Childhood Smiles

This is a completely random weekend post that I hope you will join along with! Have you ever heard a song that just makes you smile? Did it happen to be incorporated into a musical or movie that made you buy the DVD and watch it over and over again? Did you ever wish that the singer was actually a family member or friend that you could call up and just chat with?

Well, I ran across this video tonight and listening to it just made me smile.



It brings me back to the 70's and 80's when I grew up and I just loved Olivia Newton John. I first fell in love with her in Grease and then I wished she were my sister, best friend or mother (could be possible - LOL)!

I also wished that my dad was Michael Landon (remember Pa Ingalls?)! Seriously! I had dreams that I would run through fields of wildflowers towards Pa and he would whirl me around and tell me that he loved me. Of course, I was Mary, not Laura... I was further convinced that it was meant to be when Mary got married and her last name became Kendal, which is my middle name.

OK, so now you know a little bit more about me and what it is that made me who I am today... a little kooky, I bet you are thinking, to even have come up with this post. So, if anybody wants to join along, post something fun about your childhood that makes you smile still today!

I promise that I am sane and sober tonight... just being a bit nostalgic as my daughter is off to her Junior Father Daughter Dance and I just wonder what it is someday that she will remember from her childhood.
