The only two of your favourite songs I am familiar with are How much is that doggy in the window, and the yellow rose of Texas. Most of my childhood songs were cowboy songs as I was rasied on a ranch in the Canadian prairies. One of my favourites was You are my Sunshine as my Dad always sang it to me.Darlene Fosternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-28520341096474540192012-05-15T21:37:46.180+01:002012-05-15T21:37:46.180+01:00Hello Nikki-ann, it might be nice to hang on to so...Hello Nikki-ann, it might be nice to hang on to some of the Ladybird books from your childhood, or ask you niece to take good care of them for you.

I’ve been a fan of Barbara C Freeman for a long time and like you, I love the animals. While reading your comment, I found myself singing the big rock candy mountain!<br />I don’t think its luck.
