Too Many Candles


Older Today

Birthday today, celebrated with some old friends and visited visited visited.  Enjoyed myself and packed all my troubles in my old kit bag and smiled smiled smiled.  Heard from many remote friends/relatives this week, makes me wish I was able to keep in touch better. 

Something about laughing and talking about old times was very relaxing.  Guess that makes me a geezer.  Just a good day.

  2. Thanks Steph! I like this version too! It's happy and light!

    I think it was originally written around WWI (the soldier's kit bag) and the original version has slang about smoking cigs, so this seems to be sanitized a bit for kids.

  3. It's probably good to keep having birthdays if it helps keep us in touch with those we don't see or hear from as much as we want. I hope you had a great birthday!

    I had a great birthday, but I wonder if I could just stop counting now and time will stop??? I don't want to go backwards because I definitely dont' want to repeat the last 10 years!!!
