure she appreciated that you did:-)

    Bj, thank you for letting me know that my word varification was on. It is off now and for good. Love this song to sing to little ones. Children don't care if you are off key or not so. Decor. Lady

    When I was 16, I spent a week in the hospital. My nephew BJ (the one who first called me La) was only 3. He called me on the phone in the hospital and sang You Are My Sunshine. :o)

    With my little's I found it didn't matter if I was on tune or not...it was the love that was shared through the song that mattered most. You are doing wonderfully!

    BJ,
    My MoMa used to volunteer me for all sorts of performing arts as a youth. I USE to have a great deal of talent! One year at our annual Memorial Day program which she organized,I was told I would be singing,"You are my Sunshine." When I ask," Where's the score?", she nearly dropped her teeth. I had never heard it. No one had the score. She had a lady in town come over and sing that song over and over and over to me. I will NEVER forget that...ever. To a musician...this has disater written all over it! WELL...not only did I sing "You are my Sunshine"...but there were tears from widows and a standing ovation.
    My son and daughter ~in~law's niece sang it to them at their bridal shower...she was age six at the time! So sweet!!! Thanks for reminding me of the joy that comes from this song!
    Fondly,
    Pat
