Did you sing to your children when they were young? I did, and I can't sing a lick. I sang to my sweet daughters, Lynn and Andee.
they were convinced their mama could sing. Even today, I've heard Lynn say, "yes you can sing mama, remember the song you sang to us about the doll". I'm their mama, they are supposed to feel this way about me. :).
There was one very special song...they loved it. It was The Mama Doll Song by Patti Page.
Back in the late 50's, we had this old Patti Page 78rpm record. It was a favorite of mine and I must have listened to that thing a hundred times. No wonder I knew it by heart and could sing the entire song to my daughters.
Daddy loved Patty Page too and his favorite was The Tennessee Waltz. Oh my goodness! Such a beautiful song. I remember dancing with daddy to this song. We had a juke box in the basement of our house in the country. A fun place to have parties. I remember dancing the polka with my cousin Patty one partying night...I've never laughed so much. We tore the floor up!! And speaking of tearing the floor up...now my sister Shelby could dance! We all danced and had fun!
My ninth grade school picture. Pardon the coffee stains from many many years ago. It was along about this time or a year or so later that I danced with daddy...
and this was daddy along about about that time too.
Funny how I woke up this morning thinking about all this. No wonder I woke up tired and feeling a little sad.
Guess I need to get back to work. Got phone calls to make and lots to do. Hope to back here soon. Appreciate your visiting.
Love,
Henny
