Turns out I was right. I caught my mother saying the word a few times and asked her why she could say it and I couldn't. She said 'a few damns and hells aren't going to keep you from heaven'. Now that's Mother Logic. <br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-39216020138377904132017-04-04T12:33:02.571-04:002017-04-04T12:33:02.571-04:00Thanks, Tina!

Considered it for my own post for the challenge, but while it's a great song, there's no specific memory attached to it (though I do change my rules for songs to include daily -- considering Cecilia just because!).

Life got a bit chaotic with the interruption of my normal routine to go to my doctor's appointment and today DH has a follow up for his retina re-attachment. Geez, I'm tired already! Is it Friday? No? Dang, oh well...life goes on. Now, I'm lovin' your mewsic choices here. "Bridge Over Trouble Water is one of my favorite 70s song. This is such a beautiful song and I never tire from hearing it. "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" always makes me smile because I remember when it came out we loved singing it out loud, really loud because it has a curse word in it and we thought it was okay to sing curse words but we knew we'd get in trouble if we said them. Does that make sense? No? I didn't think so because it makes little sense to me now. Kids are just stupid...well, this kid was stupid. :) Thanks for sharing some fun 70s vibes through mewsic and happy a2zing, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-68663186286694133032017-04-04T06:22:34.431-04:002017-04-04T06:22:34.431-04:00Great choices today - I'll have these stuck in...Great choices today - I'll have these stuck in my head all day now!<br />DebbieRandom Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298522848171348845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-50735223691597908392017-04-04T04:19:33.569-04:002017-04-04T04:19:33.569-04:00These are so Nostalgic, haven't heard in a lon...These are so Nostalgic, haven't heard in a long time.
