Sunday Selections # 790
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently? I bought a couple of "Heirloom" tomatoes fo...
You have fun!
ReplyDeleteJenn Jilks; oh I did! I got down on the floor and they crawled over me.
DeleteI had forgotten that song - loved it. So we are both 70!
ReplyDeleteChatty Crone; yes we are. Amazing isn't it? Where did the last 40 years disappear to?
DeleteSuch music stands the test of time.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; many early songs do, but some of the rap from these times may be forgotten as the years move on.
DeleteWe used to sing that in our elementary school music class. I will never forget it!
ReplyDeleteSteve Reed; it's a nice song that helps kids think and say nice things in my opinion.
DeleteMany humans throughout the world have much to learn...but are too dumb to realise it!
ReplyDeleteMusic today is not at good as it once was! Thanks for the reminder, River. :)
Lee; that's true, too many don't realise they haven't learned everything they can yet, and sadly too many learn the wrong things. I find some of today's music acceptable, but not much of it. We are at the stage of "living in the past" when it comes to music we enjoy.
DeleteGreat song, and nice to see all the pictures.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; it is a great song with a simple message to be nice.
DeleteDidn´t know that song - we were carpenters, my Brother and I - renovating apartments (two of mine, our Mum´s).
ReplyDeleteHappy times... To siblings and fun.
And music! Today (ack, I´m getting old....) most is but "noise" to me ;-)
But reckon music often shows how people feel. Back then happy the war is over - now fearing loss of job, prices rising, another big war etc... makes people aggressive... I like this song, thank you :-)
Iris; I haven't heard a lot of today's music, most of my playlists are from the 70s, 80s and 90s with just a few from recent years. I prefer songs that make me feel happy and the songs that are about anger or hate just don't do that for me. I was never a carpenter, I can't hammer in a nail and have it go straight!
Deletetwins................pictures..
ReplyDeleteyellowdoggranny; I only took one picture of them sleeping right before I left. I was too busy playing with them to use the camera.
DeleteIt's been years since i've heard this. I do hope you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; it's been stuck in my head for a month now and I hoped putting it here would help it 'move on', but I still have it in my head. I had a wonderful day with the twins.
