Here's one you could paraphrase (sub "friendship" for "marriage" or maybe just leave out the first sentence all together). I'm sure there are some clever ways you could tie knitting and friendship together -- I'm just not coming up with them. Maybe others will have better ideas! Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. ~Simone Signoret

I made MaryAnne's Recipe #2 last nite. I forgot to buy a pudding mix. It makes a huge cake! It was okay, but not as good as I was hoping. I did overcook it a teeny bit though. I was thinking it should have had baking powder in it, but it wasn't in the ingredients, and I was panicking. I thought cakes had BP, but I'm wrong, obviously. I have away the starters on Freecycle.....had lots of requests for it. I was surprised. I think I'll wait a while and maybe try it again with another recipe, one moister.

I found it! That is a line from the second verse (which I've never heard) to the following: Rose's Red, Violet's Blue Nursery Rhyme (English) Rose's red, violet's blue. Sugar is sweet but not like you. The violets fade, the roses fall; But you get sweeter, all in all. As shore as the grass grows around the stump, You are my darling Sugar Lump. When the sun doesn't shine, the day is cold, But my love for you does not get old. The ocean's deep, the sky is blue; Sugar is sweet, and so are you; The ocean waves and the sky get pale, But my love is true, and it never fails.

PRECIOUS CHILD In my dreams, you are alive and well Precious child, precious child In my mind, I see you clear as a bell Precious child, precious child In my soul, there is a hole That can never be filled But in my heart, there is hope 'Cause you are with me still In my heart, you live on Always there never gone Precious child, you left too soon Tho' it may be true that we're apart You will live forever... in my heart In my plans, I was the first to leave Precious child, precious child But in this world, I was left here to grieve Precious child, my precious child In my soul, there is a hole That can never be filled But in my heart there is hope And you are with me still In my heart you live on Always there, never gone Precious child, you left too soon, Tho' it may be true that we're apart You will live forever... in my heart God knows I want to hold you, See you, touch you And maybe there's a heaven And someday I will again Please know you are not forgotten until then In my heart you live on Always there never gone Precious child, you left too soon Tho' it may be true that we're apart You will live forever... in my heart Words and Music by Karen Taylor-Good
