A Home’s Heart

The cabin grew small when the children arrived,
But the happiness fit, and the family thrived.
With a little more room when they added a part,
That surrounded the fireplace that is a home’s heart.

With the breakfast in morning and smiles with the feed,
They scatter to fetch in the things that they need,
So when the day ends and they gather once more,
They’ll be sharing some things you can’t buy at a store.

There’ll be laughter and stories, and some kids to be kissed,
And a song and a prayer, and some items I missed.
When the fire goes out, there’s a sadness you sense,
That four walls without love ain’t much more than a fence.

Dance Like a Chicken Day

When: Always on May 14th

Dance Like a Chicken Day is for those who like to do the "Chicken Dance". All 'ya gotta do is dance like a chicken. While any dance song will do, there's no dance like the Chicken dance.

It's tradition at every wedding reception to play and to dance the Chicken Dance. It gets people of all ages up dancing and mingling. It puts a smile on everyone's face. The Chicken Dance is not limited to weddings. It is also played at other social events where there is a band and dancing.

The only problem is that events are way too infrequent for a chicken dance lover. Therefore, today exists to provide you with another opportunity to dance like a chicken. So, don't pass up this priceless opportunity. 

The Chicken Dance song was originally titled "Der Ententanz" (The Duck Dance). It was created by Swiss accordion player Werner Thomas of Davos, Switzerland. Thomas created it in the 1950's.
