Oh, what a wonderful story!...Happy New Year, Kathy! Oh, what a wonderful story! I would have loved to have seen the clapping, tapping and singing the poem. That's a great idea too. Thanks for popping in to see me and are you enjoying retirement now?<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226414524517678615.post-49535611143607081232016-01-04T10:50:31.284-05:002016-01-04T10:50:31.284-05:00I do love your sharing your friend Marianne's ...I do love your sharing your friend Marianne's adventures and memories with us! Her method is so reminiscent of my own many years of poetry-memorizing---I'd walk and recite, with the book open to the proper page and clasped to my bosom, ready for a peek when I needed a prompt, as I circled round and round block after block of our neighborhood. I STILL reel off long essays and poems and sonnets at the sink, driving along, or simply to the Grandchildren after bedtime story and before prayers. I don't think The Cremation of Sam McGee is quite the bedtime soother.<br /><br />And did you know that almost any verse of Dear Emily Dickinson can be sung to "The Yellow Rose of Texas?" Oh, Dear. Dishwashing and house-straightening today will be one long sing-along.<br /><br />stay well and warm, on this FIRST work (non-work!!) day of this NEW YEAR!<br /><br />rachel RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226414524517678615.post-52441259439880544612016-01-04T06:16:12.514-05:002016-01-04T06:16:12.514-05:00 What a clever way to accomplish this!
