Daisy, Daisy
give me your answer, true
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you
it won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
but you'll look sweet, upon the seat
of a bicycle built for two!
My Grandma Ginna used to sing that song, sometimes to herself but often to me. When I hear it I have a strong memory of being in her kitchen, the comforting smell of onions cooking on the stove, red geraniums in the flower boxes outside. I don't know if I was singing along - I must have been seven or so and my thirty-year-old brain hasn't retained that detail. Even though some of the specifics are a bit fuzzy, I love that memory. It makes me feel safe and loved and...home. So I've named my blog after that special little song, with the hopes that it too will bring me (and you!) lots-o-smiles.
I have big plans for this blog - things I want to talk about, questions I want to ask. I'll probably drone on and on about my love for coffee and how I really wish mix-tapes would become cool again. I'll pose "would you rather" questions and expect honest answers from you. For the next few months I'll dish about some wedding planning details and then dive head first into semi-annoying newlywed chatter. Brace yourself, it could get self absorbed. I'm just saying...
Thanks for visiting and reading...I hope you will again!
I look forward to getting to know you :)
