State Song ...

Rhode Island's It for Me

Written by Charlie Hall
Music by Maria Day

Arranged by Kathryn Chester

Chorus

I’ve been to every state we have,and I think I’m inclined to say that Rhody stole my heart:

You can keep the forty-nine.
Herring gulls that dot the sky,blue waves that paint the rocks,water rich with Neptune’s life, the boats that line the docks. I see the lighthouse flickering to help the sailors see. There’s a place for everyone: Rhode Island’s It for Me.

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island surrounded by the sea. Some people roam the earth for home; Rhode Island’s It for Me.

I love the fresh October days, the buzz on College Hill,art that moves an eye to tear,a jewelers special skill. Icicles refract the sun, snow falling gracefully. Some search for a place that’s warm: Rhode Island’s It for Me!

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island surrounded by the sea. Some people roam the earth for home; Rhode Island’s It for Me.

The skyline piercing Providence,the State House dome so rare. Residents who speak their minds; no longer unaware! Roger Williams would be proud to see his colony, so don’t sell short this precious port: Rhode Island’s It for Me!

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island surrounded by the sea. Some people roam the earth for home; Rhode Island’s It for Me.

Rhode Island, oh Rhode Island surrounded by the sea. Some people roam the earth for home;Rhode Island’s It for Me...

State Tree ... Red Maple

My 12 days of Christmas!!

A few years ago my husband met someone who told him how he does the 12 days of Christmas for his wife. Well my husband thought it was such a great idea he now does it every year for myself and 2 kids. He really takes such pride in this and puts a lot of effort into it. Always something we can use, something very practical or something that will make us laugh. I won't go into detail about some of the gifts he's gotten us over the years but I have to say it is quite funny to see him have to come up with 36 different gifts (you know 12 for each)!!

So here are my 12 days of Christmas gifts this year, and I'll keep adding as the days go by.
