WAY BACK ON 13 JUNE: IN CASE YOU DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. |
Later Sunday afternoon from my vantage point on the beach...
I have no idea why the day made me think of this song from my childhood (maybe just because I've recently been "dwelling in the past" way too much):*
*I didn't know it at the time but Grace Darling (the subject of the song) was Judyshannonstreetwhat's (click here if you've fallen behind on your reading) grandmother (although the Grace Darling of the song was fictional while the grandmother was not (as far as I know).**
**Oops! It turns out Grace Darling (of song) really did exist (click here if you're interested). But she's not the same Grace Darling as Judyshannonstreetwhat's grandmother.
I always thought Grace Darling was an actual person, a lighthouseman's daughter and hero of the day.
ReplyDeleteWaterworld looks fun , more so when it's a bit bouncy out there!
Jean:
DeleteThanks for setting me straight (about Grace Darling, at least). I just read about her and have added the link to the post!
This is the first I've heard of Grace Darling. My education continues.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteMine does, too. Thanks to Jean I now know she was real!
I have never heard this song but it is interesting.. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteThe Limeliters formed I think around 1959. They're a good example of all-American folk singers/minstrels.
Love your headline!
ReplyDeleteMichael:
DeleteAw, thanks. I try.
Riptides, well I should say....nothing worse than losing your footing then being dragged under water for ages....been there done that got the T!!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteSo have I. I respect the sea and I listen to the lifeguards.
I too am thinking a lot about the past; I suspect the end of summer does this to a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteI dwell... summer winter autumn spring. Ugh!
