LOL! And see, I forgot about Conway Twitty singing it - I think it's The Eagles' song, originally, isn't it? (Was it the Eagles?)

Hear Bette sing Wind Beneath My Wings and view a pretty page HERE :)

[Billie]

BTW...you did a beautiful job of illustrating the opener and the Pledge. Thanks, Aqua - you can see why I didn't want to take a chance on Domania today. It needs every one of those backgrounds to open. :)

Thanks for the bump, Cal - see you later. ;)

What a lovely story! And what a beautiful, beautiful red-haired girl!!

[Billie]

Good morning, Freezie - I can't read all the 'fine print' on today's Calendar (can you?), and that's such a sweet little boy. :)

[lonestar]

Happy anniversery.

[Billie]

Good morning, lonestar - good morning, weinie. :)

(LOL -- I'm not sure if Tuesday's thread was a thread or a fire -- I was busy beating it with a broom a little Wednesday too. But it seems to be "out" finally. The book has been sent.)

I am SO partial to red-haired little girls, I think! When I was little my brown hair was very curly and had a reddish tint and I had lots and lots of freckles. I got VERY TIRED of adults commenting on my freckles. I didn't see the point of it. (Vermonters being Vermonters, they didn't say "Oh you're so cute with freckles"; they less effusively would say: "Wow, you have a lot of freckles!") Now I understand: I was cute as the dickens!

LOVE TO BURN

Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts.

A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start

You gotta take the first step

You gotta grow to be tall

And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.

You got love to burn.

You better take your chance on love.

You got to let your guard down

You better take a chance,

A chance on love.

Take chance on love

On love.

In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows

And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time

Why'd you ruin my life?

Where you takin' my kid?

And they hold each other saying: How did it come to this?

You got love to burn.

You better take your chance on love.

You got to let your guard down

You better take a chance,

A chance on love.

Take chance on love

On love.

Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts.

A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start

You gotta take the first step

You gotta grow to be tall

And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.

Chance, I recognize your name from your important work at initiating newsworthy posts here at Free Republic. You have lightening reflexes and are often first to let us know what's going on, and you rarely post repetitively.

So although I'm not sure we've chatted much, I do *often* recall your name associated with Poster No. 1 -- giving us the low-down. So I thank you much for that!

Mornin' Billie. Nice surprise today and appropriate graphics. Cool.

Congratulations, chance33_98 and LadyShallott. Happy Anniversary.

[LadyShallott]

Its nice to know we have friends like you to share this happy day with. :)
