as I was trudging along today

I saw a walnut shell in the gutterit reminded me of those little boats you make when you're a child to race across the bird bath when the ice has melted (remember being able to lift off a whole piece of ice without it breaking?) for some reason, this made me look up - there was a clear blue sky above me! and then a song started spinning around in my head

(-:

I saw three ships come sailing in, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in, on Christmas Day in the morning. . .And what was in those ships all three? On Christmas Day. . .
Our Saviour Christ and his lady, on Christmas Day. . .
Pray whither sailed those ships all three? On Christmas Day. . .
Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem, on Christmas Day. . .
And all the bells on earth shall ring, on Christmas Day. . .
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing, on Christmas Day. . .
And all the souls on earth shall sing, on Christmas Day. . .
Then let us all rejoice, amen, on Christmas Day. . .

for your listening pleasure, your choice of
NAT KING COLE or STING
or TRADITIONAL CHOIRBOYS!!

I hope something made you* smile unexpectedly today!

Actually, several--but cuz the crabby reading fairies started out multi-tasking, I figured that'd happen. LOL

I just got off the phone with a gal I'd not talked to for years--and it was really cool.
And then I landed here to read and I saw the ships--gosh, we had some that hung on the tree as a wee thing. Thinkin' the siblings made 'em--and some had babies in 'em.

And yes! I remember lifting off that ice and hoping it wouldn't break. (I was pretty darn good at it, too!)

And a good morning to you, ma'am. It's one of those where, even if you tried to pull the ice from the birdbath the whole darn thing would come with it.

And it ain't even winter yet....eeeeeeshhhh....

Well this made me smile tho not unexpectedly, just with pleasure.
The little walnut boats remind me of some precious but buried memory and it was just very nice. Thank you :)
