"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Singing with Dad: Way down upon the sea how happy we will be alone by the shore of the silvery moonlight, my honey I know... Although we're apart we're part of my heart so tonight, you'll belong to me...just to little old me.
"I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly"

Singing with Mom: I want some red roses for a blue lady. Mr. Florist take my order please. We had a silly quarrel the other day. I only want to take these silly blues away. I want some red roses for a blue lady. Send them to the sweetest girl in town. And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick...your best white orchid for her wedding gown.
