Romantic Gals

Do you find yourself yearning for the simpler, slower way of life from days gone by? Do you prefer listening to birds chirping or an IPOD?

Blogging - A New Adventure

Well fair people, this is my first time blogging and I must say it's been painless so far. Blogger.com has made it fairly easy to design this website. I hope you will make a cup of tea and join me for a conversation on current events, fond memories and anything else that may come to mind such as gardening tips, hobbies and collections you enjoy - the possibilities are simply endless. Welcome, make yourself at home and enjoy!

Come and Get Your Happiness

What little girl didn't grow up watching Shirley Temple movies? My mom and I would sit and watch them together whenever they were shown. Mom was a little girl the same time Shirley was tapping her way to stardom. She bought me a Shirley doll when I was just three years old and it sat way up on a shelf, only to be played with occasionally under moms supervision. I'm forever grateful that my mother made me be extra careful with her, for as you can see in the picture, she is in fine shape to this day. You can see my mom in her Shirley Temple finest in the framed picture. Mom loved Shirley so much that she bought a record of Shirley singing all her movie songs and I of course learned them all. My all time favorite was from Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm titled "Come and Get Your Happiness". It just oozed optimism and cheerfulness and when I heard recently that Shirley had passed away I found myself searching for her singing it on YouTube. There will never be another Shirley. She was truly one of a kind. Thanks Shirley for bringing my mom and I such happiness!
