WARNING!  May start singing for no reason!  I would love a bumper sticker with thse words.  I sing most of the day!  I'll send my story after shopping for our 5 community meals next week!  I do have stories to tell!

One quick one - Patricia Newkirk and I compiled a new section for our older Songaia songbook..  Of course the old one had New Community Bound, Rainbow Trails, an a few others from our order days,.  The new section now has BELIEVE!  My neighbor Marilyn said, "why have you bee hiding this one for so long?"  With my memory blips, I may have already told this story, sorry!

Later then,

Nancy

Thanks for “This Old Song!.”  In what hymnal did you find it? Song just breaks out!

My wife bought me a bunch of these bumper stickers for Christmas.

"Warning: May start singing for no reason"

This old song says it all in just the first two verses.

"How Can I Keep From Singing?"

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

Judy and I had lunch today with Joe and Marilyn Crocker at their place in Wells, ME.  Met the Crocker's dog, and sort of spontaneously burst into song . . . Goodby my Coney Island Baby, Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow, I Don't Know Why, More,  . . . Grand finale was the Poverty Song (Come Walk with Francis . . Had to dig out the words for that one. .). Any other strange outbursts happening lately??

This Is Just To Say
BY WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
 
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
 
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
