July 4th Church Picnic —

Yes, I took lots of pictures —


Yes, we had lots of fun.


And Yes, there is a story to tell.


But it is Wednesday, and I always (at least I try to always) go to Mama’s on Wednesday.  So pictures and stories will have to wait for another time.


And regarding Youngest Son’s comment on the last posting:


The music on the this site is a very old song.  When I was a little girl, a high school girl came into our school mid-term one year.  Her daddy had died, and she and her siblings were staying with relatives temporarily.  She had a great voice, and I can remember her sitting on the bus, tears in her eyes, singing this particular song.  I couldn’t find it sung anywhere, but I did find the music.  It goes with the train of thought that has been rolling around in my heart.


How far is Heaven? When can I go?
To see my Daddy.  Here’s there, I know.
How far is Heaven?  Let’s go tonight.
I want my Daddy to hold me tight.

  1. Polly put concern for you in my mind when she said the weather brought a thunderstorm.  I can hardly wait to hear about your picnic.  My site tells about our severe weather.

  2. I am old enough to know that old song. And that instrument sounds like an old pump organ. I laughed out loud when I read your son’s comment last night at 1:00 a.m. Tell him to just turn his speakers off, for goodness sake!!

  3. Hello I like your song on here now. Hope you all had a good day now. God bless you all!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Did you used to sing it?? B/c it sounds like i MIGHT have heard it before…and i agree w/ whoever said it sounds like an organ. Good words too mom…luv yah-Lem
