| Sharon reading about your swings and growing up with them reminded me of the rope and tire swings my sisters and I had as children. We hung one from a very sturdy limb in our pepper tree and also in several trees that grew behind neighbors houses up on the hill. Those we played Tarzan using one rope to swing to the next and so forth. Reading of your family and the Who's Who does bring back loads of memories and some we made after I had my children.

| Thank you, LaVonne, for reading them. I hope they are all happy memories. |

| What a lovely swing, and story of memories. |
|

| Hi Maridell, thanks! |
|
|||
| This was sooooooo enjoyable! Thank you, Sharon! Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. More ramblings at http://thegatheringplacehome.myfastforum.org/forum54.php |

| Thanks, Mary! The comments are more fun than the article!! |

| Now I can't get that song out of my head. Thank goodness it's a song I like. "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." Will Rogers |
|
|||
| Me too. Been singing it for a couple of days now. Driving myself crazy since I can only remember as far as the 'mule'. |

| Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a mule A mule is an animal with long funny ears Kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny but his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak And by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a mule Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a pig A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgrace He has no manners when he eats his food He's fat and lazy and extremely rude But if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pig Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a fish A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Every day you meet quite a few So you see it's all up to you You can be better than you are You could be swingin' on a star  |

| I really wish you hadn't done that, Zany. I'll be singing it now and forevermore. |

|

Then I suppose you don't want me to put the sound track of Bing Crosby singing it here  |
|
|||
| Thank you very much, but no. It is so not necessary. It's already printed indelibly on my mind, never to be erased by time nor more debris. |

 Your wishis my command, I will trouble thee not with the recorded rendition |
