The CheerWine worked. I feel better. I had a good heart-to-heart with my friend Spikey
and she got me listening to upbeat hymns. Well, I guess they aren’t hymns – they are more like religions songs: That Old Time Religion, Standing in the Need of Prayer, Count your Blessings.
I can see my husband’s grandmother and two-great aunts – they would be Liddy, Cuba and Venda – standing in the kitchen drying dishes singing Count your Blessings. . . . See what the Lord hath done. Perky religious songs.
Oh, by the way, Spikey was first mentioned at the RED PIANO.
Have you ever noticed this new generation doesn’t even know any of the old “hymns”. I was singing “ohhhhh come come come come, come to the church in the Wildwood, oh come to the church in the dale….” and you’d think I was singing a foreign language.
