Singing in the Rain

Ah, the rain. I like rain. Especially spring and summer rain. As a little girl in the country, I would throw on my bathing suit and run outside to sing and dance in the rain and splash in the mud puddles!

Now when it rains, I don't usually have that urge as often, but I do like to curl up with a book or a movie (perhaps a musical), or play games, or DANCE! But then again, when don't I like to dance?!

When I woke up today and saw that it was going to be a cooler, rainy day, I immediately began singing this song. Upon leaving the house early to make it to a Dr. appointment and then to Bible Study, I was sad that I had forgotten my Umbrella. Not due to being wet, but to dance with :).

Of course another song began playing in my head, so today, I will have 2 videos; a classic from the 1952 musical, and a mash-up version from Glee.

I may not be out singing and dancing in the rain all day, but while I have to be out and about, I will be! And even though our picnic dinner while watching daddy play softball has been cancelled, we shall now enjoy an indoor picnic with some yummy tomato soup!!

Amazing Grace

We have some excellent musical talent in my family. My Dad has a wonderful singing voice. I have a many memories with the 'background' music being his voice singing the hymns from church. My sister also has a naturally beautiful voice. She could try out for American Idol. And not because I am mean and say her voice is good when it really isn't and then she believes it and goes and tries out and belts out off tune music but still believes it is perfect. I feel sorry for those people. But No, she is really good.

With my love for music, I obviously love to sing as well. I'm not a great singer, but I'm not bad either. I sing loudly in the shower, in the car, wherever, and I think I sound good. My boys have told me to stop singing before so I could be wrong.

I love Hymns. I enjoy so many of the current worship music of today, but there is nothing like the classic hymns I grew up with in Church.

Today's song is just that. A great hymn, Amazing Grace, who's lyrics say everything. My sister and I used to sing it a cappella at home. We sound good together :).

Tissue Time. I love you Sister!!
