BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFVy8td-H-A - The Anniversary Waltz - Connie Francis
BONUS #3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgKA-vWwecg&NR=1 - The Anniversary Waltz - Mantovani
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anniversary_Waltz:
The Anniversary Waltz is a popular song written by Dave Franklin, the lyrics by Al Dubin. The song was published in 1941. It has been covered by Vera Lynn and Connie Francis. The title "Anniversary Waltz" is often mistakenly and confusingly used to refer to the entirely unrelated Anniversary Song.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS:
TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES: From
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0713.htm - INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO: Saturday, July 13, 1861 CHEAT CONFLICT CROAKS CONFEDERATE COMMANDER Gen. Robert Selden Garnett has never been as famous as his cousin (and West Point classmate, class of ‘41) Richard Brooke Garnett. He had been an instructor at West Point, and at the time of the outbreak of the War he could easily have remained in Europe. Instead he returned, resigned his commission in the U.S. Army, and signed up with the South. Field command, unfortunately, did not seem to be his forte. Pushed back relentlessly from Rich Mountain two days ago, he led his men into the valley of the Cheat River. Today, at Corrick’s Ford on that river, he was defeated again. Riding out to tell his skirmishers to withdraw, he was killed. Garnett thus became the first general on either side to die in the Civil War. Monday,

C'mon, Typhoon Family - y'all know what to do!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA -
07/12/11 - "Never Borrow from the future.":
"Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen
tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it
does happen, you have to worry twice." 1. Pray 2. Go to bed on time. 3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. 4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. 5. Delegate tasks to capable others. 6. Simplify and unclutter your life. 7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. 9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. 10. Take one day at a time. 11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it. 12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. 13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc. 14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. 15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday. 16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line. 17. Get enough rest. 18. Eat right. 19. Get organized so everything has its place. 20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life. 21. Write down thoughts and inspirations. 22. Every day, find time to be alone. 23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray. 24. Make friends with Godly people. 25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand. 26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus ..' 27. Laugh. 28. Laugh some more! 29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all. 30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). 31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most). 32. Sit on your ego. 33. Talk less; listen more. 34. Slow down. 35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. 36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. If God is
for us, who can be against us? My instructions were to send this to four people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. I decided to send it to more than four, because I didn't want to limit blessings. SEND IT FORWARD PLEASE, Not backward! |
Thanks so much, Shari - I picked over 650 people!
From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 07/05/11 - "Quotes of the Week":
"Self-respect is the fruit of
discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to
oneself." "If I have ever made any valuable
discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any
other talent." - Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) |

From www.ajokeaday.com - 07/12/11: |
Three mice are sitting around drinking and boasting about their strengths. The first mouse says "Mouse traps, Ha! I do pushups with the bar". The second mouse pulls a pill from his pocket, swallows it, and says with a grin "D-Con Rat Poison". The third mouse finishes his drink, slams his glass on the table and starts to leave. The first mouse says,
"Where do you think you're going?” |

Lyrics by
Al Dubin
(10 June 1891 - 11 Feb 1945); Music by David Franklin, 1941
We just discovered each other
Tonight when the lights were low
One dance led up to another
And now I can't let you go
So tell me I may always dance
The Anniversary Waltz with you
Tell me this is real romance
An anniversary dream come true
Let this be the answer
To our future years
Through millions of smiles
And a few little tears
May I always listen to
The Anniversary Waltz
With you
Let this be the answer
To our future years
Through millions of smiles
And a few little tears
May I always listen to
The Anniversary Waltz
With you...
