Music Monday : Don't cry, Joni

I heard this song back then but have forgotten the lyrics as time passed. The memory went back yesterday while having a karaoke time with my magic mic. The magic mic comes with over 2 thousand songs and Don't cry, Joni is one. I sang it a couple of times. Poor mic!!! If only that thing could talk, it could have fussed at me to stop repeating the song.

Hmn...humming to song while writing this post.


    Don't cry, Joni by Conway Twitty
      Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up someday you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true. Man - Joni was the girl who lived next door I've known her I guess ten years or more. Joni wrote me a note one day. And this is what she had to say. Woman-Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up someday you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true. Man- Slowly I read her note once more Then I went over to the house next door Her tear-drops fell like rain that day When I told Joni what I had to say. Man- Joni, Joni please don't cry You'll forget me by and by You're just fifteen and I'm twenty two, and Joni I just can’t wait for you. Man - Soon I left our little home town, Got me a job and tried to settle down But these words kept haunting my memory, the words that Joni said to me. Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up some day you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true. Man - I packed my clothes and I caught a plane and I had to see Joni. I had to explain, how my heart was filled with her memory and ask my Joni if she'd marry me I ran all the way to the house next door but things weren't like they were before My tear-drops fell like rain that day When I heard what Joni had to say. Woman- Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry You'll forget me by and by. It's been five years since you've been gone Jimmy, I - (married) - your best friend John.

Her 4th trip to Brec's Baton Rouge Zoo

Image
A rotating globe fountain awaits guests few meters away from the main entrance. The lil one was talking to one of the many tigers in the zoo.  One of the biggest fish aquariums in the zoo.  @ the zoo's playground.  The best amongst the activities in the zoo, the train ride.  Had trouble with the lil one when the train stopped.  She didn't want to go home yet and just wanna have a ride again. Taking picture before the train ride. Fell asleep on the way home. Exhausted she is!

Ranks, money, trip and more

Been waiting for SS to update my ranks for quite a while now. I already sent a ticket few weeks ago. Customer love said it's gonna take a week for my account to be updated. So alright, it's been almost three weeks and still have the same status -- NOT RANKED! I wonder what's with SS lately why it's taking a century to respond? I am just in a hurry to earn. THe more money I make, the more amount to spend in the Philippines. The trip is forthcoming. Two more months and I'm in the plane with hubby and the 'lil lady. Hubby doesn't have that huge budget for the trip. Just imagine how much it cost if three people are traveling. Well I guess it's better to say two adults with a 19 mos. old infant. To sum the tickets plus taxes, hubby paid around $2600. Too bad coz after a week, I saw a cheaper price online. He could have saved $300 if he waited. On the contrary, purchasing tickets online can't be pushed through. Hubby's bank has a limit of $1500 on

Hubby's new hobby

Image
This is one of hubby's output last night. He's been playing with photos, customizing 'em into different scenarios and themes. The backgrounds are available, he just pasted a photo or two then customized it to his desired location and all to fit into the space. I forgot the website, though. Being a computer buff and watching sports on TV are hubby's tiny flaws, minor flaws that ain't causing a fire between us. When he's not working or doing yard work, his butt is stuck on his computer chair, browsing websites that sell knives. So now that he's into this fun photo customization, it doesn't affect me. It is better this way than spend his time in night bars and drink and smoke. Back to the picture, that's exactly the role of the 'lil one. Ain't no telling but she is the boss. One day, she'll be kicking me off this house lol. Of course, I am not allowing her to be that disobedient and disrespectful when she gets older. Discipline and prayers a
