Amazing Paper Grace

One of my favorites is rock around the clock. It brings me back to the days when mom would have the radio playing and we would all stop what we were doing and dance in the living room. Thanks for the chance to win and my prayers are with you and your hubby.ReplyCancel

What awesome blog candy. The song Celebration by Cool and the Gang always reminds me of my first dance in 5th grade. It was boys on one wall and girls on the other. I still remember being nervous that somebody might not ask me to dance (they did of course, but you never forget that feeling)! Good luck to your hubby on his surgery. I’ll be praying for him. :)ReplyCancel

the song:
Heigh Ho from Snow White
the memory:
watching my daughter at age 5 giggling to the antics of the dwarves in this movie.

“Blue Velvet” has long been a favorite.. I was in junior high school when the song came out.. the school dance is what I associate this song with, but why I remember it most, is that I had a blue velvet dress on that night.. my mom had remade (back in the days of altering clothes to fit younger members of the family) a dress my aunt had outgrown.. that school dance was the only time I got to wear the dress, as I quickly outgrew it myself.. ah the memories!
Thanks for offering up such awesome blog candy Becca.. and as for getting what you wish for.. do take care! LOL!!ReplyCancel

And add my prayers for hubby’s cataract surgery.. always a worry, but prayers help I believe.. blessings to you both~!ReplyCancel

“You are my Sunshine” is a song I always sang to my kids, and now my grandsons. They all are my sunshine, along with my husband. My days would be dark without them.

I’ll keep you and your husband in my prayers. Any surgery is scary, but I am sure that God will be your guide and protection.ReplyCancel

My Funny Valentine. Dancing with a boy in high school with whom I had a crush, and they played that song which was my favorite at the time. Still my favorite song.ReplyCancel

Ok, now I am weepy – the first thing that came to mind was Daddy’s Little Girl and I would stand on my dad’s feet and we would dance around the room. Thanks for such a wonderful memory.ReplyCancel

My favorite is Imagine by Mercy Me. My daughter, Jennifer, and I loved this song. She passed away from Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 28, four years ago. This amazing song was sung at her funeral service. It will always be special to me!

I will say a prayer that your husband’s surgery goes well!

Thank you for the chance to win your wonderful blog candy!ReplyCancel

My favorite song is Etta James, At Last. Don’t know why I like this song so much but I do. Also my prayers go to you and your husband.ReplyCancel

Oh my goodness! How to choose? I have so many favorites. Too many lullabies for my girls come to mind but one favorite was “Hush Little Baby” – the mockingbird song. One daughter is 36 and the other is 24. I can’t sing a lick but that never stopped me signing to my babies. I can still feel them in my arms and smell their sweet smell. Thankyou for the memory!

Heaven is flooded with prayer for your Husband and you.ReplyCancel

One of my very favorite songs is a hymn… How Great Thou Art. I love the majesty and scope of this beautiful song. Every time we sing it in church it reminds me just how great He is and what great things he He has done for me. Blessing to you and your hubby —- he is in my prayers.ReplyCancel

He’s So Fine by the Chiffons brings back memories of a boy I had a BIG crush on in high school.

I’ll hold good thoughts and prayers for your hubby’s surgery.ReplyCancel

Nov. 1974 – a Saturday. I was working and was anxiously awaiting news from my Dr. to hear if I was pregnant or not after giving him a urine sample on the Friday. DH left a message for the Dr. to call him at his sister’s house. As luck would have it, the Dr. called while DH was out with his BIL. So, my SIL was the 1st to hear the good news that yes, I was pregnant. When I came home from work, DH was there and shortly after I asked him if I was pregnant, he put on a 45 (remember those?) It was “Having my Baby” as sung by a young Paul Anka. That is how I found out that my suspicions were true. That song still brings back fond memories. My “baby” will be 35 in July and is expecting our 3rd grandchild in Nov. – her 2 other adorable children are Brooke who will be 3 in July and Sierra who will be 5 in June. I can’t wait to meet the newest member of our family whose due date is November 11 – Remembrance Day in Canada.

No surgery is a breeze – I used to be a nurse – I will be keeping your Hubby in my thoughts and prayers.ReplyCancel

First of all, I want to thank you for sharing all of the truly beautiful projects…they are mouth watering and inspiring. I’ve watched the Becka Bit on tying the Becka Bow…but honey, that’s not going to happen on one of my cards lol!

My favorite song is Beach Boys, Kokomo
It makes me remember when I was young and thinking I had the world by the tail….the song still makes me smile, tap my feet and wish I was winging my way to some exotic place.ReplyCancel

The song for me would be Lean on Me. It’s our high school graduation song. It marked the end of an era for me since I left the country afterwards and came to US for college.ReplyCancel

OK, first up~~”I Only Have Eyes For You” by the Platters~~it was the song my late husband used to sing to me! BTW, sending up a prayer for hubby, I gather from some of your blogs that he might not be in the best of health, so here’s praying he comes through the surgery w/flying colors!ReplyCancel

Happy Together is a special song for my husband & I– still enjoy hearing it after over 43 years together. My granddaughters also love to play and dance to it. My prayers are with your husband.ReplyCancel

My favorite song would have to be “This Christmas” by Donny Hathoway. This song just seems to take me back to childhood. When my mom and dad were together….I love this song!!!!!!ReplyCancel

“At Last” by Etta James is one of my favorite songs. People used to ask me if I was too picky when dating….hmmm. I ALWAYS thought that was a silly comment because I think you should be picky if you are looking for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with!!! So my first dance at my wedding, with The Love of My Life, was to “At Last” which I think was appropriate. On the comedic side, my older brother shouted “it’s about time” when the song first started playing…..it was funny!!! I waited 37 years to find MY HONEY!!!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
The song I really love but am not sure of the name, it’s the Goodbye song sung by the blind opera singer. Hope your hubby does ok in his op.
Rene from OZ xoReplyCancel

Wow Becca what a wonderful blog candy this is!!
Very kind of you to offer it, thank you.
My song would have to be “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. This song just seems to play when we need it most. It’s a favorite of my entire family. What better reminder to appreciate EVERYTHING around us!

Praying for your hubby and for you as well. You are an awesome inspiration to us all!ReplyCancel

Oh wow… I LOVE music, but tying a specific song to a specific memory seems difficult at this moment… gotta get my brain in gear! LOL!! One of the first that comes to mind is the song “Paper Roses”. I sang it in a pageant in college and it does bring back lots of fun memories of preparing for and participating in that pageant. So many friends joined in to help prepare my stage set as well as other friends who formed my little band of musicians making it a wonderful and fun time in my life. And I also have to mention that my mother who was a professional seamstress made my costumes and formal gowns for the event and they were truly works of art. I was so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.

Prayers definitely going out for your hubby’s cataract surgery! I have a retinal condition called RP and have had cataract surgery in one eye and I totally understand that depending on the person that kind of surgery is not necessarily the “breeze” that it is often thought to be. I wish him the best and a speedy recovery!!!!ReplyCancel

Awesome candy Becca. Will say a prayer for hubby and for you also. Hope all goes well tomorrow.
A favorite song, geez they are all my favorite. I guess it would have to be “You’re My Soul And Inspiration” by The Righteous Brothers. It was played as the last song of every Blue Inn dance we had on Saturday night when I was in high school. You pretty much knew that if a guy asked you to dance he would be the one walkling you home.

stamp on…ReplyCancel

“Silent Night” brings back so many memories. My father was a concert pianist so you can imagine music was and is extremely important at Christmas. The other thing about my father was his dry sense of humour. There were 3 girls in our family so along with my Mom we sang 4 part harmonies on many of the Christmas hymns. One of our best was Silent night. We would get our parts going and would be a bit over confident of our sound and my Dad would get this funny grin on his face and then change the key. We would all scramble for our new note and as soon as we were back on he’d change the key again. Dad has been gone for 12 years now and it’s up to me to play the Hymns, I change the key on them for old time sake but then we all remember Dad and miss him terribly. We all love music what a legacy he left.ReplyCancel

My prayers are with your hubby for his surgery, and with you also.
Thanks for a chance at this awesome blog candy. You are so generous. One of favorite songs is “Amazing Grace”, no particular memory. It just reminds me of my salvation and what a great God we serve.ReplyCancel

“Cherish” always takes me WAY back to sleeping under the trees in sleeping bags with my highschool freshmen girlfriends and singing the words at the top of our voices. It made for great summer time entertainment. Of course we were all dreaming of that special first date too!

Sending good thoughts your way for your hubbyReplyCancel

“We’ve Only Just Begun” … that was our wedding song nearly 20 years ago :)ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy.
My song is ABC by the Jackson 5; it reminds me of a time when innocence was everywhere.

Your husband, you and your loved ones are in my prayers.ReplyCancel

Raise Me Up would be my song of choice, the lyrics and melody bring joy to my heart when I listen to them.
May God hold your husband in the palm of His hand and guide the hands of the doctor as he goes through the cataract surgery tomorrow. May He also strengthen you in the role you play here. I pray he will richly bless you both.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca!
Penny Lane brings back memories for me. My little
brother who is exactly three years younger than
I am used to spend hours talking together even
tho we were both in our teens. (Does that date
me! LOL May God watch over your hubby, you and
your family.ReplyCancel

My favorite song is an oldie from 1970 called Ooh Child by the Five Stairsteps. My first boyfriend used to sing this song to me cause he was a lifeguard and I used to go to the beach every day in the summer to hang out with him. Thanks for the memory Becca.
Your hubby is in my prayersl.
AnnReplyCancel

The one that comes to mind right now is “Blue Suede Shoes” … I remember learning how to jive to it…what fun. Prayers for your husband’s surgery.. I hope everything goes well. Thank you for the opportunity to win the blog candy. I love your work!ReplyCancel

I have 2 favorite songs TENDERLY by Nat King Cole and LAND OF A THOUSAND
DANCES by Tom Jones.

Will be praying for your hubby and his surgery. God bless and have a great day.ReplyCancel

Where Could I Go (but to the Lord) is one of my favorite songs because it was my Grandpa’s favorite and I loved him very much.
Hope all goes well for your dear hubby.ReplyCancel

Thanks Becca for the chance to win this lovely blog candy. One of my fav songs ever is I’ll Be There by the Jackson Five. It was one of my favourites growing up and I always thought of someone who means alot to me whenever I heard that song. It denoted the ultimate in trusting in someone.ReplyCancel

I think “Butterfly Kisses” is one I think of because it was the song that was played when my daughter and her dad danced at her wedding. There wasn’t a dry eye there…even the men had tears in their eyes.ReplyCancel

I think one of my favorite songs is “Will There Be Any Stars in my Crown”, I can’t remember who sang it many years ago but Alison Kraus has it on one of her CD’s now. My father used to enjoy this song many years ago and it brings back memories of him. He has been gone eleven years in July. My, how time flies.

May God be with your husband, yourself, and his doctor, guiding him during the surgery.ReplyCancel

There are so many but I’ll start with my favorite band, U2. My current favorite song is BOOTS. When it came out, my dh and dd had just gotten me a pair of boots that I love to wear. So it just really makes me smile!

Thanks Becca for all the fun we share around here. You make us think a little and it is always fun to read other people comments.
EliReplyCancel

My song I love to hear and always brings tears to my eyes is Amazing Grace!!! I have attended so many funerals that this was played and it always brings back the many people that have passed through my life.
Sending positive thoughts for your hubby tomorrow.ReplyCancel

Another FABULOUS game and candy! YOU ROCK BECCA!

I pray your husband has a very successful surgery, and a speedy recovery! Keeping you both in my prayers.

My most favorite song has to be “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong! As a former 1st grade teacher, it was my tradition to have a power-point presentation of my little students playing when the parents came for Open House. Playing would be the sweetest collection of our daytime activities all set to music…of course, “What a Wonderful World”! There would hardly be a dry eye in the room! From the first day of school, full of all the excitement and fear, to the fun release of recess, we captured it all…and what a wonderful world it was! I have since retired because of health problems, but every time I hear that song, all my precious babies come to mine! How blessed I am to have such priceless memories!

Hugs~ReplyCancel

My favorite song is Josh Gruban’s “You Raise Me Up” but the song that brings back a wonderful memory is “Wanted, Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. We spent a few days playing Rock Band on the Wii with my husband, brother and sister-in-law and niece on our last visit. Just seeing my normally laid back husband jamming out on the drums and actually SINGING makes me laugh now just thinking about it.

Your husband’s name is on my lips in tonight’s prayer.ReplyCancel

The song that brings back memories are many, but the one the mean the most is “Give Me My Flowers it’s by The Consolers” my mother and my cousin sang it at a memorial that was held for my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother. It’s was the first time I heard my mother singing solo, she sang in the church choir but never alone. And I will said a prayer for your husband.ReplyCancel

my favorite song that brings back memories is daddy’s little girl. I danced with my dad to this song. My dad has been gone for awhile now but that song makes me feel the joy we shared in that dance and when I want to feel his warmth again I humm that song.ReplyCancel

A song that always brings a smile to my family’s faces is “You Light Up My Life”, popular when my youngest son was about four. On road trips we all remember him (in the back seat) singing you lite up my life, with long flat iiiii’s. It will always be a special song for us.ReplyCancel

Becca, thanks for offering up such great blog candy! One of my favourite songs is “Whiter Shade of Pale” by Procol Harum. That is the first slow song I danced to with the love of my love (more than 30 years ago!) We still love that song.

Saying a prayer that all goes well gor your DH’s surgery.ReplyCancel

One of my favorite songs when I was in high school was “Once I had a Secret Love”. I would be out in the back yard in the swing singing it at the top of my lungs. Didn’t have many neighbors and that was a good thing. Never had a secret love but have many fond memories of singing that song.ReplyCancel

becca…as soon as you asked for a favorite song..i knew exactly what i would say…
I Left My Heart in San Francisco
I have wonderful memories of being a child and teen…playing that on the piano for my dad..at his (almost nightly) request..
it was HIS favorite song..
It would always start out the same way…
I’d begin playing…
he’d be silent..
listening..
then he’d start humming…
and within the first half page of the sheet music..he’d be standing next to me while i’d play…singing in that beautiful deep voice of his…
years later..when I was in college..he and my mom took a trip to vegas..san francisco and hawaii..
when they were in San Francisco..my dad picked up a music box for me that played “our” song…(I Left My Heart in San Francisco)
I had that music box for more than 30 years ..until it was ruined when we had a flood here in my home, a few years ago…..
my dad died soon after he gave me that music box…
and although he and the music box are no longer part of my life ..in a physical sense…….I am truly blessed…because my dad singing that song, while i played it on the piano…. in his beautiful voice…. will always be in my memory….and in my heart..

thanks for allowing me to share this precious memoryReplyCancel

I hope your husband does well tomorrow. I have several favorite songs for different reasons, but my favorite song to sing in church is “The Old Rugged Cross.” Oh…it is a strong song! Gives me goose bumps. My favorite movie is Sound of Music, so I’m always singing tunes from that, too.ReplyCancel

Dream Lover and it was my first boyfriend.ReplyCancel

Someone mentioned America the Beautiful, which reminded me of God Bless America. I love the fourth of July and love nothing more than hearing Kate Smith sing this song. It brings tears to my eyes listing to her. I have it on vinyl and refuse to give up my turntable.ReplyCancel

I’m still trying to win. Your cards are so beautiful. I wish we lived close, you could teach this ole lady a few tricks. LOLReplyCancel

I have many favorite songs but the one I really love is the Dance by Garth Brooks. It has a lot of feeling and meaning.
I will keep your hubby in my thoughts and prayers.

Wow! I love the blog candy!
I love the song from Moulin Rouge called “The elephant love medley:

I just love this song.ReplyCancel

One song I treasure…”Over the Rainbow” . I always sang to my boys as I rocked them to sleep as babies. I danced the Mother/Son dance to it at our oldest son’s wedding(the one from Hawaii by IZ).Best wishes to both you and especially your hubby with his surgery . You are in my prayers.ReplyCancel

The first song that comes to my mind is “It’s A Small, Small, World, because of all of the good times my family has had at Disneyland. When I was growing up we lived only 10 miles from Disneyland so I was fortunate to be able to go several times a year. After my kids were born, we would go everytime we returned to So. Cal. to see family and now, my kids are taking their kids. We all get on the Small, Small World ride in Fantasyland, and by the time the ride ends, we are all singing the song and have most of the people all around us singing it too. Good, fun memories. Becca, I am praying for your husband.ReplyCancel

One of my good ole’ days high school faves: Bay City Rollers – Saturday Night. I can still rember chanting “S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y (pause) Night! This was the first concert my parents allowed me to attend. And it was on a Saturday night. Oh my goodness. How excited our group of girls was to go see that group. How funny!

My prayers include you and your hubby. I hope all goes well with his surgery.ReplyCancel

Whenever I hear The Summons in church I am particularly moved. Not quite sure why but this song just evokes a lot of emotions for me. Prayers for your husband.ReplyCancel

Keeping hubby and you in my prayers for a successful surgery tomorrow. Thanks for all the memories tonight and when you did the favorite memories of growing up. It was great to read them all. Mine, thinking way back, was Tennessee Waltz. I remember my Dad holding my youngest sister when she was born. He’d hold her and dance slowly while she fell asleep. I think of that memory every time I hear the song. I lost my sister about 5 yrs. ago and my Dad 9 months ago. Thanks also for the chance to win great blog candy. Love your blog.ReplyCancel

Could I Have This Dance – Anne Murray

The first song played at our wedding dance almost 31 years ago.ReplyCancel

One song that always brings a chuckle from my husband and I is “It’s a Small World”. We had stopped at a restaurant one Sunday afternoon for a quiet dinner without the kids. A few tables over from us was a little girl and she sang this song continuously just about the whole time we were there. So much for a quiet dinner, but she sure was cute.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, Firstly, my thoughts are with you both – you are a great strength to each other, I am sure.
Now, a song that pops to mind is “In the Summertime” by Mungo Jerry – it brings back memories of walking home from the school fete with some girlfriends – we were about 10 years old, and obviously did not listen to the lyrics, but the feeling of the song mirrored how we felt that day, on a cooler summer evening after a scorching day.ReplyCancel

Please know that your husband is in my prayers many times when I do my prayer journal for the day. Stairway to Heaven is one that gives me tingles every time I hear it because of dancing with my hubby to it many times in HS when we were HS sweethearts. :)ReplyCancel

I loved the song Running Bear. Brings back high school memories and me first love. And no…we never went Running Bare!!! He was the man I always wanted, but when I went to college… He went running for another Indian Maid.ReplyCancel

I hope your DH’s surgery goes well tomorrow and that he does not have much pain. Eye surgery can be very painful.

I love your generous collection of blog candy and I would consider myself very fortunate to win it. Thank you for offering it and giving so much back to us every day. I really like your Becca Bits.

My favourite song is Brahm’s Lullaby as it reminds me of when my children were babies. Now, they’re grown up and far away.ReplyCancel

Great topic again! I’ll start with a song from when I was young because I plan to comment tomorrow. When I was in elementary school my friend and I danced to My Sherona by The Knack in a talent show. i even remember some of our cheesy 70’s moves. I listened to that some now as an adult & couldn’t believe our school allowed us to play it. We were so young, we didn’t understand what that song was about, we just loved the music. JILReplyCancel

My song is Feels Like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk. It was a song at our wedding when people were going down the aisle. :)ReplyCancel

One of my favorite songs is the old gospel hymn “Precious Memories”. It was my grandmother’s favorite, I can still see her frail little frame sitting on the front porch of her house, in the rocking chair humming this song. When I asked her what it meant to her, she told me of her parents and my grandpa that had gone on to heaven before her. Today, if I hear the song or it comes to mind, I can feel her presence with me. “Precious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul.”ReplyCancel

What generous candy!! “My Favorite Things” was a song I sang to our dd when she was little. I now sing it to our grandson.ReplyCancel

A favorite song of mine is The Prayer. My husband and a niece sang this as a duet for another niece’s wedding. The whole wedding was beautiful, and that song gave me goosebumps.
My prayers are with your husband and you as you prepare for his surgery.ReplyCancel

oh wow, i was just driving home in a rain storm from my monthly stamping group meeting…and on the radio they had a request to play “”I fooled around and fell in LOVE””….wow some great memories of slow dancing to that song! :-) thanks for a chance to win some great blong candy.ReplyCancel

A favorite song would be ”In Dreams” by Roy Orbison…Someone special dedicated this song to me when I was 17 years old…I’m nearly 65 years old now and although I’ve lost touch with this special friend of my youth, everytime I hear that song, I think of those days gone by and that special person that was once in my life…I’ll say a special prayer for your husband…God Bless you both…
Denise TrottierReplyCancel

Wow! What a fun candy and a bonus to boot. One of my favorite songs is Let There be Peace on Earth and it reminds me of my teenage years with a group of teens who traveled together during the summer as a religious group. Fun times and lots of sharing. I miss those guys a lot. Thanks for the memories!ReplyCancel

The favorite song that stirs wonderful memories is The Old Rugged Cross”. My gramma had a music box that she would occasionally bring out and let me listen to it. She would always get teary eyed when she listened to it. Everytime I hear that song it brings back the memories of gramma. She was always so patient and sweet to all of us kids as we ran about. She would let me help her pick or pull whatever she was going to use out of the garden for dinner. Lots of wonderful memories of her. :) Thanks for the opportunity to win that fab candy. I work for an ophthalmologist and he always says there is no such thing a routine surgery. :) I will be praying for you husband.ReplyCancel

First of all, thoughts and prayers for you and your hubbie (and a/c)!. I just saw a card with a teapot and that reminded me of when I was in kindergarden and got to sing – I’m a little teapot, short and stout etc. That got me giggling. My mom was so proud of her little teapot that day. That made for a nice late mother’s day rememberance for me. Of all the songs I could have picked! Oh well, maybe I need to go make a little pot of tea while I am on the computer. Thanks for a chance to win!ReplyCancel

Awesome blog candy! I really can’t think of a favorite song right now, but I love anything inspirational and love the Beatles. I grew up listening to the Beatles a lot, my dad is a huge Beatles fan, so I inherited that love of music from him, I think!

Praying that all goes well for your husband tomorrow.ReplyCancel

My favorite piece of music–am listening to it now–is Pachelbel’s Canon in D. It reminds me of my wedding day… and still brings a flush of love to my face and heart each time I hear it. It is light and airy, sweet and refined, romantic and sensual…all rolled into one classical masterpiece… it is art to my ears…
‘Praying tonight for your hubby, Becca… and you also, to ease your worried heart and mind… hugsReplyCancel

Thank you once ago for this opportunity. Speedy healing.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca!! Oh, it’s so hard to pick a favourite…I have so many!! Is it acceptable to choose a musical?? I just love Phantom of the Opera, and picking one favourite song is almost impossible! However, if I must I suppose it would be “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again”. Whenever I listen to this music, it takes me back to my sixteenth birthday, when my boyfriend suprised me with tickets to see the Broadway production!! What a sweetheart…that boyfriend is now my husband! We dated through high school and then got married. We’ve been happily married for almost thirteen years now. We still love to put that CD on!

I’ll be keeping your husband in my prayers as he goes through his surgery.

Thanks so much for the constant inspiration and your generosity.

Blessings,

MelanieReplyCancel

Amazing Grace. It was my oldest daughters and my favorite. She sang it in school at a choir competition. It is a happy and a sad one. We sang it at her funeral 2 years ago but I know every time I am down and I hear that song she is still with me. Making sure I am not spoiling her little boy so much lol.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca – I will be saying a prayer tonight and in the morning for good results for the cataract surgery your husband is having. As for a song – I have always loved the song “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton that has been sung also by Whitney Houston in Bodyguard and then as a duet by Dolly and I can’t think right now who sang it with her. It is a bittersweet song of love and losing someone close to you. I absolutely love it and never tire of it.ReplyCancel

It would be “The bear went over the Mountain” a childs song we use to sing while driving in the country with my daugher. It kept her occupied and she was always lookin gover the next hill for the bear. She got married last year and maybe in a few years We will sing it to her son or daughter.
Buy the way I love all your beautiful cards!
Thanks for listening

Hello Again, by Neil Diamond, always gives me goosebumps. Perhaps that’s why I like to make cards. It’s like a “pretty hello again”.ReplyCancel

When we were living in The Netherlands, the military put on a wonderful “American” 4th of July festivities trying to give us a little bit of home with a BBQ, ice cream, watermelon, things for the kids, etc… One of the events we looked forward to each year was watching the fireworks and during the last finale, as all of us watched, tears would flow as they started play “Proud to be an American”. We were so proud to be Americans, that we were representing our country, rejoicing and thanking God for our freedom, and yet so homesick for our families. Many years later, tears flow when I see fireworks, I can still hear that song. You both will be in my prayers………..Blessings, Cathy

PS: Thanks for the opportunity for the blogg candy. I’ve been wanting that Martha Stewart punch for so long……..of course it’s all your fault…LOL, I first time I saw this punch being used was with your projects!!!ReplyCancel

Prayers for your husband and his surgery.
And now for my favorite song…hmmm I have so many…but I will say…
“Through The Years” by Kenny Rogers…they played this at my 10 yr high school reunion and all the couples that dated in high school and were still together danced to this song…ReplyCancel

I would have to pick Amazing Grace It was sung at my dads funeral eight years ago. I think it is a very powerful song and it also brings a tear to my eye every time i hear it.ReplyCancel

hi Becca,
wow! talk about memory lane. I’ve been reading all the responses and taking myself back to so many memories. One of my favorite songs is It Is Well (with my soul). It was sung at my dad’s funeral just over 4 years ago. I still can’t hear it or sing it without getting all teared up. But I knew that dad was in heaven so we could truly say it is well with my soul. Still miss him and the past few weeks have been worse than usual. Maybe because of father’s day coming up and a friend of mine losing her mom a few weeks ago.
Will keep you and your husband in my prayers for a successful surgery.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! :)ReplyCancel

Let’s see…I would have to say that it would “Reasons” by Earth Wind & Fire. I pretty much grew up listening to them (yup..I am really that old!). I love this song because my boyfriend at the time would sing it to me and tell me all the reasons why he loved me! Wow that sure brings back memories 20 years ago!
lol
TerryReplyCancel

Bummer about your air conditioning….I hate when that happens.

Take my breath away from the movie Top Gun. That was the song my hubby and I danced to as our first dance at our wedding. He was Navy stationed in San Diego and we both loved the movie at the time.
Thanks for the chance at winning.ReplyCancel

I will be praying for your husband..
You always make blog candy fun..
My favorite song is “Baby Baby Dont cry” by smokie Robinson. Believe this or not but when I was 14 years old I went on a field trip with the Martin Luthur King Center to NY to Apllo theater were the Miricles were singing, smokie asked some one to come down and sing with him — girl I screamed so loud “I’ll sing with you Smokie” He picked me to sing and girl I knew this song because it was one of the songs my singing group used to sing, I sung the whole sung with him and he looked me in the eye’s as he was singing and I kept up with him cause at 14 I could sing :). When we got done with the duet together he hugged me and kissed me, I do not have to tell you I did not want to wash my face for weeks, and every one on the bus trip couldn’t believe that he chose me out of that whole place.. Baby Baby Don’t Cry, I love that song, and every time I hear it I think of Apollo Theater :)ReplyCancel

Great question – I just heard this song the other day, and floods me with high school memories and drill team – “Grazing in the Grass”. Just a happy song, with fresh cut grass thoughts! Speaking of thoughts, you and your husband are both in my prayers(fyi – I noticed your dear hubby and mine share the same birthday – birthday twins!) Thanks Becca.ReplyCancel

One song that brings back fond memories for me is “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”. It played on the wind up “radio” I had when I was little – and I carried that toy everywhere!ReplyCancel

Hi,
Apache by Jorgen Ingman. It was on the radio when I was on my first date with my first big “crush”. The crush didn’t last very long….lol…..but the love of the song did.

All the best to you,

When I was in high school, for some strange reason every time I drove somewhere I would sing “When I Fall In Love”, and it goes on to say, “It will be forever”. That turned out to be true because when I met my husband, I fell in love at first sight and married him just 2 months later. That was 41 years ago, and we are still together. My Mother took the whole family on a cruise some years ago, and our grown daughter, Beth, sang that song when they had talent night, and then she had another participant sing his song, My Girl, while she danced with her Daddy. It was quite a night. I thought it was really neat that she sang my old song.ReplyCancel

Wow it took me a long time to read all of these posts but it was well worth my time. First I said a prayer for you and your husband. Second, thanks for the opportunity to win the fun blog candy. I have so many songs I love. One of my favorites is In The Garden. I loved all the Motown records in the 60’s and Led Zepplin. Love ” I Heard It Through The Grapevine”. by Gladys Knight and I love “Stairway To Heaven” from Zepplin. I like the Big Band music. I grew up listening to it since my parents loved it. Then one of my all time favorite bands is The Platters. Even though I was a small child when they were big I know all of their songs. Just a lot of great music to choose from.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
I have so many songs but one that stands out is Texas Tornado by Tracy Lawrence. My husband & I danced many a night to that song. It brings back a lot of good memories.
I wish your hubby the best of luck tomorrow & will definitely say a prayer for him.
Thank you so much for the GREAT blog candy & all your inspiration.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win such awesome blog candy!!! I would love to win this!

I will pray for your husband’s quick recovery.

EstherReplyCancel

Your contests have to be the most fun to enter. All the nostalgia/memories just came flooding back and I got to reflect on some precious long forgotten moments. So my favorite song is “Summer Place” by Percy Faith. Young innocent love, slow dancing, crinolines, poodle skirts & bobby socks, 45 RPMs……a wonderful era. Now it’s the gray hairs, wrinkles and aches and pains but the memories sustain me and the Lord has been good. May he bless your husband with a healthy and speedy recovery.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca!

One of my favorite songs is ‘Que Cera Cera’ by Doris Day. My Mom played it for me all the time when I was a small child. I was very young and find it kind of strange that I remember this.

Thank you for the chance to win and my prayers are with your husband for a successful surgery and a full and speedy recovery.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
I love a lot of songs but one that came to mind as I was thinking of your question, Ave Maria. It always brings tears to my eyes. It is such a beautiful song. I usually hear it at Christmas.

Hope your husband’s procedure goes without a hitch. I am sure it will. Hope his recovery is speedy as well.

Thanks for the opportunity to win a great array of goodies.
God bless you for sharing

whenever i must pick a fav song it takes me back to Olivia Newton J and John Travalto with Grease lightning, dont know why it just stuck in my head. its so vibrant and let me think of us being young, skinny and full of energy.
hope everything goes well with your hubby,,, sending you positive thoughts from South Africa!!ReplyCancel

How Great Thou Art was my FIL favorite hymn. We met as a family the evening he died and there was an amazing thunder storm. I always think about the rolling thunder of that night whenever we sing this hymn. Thanks for the chance to win this yummy candy!ReplyCancel

One of my favorites is Amazing Grace by Elvis! Good luck for your husband’s surgery. I don’t usually win prizes but I’m sure going to try.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca! My favorite song that has to do with memories is “what a wonderful world” sung by Louis Armstong. I don’t have a particular memory to go with this song, rather a whole range of “snapshots” and feelings that run through my mind when I hear (or hum) this song. A lot of them have to do with the beauty of nature, the wonder of living in this world and the absolute awe I feel watching my grandchildren grow.
It never fails to lift my spirit on a difficult day and renew my faith that everything always works out for the best.
take care, DoriReplyCancel

Becca: Hubby and I are sending you prayers and support to help your hubby tomorrow during his surgery and in the days ahead. There has been wonderful improvements in the eye surgeries the past few years. Father God will be with you both.

Hubby and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in January. The time goes by so fast. Our first dance at our wedding reception was a song by Chicago “Your the Inspiration”. We so loved the words and just fit us both to a “T”. We are so lucky that our song is still played over the airways today.. Keeps the song fresh in our minds.

Blessings to you both tomorrow and always

Amazing Grace… this is the song that brings me back to the Truth. It’s all about Jesus – through and through! That’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to your blog :)

Yes, praying for your hubby! May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon him (and you). May His Healing Hand bring health and restoration – physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally. May He bring both of you closer to Himself, opening your eyes further to His Kingdom purposes…
As your hubby will have surgery on his physical eyes, may his spiritual eyes also see more clearly! And now, may God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit go with you and abide with you always! Oh blessed be the Name of the LORD!!!

Love and healing hugs ~
LoriReplyCancel

Thank You Becca for this wonderful opportunity.
Guess 1 of my songs would have to be ‘Twinkle, twinkle little star’ cause I used to sing it to each of my 8 grandchildren. Now my youngest, who will be 2 in July tries to sing it but she leaves out the word ‘little’ but has enough determination that she still tries.
Thanks again Becca
ColleenB.ReplyCancel

So many songs, so many memories. But, here is the first one that popped into my head, Close To You by the Carpenters. Funny, but I actually sang it to a dog,….my best friend’s, brother’s dog. I was able to take it out, alone, to a nearby undeveloped land area. We would play pretend and explore together. Her name was Glory; and, I LOVED her so much. :) When my second son was born, it became his song,….I do not know why but it became the song that I always sang to him to sleep.

Hugs and prayers, JanineReplyCancel

Many of the songs that bring back memories are from when I met my husband. Carribean Queen is one of my favorites that reminds me of the night we met, out dancing, and was one of the first songs we danced to. We’ll celebrate our 25th anniversary this summer with a vow renewal and reception and will, of course, be playing all the old songs we danced to when we met and many other favorites from over the years. I do join with you in prayer for your husband. It’s an honor to share your life in this way.ReplyCancel

What a super fun way to have blog candy, Becca! As far as songs go, I’m terrible with names, but I do love the one called, Dancin in the moonlight: I think because my daughter enjoys it and I was surprised that she liked ‘old school’ music, like I do! :)ReplyCancel

My favorit song must be Love me tender with Elvis, as it was the first record my husbond gave me for the first christmas after we meet, so it has always meant the world to me, and still do. But many more has come to over the years too, but this will always be very special to both of us.
Thanks sooo much for sharing all the great tips and all your wonderful work with us, You´re such an inspiration to everyone always.
Biiiig hugs MaryannReplyCancel

Prayers offered for your dh. He has such kind eyes in the photo you posted. I pray that all goes well tomorrow.

And you’re so kind, offering blog candy at such a time!

I just love ‘Into the West’ from the Lord of Rings. Shivers run up and down the spine when I hear this.

Thanks so much for your great inspiration, Becca!

Hugs
Anne (UK)ReplyCancel

my husdands and my favorite song for over fifty years is Chances Are by Johnny Mathis. Thanks for the chance to win goodies. Our prayers will be for all the best for you and your husband.ReplyCancel

A favourite song!!! Really?? Just one??? You are so cute! Well, it would have to be ‘You are my Sunshine’. I love it! When we were little my mom would always be singing it to us or humming it as she was doing housework and I sang it for all my grandkids when I rocked them and now I sing it to my great nieces and nephews! What a classic!
Thanks for sharing and I hope your hubby comes through the surgery with no complications. :o)ReplyCancel

The opening song of Star Wars always reminds me of being a little kid at the drive in. Likely fell asleep for the rest of the movie but still remember the words on the screen and playing on the swing sets during the cartoons.ReplyCancel

“Jesus Christ is Risen Today….” Easter Sunday every year with the trumpets and the lilies…. sUSAnReplyCancel

My song is Che sera sera, sung by Doris Day!! I remember snging it with my gran when I was little and I sung it to my kids, too! Simply love it!
Best well wishes for your hubby and thanks for the chance to win, although I know I can’t win the extra, as I can’t stop by often enough this week… but hey, still got a chance on the main ;-)
Love, AlexReplyCancel

Eric Clapton’s “You look wonderful tonight” is my favorite all time song. My parents used to have dance parties and I was the DJ, I played it and Dr. Hook’s “Just a little bit more” every other song. They are still slow dancing 40 years later and it makes me happy to think of their undying love every time I hear either of these songs.ReplyCancel

My fav song is one my dad sang to me when we were in the boat fishing with my mom and brother. It was something about a bumble bee sitting on his knee (not the one about squashing it).
I wish he was still around to sign it to me and my son as I just can’t remember to words; at least I have the memory of speding so much time with him. Thanks Becca for these wonderful thought provoking questions! It is so nice to include Blog Candy, too. You are so nice!!!ReplyCancel

Oh Becca.. this is a dream candy :)

My favourite song/s are the ones from Michael Jackson. I was in my teens when his Bad CD came out, so between lessons, at school, I would crack all my classroom by joining a couple of tables, get up on them and imitate his dance movements…and sing… till a teacher caught me in the act!!! LOLReplyCancel

“Happy Together” by the Turtles was the song my husband and I chose to be our song while dating in highschool. Now 40 years later I guess we still are!ReplyCancel

Oh,my, there are so many. Well, “September” by Kool and the Gang as that song makes me want to dance like I did “back when.” Also, my son (now 21 and off in college) used to sing me the theme to “Aladdin” – “A Whole New World” on while playing it on his little cassette recorder. Cassette Recorder? What is that? Anyway, those two songs elicit different, but heartwarming responses.ReplyCancel

My mother died at the young age of 39. It was in January 1960, I was in the 6th grade. The next year our Chorus teacher was putting 2 songs together, one of the songs was Sweet Chariot. When it came to the part “I’ve never been to heaven, but I’ve been told that the streets are paved with gold” I broke down and cried. They escorted me out of the room and sent me to the Nurses Office until I stopped crying. That song made me think about my beautiful Mother who had passed on to heaven. No she wasn’t my Mother by birth, but thank God that they wanted me. She was such a beautiful person and made me what I am today.ReplyCancel

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows in 1999, with all of our children as our attendants. Our service was very spiritual, based on all of the trials we had come through as a blended family. Friends of ours played cello and sang “Only God Could Love You More”. There wasn’t a dry eye in the church at the end of our vows . . . Thanks for the opportunity to win “sweet treats” and for sharing your creativity with all of us. Blessings to your husband . . .ReplyCancel

Amazing Grace is another favorite of mine. What is more amazing than God’s grace? (This is fun!)ReplyCancel

I love everything. My song is Brick House. That is wishful thinking. Maybe back in the day. Maybe in other lifeReplyCancel

How about Amazing Grace? That song brings back so many memories of revival meetings in my youth. The words are still so true!ReplyCancel

When I was little, my family went to a Christian family camp in western NY. We had a special service for the smaller children during the adult service in the morning. One of my favorite songs was “How Great Thou Art.” I used to be fascinated by the stars at night, the vastness of the water, we were on Lake Ontario and that is a big body of water when you are 5 yrs old.ReplyCancel

Mine is “When a man loves a woman” this is the fiurst song my husband & I danced to when we were dating and it makes me feel wonderful every time I hear it knowing how lucky I am that God has graced me with him. I will say a prayer for your husband also. My husband just went through double catarac surgery and first time since he was 7 is glasses free. Don’t worry everything will be fine, Kurt had his surgery and is a high risk patient with his heart problems.ReplyCancel

Thoughts & prayers to your husband! Next song would be “When I Ruled The World” by Coldplay. I am all over the place musically!ReplyCancel

Becca

My prayers are with you and your hubby on this day, God provides NEW mercies everyday, so may He bless your hubby with healing grace and mercy and give you both the strength to stand.

I grew up in a house where my parents loved the the blues and I remember one song growing up (taking you way way way back) “Rainy night in Georgia”. I listen to a different kind of music today but ..

Have a great day!ReplyCancel

I love a whole bunch of songs, but one that always makes me smile is “I’ll say a little prayer for you” by Dionne Warwick. It reminds me of family being together during tough times but always having music to cheer us up. Its a ‘lifting’ song! I’ll say a little prayer for your hubby too.ReplyCancel

Hmm, a song….you’re really making us think Becca. I grew up in a rather musical family. Played the organ, sang, etc. I love the oldies. I remember playing “Silver Threads Among the Gold” on the organ because my Mom and Dad loved it. I often think, now that they’re both gone, how I loved playing meaningful songs from their youth for them. “Blue Moon” was another one.

Wind beneth my wings – by Bette Midler. I love the movie Beaches so every time I hear that song it just makes me want to cry.ReplyCancel

Such fun reading through everyone’s favorite songs! They all make me stop and say..”Oh yeah..I love that song too!!” Music is a universal language I guess! Favorite song… lots of choices, but Celebrate by Cool and the Gang is one of them. Reminds me of many celebrations..weddings, milestone birthdays, etc!! Fun and high energy!!
Your husband will be in my thoughts and prayers as he undergoes his cataract surgery…ReplyCancel

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star… I sang this many times to my girls when they were little. Now I am 66 and going to be a grandmother for the first time. My daughter is doing the nursery with that theme. I’ll be singing it again very soon. Have a beautiful, and your hubby will certainly be in my prayers.ReplyCancel

The lyrics of “The Weaver” tell about how we often don’t see the beauty of a piece of cloth (our life) lived for Him while it is in the process of being made on the loom by God. But once the loom is silent, our life done, the full glory and beauty is seen with the threads of dark and gold woven together by the Master’s Hand. My good friend used to sing this song when we were part of a gospel singing group – I love it still.ReplyCancel

Andy Williams’ Loves More Wonderful “The Second Chance Around” which I’m sure is self-explanatory. And So, so True in my case! Your husband is included in our prayers.ReplyCancel

“You can’t Hurry Love” by Phil Collins, actually his was a remake of a classic – not sure who did it the first time. I loved it as a teenager when many of my friends had boyfriends and I didn’t yet. It kept me from despair!! BTW have now been happily married to hubby of 21 years! I still like the song too. Praying for your husband , down here in South Australia.ReplyCancel

As by Stevie Wonder..I always get goose bumps when I hear this song..it’s so romantic. It reminds me of college days.ReplyCancel

The first song that came to mind was Sweet Home Alabama by Lynard Skynyrd. I went to a Christian boarding school for high school and that “kind” of music did not “pass” and was not allowed. I remember my roommate & best friend listening to that song while playing backgammon and also trying not to get caught. That song to this day is one of my favorites. Thanks for suggesting this as it has brought a smile to my face this morning. Have a wonderful day.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
I would have to say that my favorite song today is, by a christian band called Kutless,but I am not sure of the title.I guess it would be “I’ve seen dreams that move the mountians” I t is a great song about faith. I will keep your hubby in my prayers.ReplyCancel

“I Can Only Imagine” means a lot to me because we played that song at my Step-Dad’s funeral 8 years ago. Your hubby is in my prayers.ReplyCancel

Prayers for your DH’s cataract surgery. As for me? “Love Shack” by the B52’s sends my husband and me into a tizzy whenever we hear it. It was the first song we danced to together back when we met at a dance at university. Two decades later and the song still makes us act like young fools-in-love every time we hear it. Sure makes our 4 kids giggle to watch us :)ReplyCancel

Becca, my fav song is “NEVER MY LOVE” by the Association. I guess b/c that is my husband’s and my song. Everytime I hear it, I think of him and it just makes me smile. He is the love of my life, still after 38 years. So, yes, I will pray for your husband as he has this surgery. Thank you for your blog. It is a highlight for me to see daily and see what “quote” is there and what groovy insights and giveaways you have. Blessings~ReplyCancel

My favorite song is “Mockingbird Hill”. When I was little I would accompany my grandfather when he went to the bread plant to get bread for his neighborhood store. The plant was located on Mockingbird Lane and everytime we turned onto that street we would sing and he would whistle “Mockingbird Hill”. I was Granddaddy’s girl and everytime I hear that song, which is not very often, I smile and think of him.ReplyCancel

I have a really old song that brings back memories of my Dad. It is one he always whistled and it is “In The Pines”. I think if any of us kids heard that song we would automatically think of Daddy and see him walking around whistling it no matter what he was doing.ReplyCancel

This is so exciting…the first word is up. Will check back later for the next.ReplyCancel

Well, the first one I can think of is Mony, Mony – it’s the song that was playing when I first met my husband….26 years ago – holy smokes batman, where does the time go???

TeriReplyCancel

First of all, my thoughts and prayers are with you all on his surgery. Secondly, thanks for the opportunity with the blog candy. Thirdly, my favorite song. It would be very difficult to choose just one so one of them would be Misty that was “our” song so many years ago. I love The Prayer sung by Celine Dion and Josh Groban – WOW. And then there is always Crazy by Patsy Cline that always gets us singing.ReplyCancel

Another favorite song for this second chance to win is Amazing Grace…God’s grace is so amazing and I feel Him with me each day as I fight my second battle with breast cancer in ten years.

Thinking about and praying for your husband today!ReplyCancel

I pray your husband’s surgery goes smoothly. My favorite song is Endless Love by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. We had it sung at our wedding 29 years ago. One of my favorite Christian songs is He Keeps Me Singing, an oldie but goodie.ReplyCancel

On Thursday nights after my brother’s softball games, we would go to a bar and we would always play and sing along to “American Pie” by Don Mclean….GREAT MEMORIES!!! Hanging out with friends and having fun.ReplyCancel

One of my favorite songs is Bon Jovis Thank You for Loving Me. It was my wedding song so it always reminds me of my wonderful husband and beautiful wedding.ReplyCancel

Picking a favorite song is very hard – I have several. But I would have to say they hymn “Love Lifted Me.” My dad loved that song & singing it brings back wonderful memories of him. He is now with the Lord & my mother is too. I sure miss them both.ReplyCancel

Hey Becca,
Thanks so much for the time spent down memory lane. I had to wait a bit to think of just “one” song that took me where I enjoyed life the most. I love music so that was very hard! But after much deliberation the answer is “After Midnight” by Keiko Matsuoi. A soothing jazz that brings back even the smells of the beach, the laughs of kids on the playground, just everything.
Love your work, have been following you for a while, really appreciate all your inspiration. Prayers have been said for both you and your husband, and the surgeon. The spouse often needs more prayers than the operatee, and of course the Great Physician needs to be in control of guiding the hands of the human one.
Thank you also for the chance at blog candy, extra toys are always so much fun! Blessings to you and your family.

CindyReplyCancel

Prayers for you and your hubby as he undergoes surgery today……. May our God smile upon you both, giving you the strength to do the waiting and for hubby to have successful surgery and speedy recovery.ReplyCancel

My next favorite song that brings back memories is “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Elivs. Besides being a BIG Elvis fan, when I’m feeling troubled I listen to that song to remind myself that I’m not alone and God is with me in troubling times.ReplyCancel

Another favorite of mine is “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. The Celtic Woman group sings this so beautifully…! Love the part “…Dreams you dare to dream, will come true…”. And of course Judy Garland singing this is a classic favorite…! ‘Hope your hubby is doing well…ReplyCancel

The first song that came in my head was the Tennessee waltz. It reminds me of going on sunday drives with my family. My dad whistled this tune all the time.ReplyCancel

For me, the song would have to be Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse. It just brings me back to my jr. year of highschool every time I hear it!ReplyCancel

Becca, such a HARD decision… I can’t pick one favorite! I have many… but one that comes to mind with a memory attached is “Color My World” by Chicago. It was always the last dance of the night at high-school dances….many moons ago!
Thanks, and saying a prayer for your husband for sure.ReplyCancel

This is my Tuesday entry. No pun intended but does not love Amazing Grace. This song is such a favorite of mine and I love hearing all the different interpretations from so many different singers in different styles. When I hear this song I always get goose bumps1ReplyCancel

Wonderful blog candy, you’re so generous!

One of my favorite musical memories comes from a high school class reunion. My husband (before we were married) stood up with the band and sang Have I Told You Lately That I Love You. 3 years later, we were married. Happy Ending!

I’ll be praying for your husband and his medical team.ReplyCancel

Thank you for the opportunity to win!!! I visit your blog daily. I so enjoy looking at your creations. Keep up the great work! About the song- I think of “How Great Thou Art” brings a very good memory. My grandpa, who loved this song, had it sung at his memorial. Every time I hear the song, I think of him and smile. Carrie Underwood sings the song in the most beautiful way.

Have a good day!ReplyCancel

How much fun is this I can’t wait Becca you are always so creative I will say a prayer for your hubby I work in surgery center where we do cataract surgery. It is a very simple surgery for the surgeon but I understand the patient’s view you are working on his eye. I have faith he will do well.ReplyCancel

I have so many “favorite” songs, but one of mine is by Norman Greenbaum that came out in 1970 (yes I am that old lol). It is “Spirit in the Sky” It is sort of a rock n roll spiritual and I especially love the line “gonna raise me up to the spirit in the sky!” It is very uplifting to me.ReplyCancel

I know this will sound funny that it brings a good memory but “All out of Love” by Air Supply. My now hubby and I had broken up (things were going a bit fast for me) and he wrote this too me after a while, and we ended up getting back together, we have been married for 26 years so it brings a wonderful memory for me :)
Wishing your Husband well!ReplyCancel

Prayers for you and your husband today.

As a child, I spent a lot of time at my grandmother’s house during the day. She played the piano by ear and many days we would have her play the piano and we sang to the top of our lungs. She always ended with her favorite song, The Old Rugged Cross. I still love that song. She died 29 yrs ago, 5 weeks after my youngest son was born.

As a teen, when I was dating my husband, Diamond Girl was a favorite. I have pale blue eyes and he said that song reminded him of my eyes. We have been married 34 yrs now and he still comments on the color of my eyes.ReplyCancel

Becca, what a fun idea! Music is so important in our world.
The Twelth of Never from my high school days brings so many wonderful memories streaming back. Johhny Mathis made the music come alive! Best wishes to your hubby on his eye surgery. If I could only convince my dh to get his cataracts removed.ReplyCancel

Becca, wishing your hubby a successful surgery! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome blog candy. My song is The Wedding Song by peter, paul, and mary. My DH frequently sings it to me, and it still gives me shivers and weepy eyes to hear him singing it.ReplyCancel

Good Day Becca,

My thoughts are with you and your hubby for his upcoming surgery.

On to the song that brings back memories….I’m going WAY back to Paul Revere and the Raiders. The song is Indian Reservation. My sisters and I did this big performance for my parents WAY back then. We made our guitars from wood and cardboard and strung them with rubberbands. We made a stage with curtain to perform on and we had the time of our lives. I’m showing my age now because this happened back in the sixties.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca! One of my favorite songs is Amazing Grace, which was one of my dad’s favorite songs. When you think of the history of the song, it gives me great comfort knowing that no matter how low I might sink, God’s grace is amazing enough to bring me out of my sins and save me.

Thanx for all your beautiful cards, and for the blog candy.

Will keep your hubby in my prayers. I had to have cataract surgery a few years ago, and what they didn’t tell me was that my eye would feel like there was some sand in it. They only said it would hurt, which to me meant either something like a stabbing pain or maybe a dull ache, not something as simple as “sand” in my eyes!! Anyway, it went away by the end of the day. The hard part was keeping my eye open when I saw needles and things coming at it — very tricky!! There’s a natural impulse to get some “shut eye” right about then!!ReplyCancel

The very first song I learned from my wonderful mother “Jesus loves me”!ReplyCancel

I like the song Amazing Grace, even though it’s an old one.ReplyCancel

Wonderful! I love your giving spirit, and your inspiration! God does work for good through others, YOU! :)ReplyCancel

That candy looks awesome. Ok, I can’t choose so my two favorite songs are “The Old Rugged Cross” and “America the Beautiful”.

Prayers come your way for your husband’s surgery.ReplyCancel

i will surely pray for u and your dh hope all goes well. the blog candy looks really good. wish i could win this one!! one of my favorite songs is rainy days and mondays by the carpenters.ReplyCancel

My newest new favorite song is Hallelujah by kd Lang that she sung at the Olympic opening ceremonies. I love the sound of her voice, it is so rich. I didn’t understand the symbolism of the song until I looked up the Leonard Cohen poem it comes from. I could listen to this all day.
My prayers for your husbands surgery and for you and the strength and faith you possess.ReplyCancel

Thanks for the chance to win such wonderful candy Becca.
My favorite song is “The Prayer” by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. Every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes, not only because of the beautiful harmony between the two, but the message. It reminds me of a time when I was young and foolish and how I came out of it a better person.ReplyCancel

Everynight after devotions I sing and pray with our boys and they usually pick, Jesus Love Me. That is my pick for a song that always brings good memories. God bless!ReplyCancel

Years ago, on a three week trip to the Grand Canyon, by children kept starting songs, then just humming the ending. After days together in the car, I was a bit “testy”, so I announced that “No one can sing another song unless you know ALL the words”. The words were barely out of my mouth when my youngest began singing “A B C D”. His siblings joined in and before we got to Q everyone in the car was singing. We still laugh whenever anyone sings that song.

Thanks for sharing your creativity with the rest of the world.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
I hope all is well with your husband and that he is now
recuperating.
My favorite song is ‘How Great Thou Art’ – and the latest and
best version of it is by Susan Boyle. So inspiring and uplifting!
Blog candy looks terrific!
AllisonReplyCancel

To this day, Somewhere over the Rainbow is at the top of my memory list. It brings hope – something that we always need, but sometimes we need it more than at other times. I’ve sung this song to myself often…ReplyCancel

What awesome blog candy.
I have a favorite song with my son
ReplyCancel

Becca – so glad to hear that your husband’s surgery went well. My husband’s surgery also went well – a little more involved than first thought, but we are home and he is being a good patient.

Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” is a great song. My daughter teaches music for 4th and 5th grades and her students sang that song at a concert and everyone was touched – standing ovation.

I think I missed the first word this morning; I just forgot to look before we left for the hospital. But I love the word this afternoon.

Thanks, Becca!ReplyCancel

Thanks Becca for the praise report and keeping us posted. God is ableReplyCancel

Glad to hear the surgery went well.

One of my most favorite songs is Maggie May. Rod Stewart is my favorite singer and that song takes me back to when I was quite young.ReplyCancel

Day 2 song: this is a fairly new favorite for me called Follow Love by FFH. The song talks about moving on from things you’ve known and loved but that it’s time, I have to go. It really “speaks” to me because we’ve got our house up for sale and it’s time for us to move on. I will miss this place, we’ve been here 10 years. It’s the longest I’ve ever lived anywhere.
Here’s the lyrics in case anyone wants to know:
I’m gonna miss this simple town full of memories. I’m gonna miss just hanging out with all my friends. The rainy days and summer nights skippin’ stones by the riverside but I know, it’s time to go, so
chorus:
Here’s goodbye, here’s so long I must go and follow love
I feel my heart moving on I must go and follow love
Carry on while I’m gone this is what I been dreaming of I’ll miss you so, but I must go Go and follow love.
I’ve got a heart that’s full of dreams and a little bit of crazy. I can feel it pulling me to somewhere I have never been. I’m packing up and leaving home to travel into the great unknown it’s time, I have to go.
We’re not guaranteed tomorrow so we must just keep on livin’ for today. Make the most of every moment every step along the way.
Sorry for the long post but this song really does mean a lot to me.ReplyCancel

Thanks Becca for this awesome giveway. I hope your DH has a smooth and quick recovery.

I have two songs the first is by Anne Murray – “You Needed Me” which was my husband and my song while dating, he doesn’t remember this of course but when he came into my life he was exactly what I needed, the words to the song explain everything (tears in my eyes) and then when I was hoping he would ask me to marry him my favorite song was by Neil Diamond “Marry Me” I think I played it 100 times, it worked, he did ask and we’ve been together 23 years and I still get tears in my eyes when I think of these two songs.ReplyCancel

One song that come to mind is Let just kiss and say good bye by the Manhatten it is a fun memory because my brother was in a school that year and won the contest singing that song and I was happy for him to win the prize.ReplyCancel

One of my all time favorite is “Chances Are” by Johnny Mathis. Brings back the days when I used to sing to myself for hours. (still do). Glad to hear your husband is doing well and thanks for the opportunity to win your blog candy.ReplyCancel

Love what you do Becca! Glad to read all went well with Hubby’s surgery. Continued prayers for you all.
Lay down Sally – My name is Sallie and it came out when I was in high school. It was difficult to walk the halls without some guy singing it and my cheeks turning bright red.ReplyCancel

“Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from Wizard of Oz – I saw a documentary on Judy Garland, and they showed a clip of her singing this on her television program. She was dressed as a hobo, in rags with a dirty face, and it changed the song from a young girl’s wish to the desparate separation between the down-trodden and disenfranchised and the rest of us. From the hobo’s point of view, WE are “over the rainbow” in terms of the hobo’s ability to have a good life. Really made me think, and the performance had tears running down my face.

Amazing how the change of a costume/character could alter the song from a flight of fancy to a social commentary. I’ll never forget it! You can see it on YouTube: Judy as Hobo singing Somewhere Over the RainbowReplyCancel

Color my World by Chicago was my wedding song & it always reminds me of that very special day!!!ReplyCancel

Hello Becca, All the best to your husband. Hope all went well!!!
I would have to say my favorite song is Amazing Grace. My sweet husband bless his soul, Played it on the trumpet for me on our second date lol. I was just tickled pink. I do love listening to him play. He was my childhood sweet heart and played in a dixieland band. Makes me smile and feel good.ReplyCancel

Well, I could choose from a zillion Hymns and Choruses from church. But, I will choose the song, BECAUSE HE LIVES! It brings back memories of my childhood, singing around the piano as my mother played with my siblings and myself. Whether it be in practicing or in singing in church. My mom raised 4 children alone and there were many days for her I’m sure that were trying. But also for us as children, things were difficult on a different level. Singing that song through the hard times only reminded us that Gods’ hand was upon us and there was nothing to worry about. He would provide! And He did!!! Not only the everyday needs, but even the little prayers of a young child. One prayer? I had been gone awhile and came home and my kitty hadn’t been seen. I cried and prayed he’d come home and sure enough, he did! To many that may seem trivial, but to a child, it was everything!ReplyCancel

Believe it or not, the one song that stands out in my mind is “How Much is that Doggie in the Window.” My dad use to sing this song to be when I was very young while sitting on his lap.

So glad to hear that your husband made out well with his cataract surgery. You two are an amazing couple. Even though I have never met either of you, it is very obvious that you are truly in love.ReplyCancel

I love anything the Ritcheous Brothers did, but my favorite was probably Unchained Melody. My DH and I listened to it when we were dating. And we’ll be married 40 years this June. You have such a nack for interesting blog candy. It’s always fun. I’m sure I’ve already missed out on the double play because I subscribe via email and didn’t see your post until Tuesday afternoon. It’ll be fun to try anyway, though. Your candy looks quite tantalizing. Someone will be happy to win! Glad to know that your hubby’s surgery went well and prayers for a complete recovery for him.ReplyCancel

Becca, I’m so glad I discovered your blog a few months ago. I’m also trying to go back through your archives! The song that first popped into my mind was “Afternoon Delight”. This was played a lot on the radio the summer before my husband and I were married, 32 years ago!ReplyCancel

I have always been a creative person. But I truely think you are the most creativly blessed lady I know of. I aspire to have your talent. I visit your site everyday. You are discussed a lot at our copic marker playdates. I look forward to more of your work and ideas.ReplyCancel

glad everyone’s home and recovering nicely. :DReplyCancel

So glad that the preliminary report on you Sweet Husband look good!!! Thank You Jesus!!!
I think my new Favorite song is by AMY GRANT “Better than a Hallelujah” It reminded me of ALL of my struggles and that sometimes God likes the Prayers of the Broken Hearted better than a Hallelujah. It is one of those song that has touched me to my soul.

10.000 Blessings,
Valerie MartinReplyCancel

so glad everything went well, will keep u in my prayers. please keep me in yours.ReplyCancel

I would say for the song ~ “Wonderful Tonight” since that was the song we picked for our dance. Obviously it brings back memories of that special day.

Glad to hear the surgery went well ~ hoping for a quick recovery for your DH!ReplyCancel

I love music and enjoy many different types but will limit myself to sharing just one. Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up. I am going to have to play it right now, just thinking about it. There is no specific memory associated with it just that general time period that was so exciting for me. It was (and is) a great song to dance or exercise to.
Thanks for the chance to win and I will say a prayer for a quick recovery for your husband.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
Wow!!! what a great blog candy!
I like music… there are so many. Deppends on what I’m thinking about…. I love romantic music… Like “woman” (John Lennon).
Thanks for the chance to win. Maybe this is my turn.ReplyCancel

Not really a ‘song’ as such. But one that has very deep meaning is The Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major K299 by Mozart. It’s the first piece my father played as the pricipal flute for a major orchestra. It was also one of the last he performed prior to going into the army when he was later killed in action during the battle of the bulge in WWII. I was just a very small child but the piece is still deep in my memory banks.
Linda in SCReplyCancel

I can’t think of a particular song but many songs from the 80’s bring back memories of my teenage years. Also, certain songs I can remember roller skating to when I was younger. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyCancel

“In The Mood” by Glenn Miller (Big Band Music) makes me so happy and I just want to dance. My Mom had a quadruple bypass and it was touch and go for a long time, but when she was in the clear, I bought her some dancing flowers that played that song. It perked her right up and she smiled for the first time in weeks that made us all breath easier. Thanks for the opportunity to win this Blog Candy!! :) Keep inspiring Becca.ReplyCancel

When a man loves a woman by Percy Sledge is my favourite memory song as it was the song playing in the restaurant when I proposed to my Husband in 1999. Thanks so much for the jog down memory lane and also for your continued inspiration here. A very big thankyou for the chance to win your awesome blog candy.
Big Smiles to you Becca
Kylie :DReplyCancel

Another song would have to be “Louie, Louie”. That got everyone on the floor at highschool sock hops. Remember those?ReplyCancel

Jesus Loves Me … used to sing this to my baby boy (who is 20 now) as he was falling asleep in his crib.ReplyCancel

What fun Becca! I visit your blog daily so this is already part of my routine!!!ReplyCancel

Glad to hear your husband’s surgery came out OK.

“Don’t Fence Me In” … maybe not my favorite song, but it was my father’s favorite song and everytime I hear it, I think of him.ReplyCancel

What fun!! My favorite song with a memory was The House of The Rising Sun. When my husband and I were dating that was “our song” and he played it for me on the piano and his buddy would sing it as well. We had such good times back then. Thanks for the memory. I too am glad your hubby is through the surgery and I will still keep him in my prayers. Thanks for all you do. LindaReplyCancel

Thankful that things are looking god for your husband at this time. Trust that all will continue that way.
I have two songs that come to my mind as favorites they are: “You raise me up” and “I’m a mountain climber” Thye both bring to mind the all encompasing power of God to comfort, and then to guide when we go thru trials… Just like you are needing right now… just remember that you never climb the mountain alone there is one who is always with you.ReplyCancel

So gald to hear the surgery went well. My mom had the surgery done in the fall and doesn’t even wear glasses now!

I always enjoy your thought-provoking questions. The song that conjures so many memories for me is Cole Porter’s Begin the Beguine. My Dad, who passed away 12 years ago, loved that song and used to play it on the organ. Can’t help thinking he is with me when I hear it!ReplyCancel

Hi,
I am glad to hear that the surgery went well.

Your are my Sunshine – my husband used
to sing this to me all the time..it always
make me smile.ReplyCancel

Wow! This is really getting to be a long list of replyers! I’d love to be the lucky one, but wouldn’t everyone! Wonderful blog candy, but more than that….wonderful blog. I love following your creations.ReplyCancel

Old songs from Air Supply. I used to have to take my little sister cruising town with me, (mom felt I would be out of trouble with her with me), and we would play Air Supply 8-tracks. When she grew up, her friends wondered how she knew the words to songs that were a little before her time!ReplyCancel

Thank you so much for all the help you give us. I hae learned a lot from you. The song that brings back memories to me is “In the Garden”. My family use to gather around the organ and sing together and that is one that we always sang.ReplyCancel

The song that brings back memories for me is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It is the first song my daughter learned to sing and she would sing it with gusto. It puts a big smile on my face just thinking about it.ReplyCancel

What great blog candy. Thank you for offering it.
The song for me is “When I Need You” by Leo Sayer. I know, I’m dating myself. That is the song that meant and means so much to my hubby and me. It reminds me of when we first fell in love, it is our song.
I’m glad to hear that all is well with your hubby. Keep us updated.ReplyCancel

My favourite song is Leaving on a Jet Plane. It takes me back to my first teenage love. I was traumatized when my mom told me we were moving as I realized I would have to leave my first love and I would probably never see him again. My friends had a farewell party for me and this was the song my boyfriend and I danced to for the last time. He also sang to me when he came to see me off on my last day. I think you always remember your first love and the things that made you happy/sad.ReplyCancel

Prayers and well wishes are with you
Guess another favorite song would have to be ”We’ve Only Just Begun’ by The Carpenters.
Was a song that was playing on the radio at the time of our honeymoon.

ColleenB.ReplyCancel

Ah, “Prisoner of Love!” My hubby’s favorite love song to serenade me with. . . .ah. . . .ReplyCancel

So glad to hear your husband is okay. I will still say a little prayer for both of you. I know how stressful it is for both of you. I have lots of favorite songs – but this one just makes me happy everytime I hear it. Jump for Your Love by the Pointer Sisters. It just perks me right up!ReplyCancel

I love hearing any of the Beatles’s songs from the White Album because it brings back memories of when my DH and I were dating and listening to those songs on his 8 track in his Mustang. We’ll be married 40 years this year!ReplyCancel

My fiance & I started dating & listened to Alicia Keys when she was first starting out…. any Alicia Keys song reminds me of the beginning of our relationship & makes me happy :) Glad to hear your husband is doing good.ReplyCancel

“Baby Come Back” by Player, the memory is when our first daughter was born she was very colicky and my dh would rock Amy cradled in his arms to that song and it would soothe her. She loves that song today and you can find it on her ipod. That was 32 years ago!ReplyCancel

Another favorite song that brings back fond memories is ‘Little Drummer Boy’. My parents had Andy Williams Christmas album and they would put the album on when we kids went to bed. This remains one of my favorite Christmas albums.ReplyCancel

Well tonight I’ll go with DEEP PURPLE. When I was in high school, I had a great male friend, who was like a brother. On our way home from school(yes we walked) we would often stop at a little cafe and he would put a nickle in the jukebox and play my favorite song—DEEP PURPLE. I still have alot of joy when I hear it now.
I just love this subject you choose this time.
Needless to say I still hope I win.
Sure hope your sweet thing did well and is feeling fine.
Love and Prayers, Tomi JoReplyCancel

Another favourite song for me would be You Lift Me Up.
So glad your husband did well with the surgery…God answers prayer…why would we ever doubt Him.ReplyCancel

Definately “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” – oldie but goodie. It was the song for me and my high school sweetheart, who is now my husband of 15 years!ReplyCancel

Why Lady Why by Alabama reminds me of when hubby and I were dating. A friend who taught western dancing had taught me to two-step and I had learned to two-step slow, to Why Lady Why and really really fast to Gloria. And, yes, you really can two-step to both of those songs, LOL.

I’m glad to hear that everything looks good for your hubby. I hope he does great!ReplyCancel

Glad to hear that hubby is ding well – keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!ReplyCancel

Somewhere beyond the Sea by Bobby D. takes me back to when I would dance my legs off.ReplyCancel

BECCA BECCA HOPE YOUR HUSBAND IS DOING WELL, YOU ALSO.

MY FAVORITE SONG IS CALLED ‘FOR CYNTHIAS IN LOVE’. MY NINTHGRADE BOYFRIEND CALLED ME ONE EVENING AND TOLD ME TO
”LISTEN TO THE RADIO AT A CERTAIN TIME. THE SONG PLAYED WAS
‘FOR CYNTHIA’S IN LONG’. EVERY EVENING THAT SONG PLAYED AT A
CERTAIN TIME FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. AND FOR 59 YEARS, I HAVE
LOVED THAT SONG.

CYNTHIA BEYNONReplyCancel

my favorite song that has a memory is can I have this dance from anne murray . my mom would make me sing it to her when i was a child and on her death bed I was talking to her and when she was nearly at her end I played with her hair and sang it to her. It always makes me cry thinking about the last time I sang it to her, and how I took comfort in it that her family was there when she went peacefully home to god . making me cry right now actually . I miss her but I love that song and it brings me peace everytime I hear it :)

Love your blog Becca :)ReplyCancel

Glad your hubby is doing well… as for my favorite song… well it has to be “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius”.. My dad took me to see “Mary Poppins” when I was a little girl and he has been singing that song to me ever since… I’m 53 now so that was a LONG time ago :)ReplyCancel

Glad things are looking good with your dear hubby. Praying all will be well and he will heal without any problems.

Song, well its Happy Birthday, but what I loved is because its really not that easy of a song for a lot of people to sing …where i use to work we would always sing HB to that special person but the twist was to use your worse voice and believe me some of us did not have to try at it LOL what I liked is that EVERYONE sang and did not feel threatened they wouldnt sound good. Great memories were made and good times were had and for sure a happy day and lots of laughs.ReplyCancel

LOL, you come up with the greatest questions!! The song I have great memories of is Rockin’ Robin! My little sister’s name was Robin and I can remember riding my bike with her sitting on the handle bars and us just singing that song. I lost her unexpectedly 10 years ago (she was only 31) and I miss her so. I still love to hear that song and smile at the memories of the wonderful times we had. Thanks for making me think of them again this evening. Have a blessed day! Tracy S.ReplyCancel

Becca
Glad to hear that everything is looking good. You and your husband are in my prayers.ReplyCancel

Hope your husbands surgery went well. You are in my prayers. Thanks for the chance at the great blog candy.

I have been dancing since I was 3 yrs old so music has played a huge part in my life. Thru the years there have been so many songs that spark many memories. But I have to say there is nothing greater then watching your children having children of there own. So I have to say, my favorite song is “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw. The first time I heard that song I instantly thought of my son and the love he has for his little girl and vise versa. Every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes and warms my heart.

MarcieReplyCancel

One song that will always bring back memories for me is “Lean on me”, since I sang it to my husband the night we met while we danced, and he has always remembered it. I’ve always loved that song.ReplyCancel

Becca

Your blog is always so inspirational and I hope I get as talented as you!

Thank you so much for sharing your talents and the awesome blog candy!

TWO OCCASIONS-THE DEELE?

This is the first song my husband and I ever danced to in college at a Frat party and we just Celebrated our 20th year anniversary on April 28th. Every time I hear that song it takes me way back to some wonderful memories my husband and college!

Hound Dog-Elvis Presley

To the time when I was in 3-4th grade and my Dad and I always watched all the Elvis movies together and had a blast. He resembles Elvis with the cole black hair and side burns and the beautiful eyes. I remember him signing hound dog to me a lot too

That was a great question

Thank you

Hi Becca! What a great contest. It is a lot of fun to read what others have to say on random questions.

One of my all time favorite memories whenever I hear the song Under the Boardwalk by the Drifters is remembering my Dad singing it and dancing around the house then grabbing my Mom and dancing and singing some more. Dad stops whatever he is doing and sings along with that song, smiling the whole time. I don’t know what the meaning is for him, but for me, it’s all about happy memories of him and Mom dancing around the house.

I see that your husbands surgery went well. Wishing him a speedy recovery.ReplyCancel

Glad to hear the Surgery went well. An old song that is sung only once a year brings back many memories for me. Every New Years Eve when I was growing up, my Mum and Dad held a New Years Eve party and it was huge! Being Church Youth Group Leaders as well as coming from big families, it was great fun. When the clock struck midnight we all used to sing Old Lang Syne (not sure of the spelling) and even though I would often be half asleep, I can still picture the faces of my aunts and uncles as they sang it out.ReplyCancel

Becca, I hope your husband is doing well!!

You should have made this one a week long – there are so many songs and not enough days! I think today I’ll tell about two that go together Spirit in the Sky and Sweet Caroline. When I was in nursing school we had to get from our school to the State Psychiatric Hospital where we were going to stay for 6 weeks. It was about a 45 minute drive and very few of us had cars. A male student in my class, Harry, drove a whole carload of us girls and blasted the radio all of the way there – with everyone singing the entire time. These two songs have always stuck in my mind and I can still hear us all singing them. We were so young and scared of what was to come – it helped us face the day.ReplyCancel

Another song i really like is “All i want is you” by U2. Beautiful love song.ReplyCancel

That should have read “She passed away 10 years ago”. So sorry!!! C:o)ReplyCancel

Be Thou My Vision…..a wonderful Sunday evening service where the snow was so gently falling outside…. sUSAnReplyCancel

Glad to hear the surgery went OK!!!

I love hearing the old hymn ‘Will There be any Stars in My Crown’. I learned it as a little girl one summer at Vacation Bible school when I was visiting with my Grandmother. I would sit on the front steps after I went back to her place and sing it all afternoon while I played. I also fell down those same steps and landed on a cactus and ended up pulling cactus spines out of my tooshie since I was too embarrassed to tell my grammy what had happened! OK, I know I shouldn’t chuckle to myself when I hear a hymn but I can’t separate the two!
Thanks for giving us a chance to share our stories Becca! :o)ReplyCancel

Becca, your challenges are always thought provoking! My song for today would be “I Need You Now” by Lady Antelbeelum. I think they are outstanding!ReplyCancel

Another song favorite ‘ My Favorite Things’ because I loved the movie ‘The Sound of Music’.

ColleenB.ReplyCancel

The song that brings back memories in our house is Edelweiss. Even though we are of Irish decent, that was the lullaby that would put our kids to sleep all the time. My daughter now 23, plays it on the piano as her warm up song.ReplyCancel

my favourite song is Hallelujah. I love that song. I think my favourite version of it is by K.D. Lang. Justin Timberlake sings a nice verson and even Lee DeWyze sang it last night on American Idol. for some reason that song has the ability to calm me down and put things into perspective.ReplyCancel

Another song that brings back memories. The Turtles “Happy Together”

We as 10th graders were put in a new Jr high while waiting for the new High School to be finished.

So we used to push the limits on what we could get away with.

the entire 10th grade gym class would sing this song in the locker room.

Brings back memoriesReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
Glad that things went well for your husband. I had a friend who went to college in West Virginia. Almost Heaven by John Denver was quite popular and a trip we took to visit her was just that Almost heaven. The leaves were changing to their fall colors. It was breath taking. Blessings.ReplyCancel

At Christmas time, I enjoy singing “Angels We Have Heard on High”. I love to hear the “gloooooooooria” parts. I just love the Christmas season and the celebration of our Lord’s birth.ReplyCancel

Jesus Loves Me. That is the first song I learned and I still love the song because it is true. Jesus does love me.ReplyCancel

A song my children and grandchildren loved to hear was Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro….remember that? It always cheered them up when they needed to find a smile.ReplyCancel

Becca, I hope that your husband’s recovery is going well.

One of my favorite songs is ‘Faithful God’.ReplyCancel

So glad the surgery went well!! We will keep your DH in our thoughts and prayers anyhow. You too!
For me….”How Great Thou Art” will always remind me of my grandfather. My 4 sisters and I sang it at his funeral. (At least we tried. Two verses went well, then we started choking up one by one so that the organist had to start singing it for us). It was the most fitting final tribute we could give to such a wonderful man. Now, whenever I hear that song, I think of him :)ReplyCancel

Happy to hear the surgery went well!
Favorite song….? Too many to pick just one I guess..but anything by Neil Diamond makes me smile!! Love his voice!ReplyCancel

Crown Him With Many Crowns…the Michael W. Smith version, of course! Continued prayers for your husband’s recovery.ReplyCancel

Jesus Loves Me is the song. I started singing it to my children after we read a story at bedtime and it became a tradition. All 4 of my children and now my 7 grandchildren… :-)

Glad your husband’s surgery went well. Will continue to pray for total and complete healing.ReplyCancel

You are my Sunshine because my great Aunt use to sing that to my mother in the morning to get her to drink her orange juice. I can remember visiting her and hearing my mom ask her to sing that song. We all would laugh but the memories still make me smile and remember those good times. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane.ReplyCancel

Another great song that brings back a fun memory is How Great Thou Art.
My brother came home one day after church and sat down and started to play it. He did the first verse and then when he got to the chorus o he just started rocking it out. That memory has stuck in my heat for 40 years. Now the other night I went to a church to see a speaker and the worship team stared playing the song and the first verse was the traditional way of playin and then all of a sudden they did the same thing my brother did….LOL. I have to say it was amazing to her 700 hundred people singing it.

ON a side note if you ever get a chance to see Nick Vujicic …No arms No legs No problem go see him an amazing man with an amazing message!ReplyCancel

Hope Hubby is doing well, he has been in my prayers…
Have a Blessed DayReplyCancel

Glad your husband is doing well. Those things are always scary so good to have it behind him.

Party like its 1999. That was sooooooo popular the year I graduated from HS (1985). Makes me think of those days.ReplyCancel

When I was in grade school I learned a song called Fifty Nifty United States and that’s how I memorized all the states in alphabetical order. When I hear it today, it reminds me of grade school.ReplyCancel

the song “reminiscing” brings back memories of the year i was a senior in hs and we had a grand dance. glad to hear hubbie is doing ok.ReplyCancel

On the road again … love that song. It always comes to mind whenever we do road trips (which hubby & I love to take.)ReplyCancel

Any song that is sung by Ella Fitzgerald reminds me of my dad…ReplyCancel

Glad to hear everything went ok with the surgery! I enjoy participating in your blog candy comments. You make me think about things that I don’t usually take the time to remember. :) My fav song is “Can’t fight this feeling” by REO Speedwagon. It takes me back to when my husband & I were dating. That song played over & over on the radio & it became our song. It brings happy tears whenever I hear it. Thanks for the opportunity to win!ReplyCancel

“How Great Thou Art” is one of my many favorites. I always think of it as we drive through the mountains and stop at some of the overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We were so blessed when George Beverly Shea came to our church one night and sang it as well as “I’d Rather Have Jesus” and many other beloved songs!
Glad the surgery went well! Still praying for you and your hubby!ReplyCancel

Good Morning Becca

Healing Grace upon on your hubby.

Here’s another song I love to hear and it is ” Never Could have made it”

It holds so true for me, Never could have made without the Lord in my life.

Have a blessed day!!!ReplyCancel
