It's been yet another unbelievably loooooooong and excedingly tiring day, moving things to our new, infinitely more spacious, wonderful home. Waaaayyyy surprised I'm still even awake! Here's a listing of Terry's thoroughly fab, generous/wonderful box contents: "Lucious Lilac" tea candles - Mmmmm,...scentsational! A deliciously scented candle in a jar. Garden gloves with polychromatic flowers - Definitely Elly's. :) Tin of "Before and After" mint candies--Peppermint and Cinnamon - Since the candies are sugar free and I'm diabetic,...the contents are mine! Elly can have the 3-D lips tin. Ordinarily I'm big on saving useful tins, but in this case I'll make an exception. :) Elf/Gnome pot percher - Kewlest! Shultz "Multi Cote" time release plant food - Yeah, baby! Feed the plants that feed us! Rooster themed kitchen towel - Perfect! Not collecting, but we're're never the less a rooster oriented family, overall, since El's sister, Sharla, consistently enters a rooster in the "National Rooster Crow Championship" contest, held in our neighboring city of Rogue River. 4 oz tin of "Harvey & Son" Spiced Plum herbal tea - Saving this for when we're all moved in to our new digs. Smallish "Spring" birdhouse & "Welcome" metal flower decorations. Resin seed-n-gardening hats plant poker decorations. A wonderful "Father's Love Letter" Christian mini-poster." A "Come Away My Beloved:" Christian devotional book, featuring numerous KJV Scripture selections, by Frances J. Roberts (1.4 million copies sold as of 2002) - Terry, we thank you so much and I especially appreciate the large print! :) A wonderful, informative, 3D-ish homemade flower card! Reeeally nicely done! Plants, etc.: Allium moly luteum (aka Golden Garlic) - 20 bulbs Nandina Domestica bush Mixed Iris rhizomes - Love purdy surprizes! Pink Yarrow (Achillea millefolium rosea) Rose Campion (Lychnis coronaria) Planted all in large containers at our new residence. Extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme apologies for taking this long to post,...but lately, with all we've been doing (often well into evening hours), as soon as I'm able to finally kick back and relax, can't help it but I just crash-out. - Nearly there this evening as it is. Haven't moved in 23 years. Oy! You better believe we'll be doing a yard sale!! :) Bless you, your entire family, and major thanks, Terry!! :) - Darrin, Elly and Roy

clay lady, we would love to have you join in! Just list your 5 themes and send me your e-mail address and you are in. However, I am closing the sign ups tomorrow morning so we can all start sorting, ordering, and packing up seeds - so don't take long to list your themes and send me an e-mail message. Okay? (Nothing like putting the pressure on, but at least you found us in time!) More information will come to you and all the others by e-mail once the sign ups close and I will start a new thread here on the Round Robin Exchange page so we can keep up with what has been mailed to me, received by me, and when I mail back to you and you receive your packet. I will include the full list of participants and themes there also. Looking forward to lots of fun. Happy New Year's Weekend to all! Jeanne

I think it's sometimes difficult to separate the words from the melody and I probably wouldn't be attracted to a song's melody if I disliked the words. However the first secular song I remember from my childhood is The Tennessee Waltz. At the time I had no idea where Tennessee was but I really liked the melody and it's still my favorite among many. I wondered when I might have first heard it and the song was first released in December 1947 and became a multimillion seller via a 1950 recording by Patti Page. So likely I first heard it between the ages of 5 and 8. I know it's an early memory. Interesting tidbit from Wikipedia - as of 1974, it was the biggest selling song ever in Japan. I have too many other favorites to list - I even like national anthems of several countries.
