A perfect opening for our rainy, dreary weather here. I didn't recognize the song from the title or reading the lyrics, but as soon as I heard the piano opening I realized I've heard it many times.

Thank you. I have always liked Barry Manilow and have added the song to my play list.

I actually wanted to use this version of "Made it Thru the Rain", because I just love hearing TWO of the voices (Taylor Hicks and Carrie Underwood), but the very last note from the whole group is really bad - one or two or I don't know how many hit a REALLY sour note! Listen, though, as Carrie starts the song during the American Idol Season 5 Finale (where Taylor won), and when Taylor comes in with that powerful, soring voice it just ROCKS the stage.

Very lovely Billie...a bit sad.
I made it through the rain also but a new cloud rolls in occasionally. There are many kinds of rains in our real lives! When that happens, we just ‘keep on keeping on’. And the sun always comes out again.

Wonderful Opening Graphic and Music, Billie.
Thank you for Opening and Hostessing Today's Thread.

Thank you for all you do for Amy's.
I appreciate all the little extras that you do.

Have a Terrific Tuesday.

Gonna venture out into the rain this afternoon to snap some pictures of the Amgen Tour bike race as they make their appoach to our fair city (hoping to get a great shot of Lance Armstrong).

The racers started out in San Jose this am and will travel 104 miles to the finish line in the third leg of the race. Expected to arrive in downtown area between 2:30 and 3:30. This is the third stage of the race with completion on Feb 22 down in So California city of Escondido (east of San Diego).

Reflections After The Rain

Good Afternoon To Amy's Place
Wish we had some rain!
Thank you, Billie for the pretty opening and song.
Happy Tuesday Everyone

Very pretty graphic, I like this frame.

[La Enchiladita]

Another great choice of music for rainy days, Barry Manilow!

Thanks, (((Billie))).

P.S. Yes, I am listening....:)

Billie, this is very lovely. When I first viewed it, I couldn’t see the duck. I heard discussion about the duck, so I went back and saw the duck’s shadow and then the duck was very visible. Isn’t it strange how our eyes don’t pick up all in a picture at first? A picture must be studied, I guess, especially by me...LOL!

Good version of the song, but I liked the second version better.....now I wonder why?

Great opening, today, Billie! Perfect picture and lyrics! (Love Barry Manilow!) Thank you!

Now, to you, Billie, Amy, Lori, and Meg - I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you do - each and every day. What a team you all are, here! The diligence it must take to put such ‘eye-candy’ together every day - the graphics, poetry, music, links, ideas, tech help, replies and responses to all the pings, your patience, and just giving all of us a wonderful warm and fuzzy room to gather with our coffee each day.

I just have one question:
Must we wait a full year to have another “Love Week”? ((((hugs))))

[Majie Purple]

Nice B. Manilow song!
