I got into the car to drive to my morning Bible Study, and Notes From Above was playing on the Ave Maria Radio station. They said the upcoming song to be played was “I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time”, an oldie I recalled with no particular fondness. But then they said that the song had been released by the Andrews Sisters on December 7, 1941. For any young readers, that is D-Day, the attack on Pearl Harbor Day, the start of World War II for our country. Then they played the song, and the words brought me to tears. I could imagine all the young women listening who, like my mother, saw their men going off to war, maybe to never come home again. My mom was pregnant then, and my dad didn’t see his daughter until she was 3 years old. The radio show hosts said that song was Number 1 on the Hit Parade for two years straight!! I had never heard that fact before, but anyone listening to the words would totally understood why.
The show hosts said that song and other memorable hits, like Daddy’s Little Girl and Til We Meet Again were from an album called: Famous Hits of World War II. When I got back home I went online and ordered that CD, the last new one available on Amazon. And, no, I don’t believe in coincidences.

And also today, BOING, my neighbor, BOING BOING, put up a new, BOING BOING BOING, basketball net for, BOING BOING, his two young boys. BOING BOING BOING. I was happy to see BOING BOING (and hear) him playing with them, BOING BOING, this morning, BOING BOING BOING, this afternoon, BOING BOING, and this evening. But I wonder if, with all that dribbling, when he’ll get around to teaching them to shoot that ball.
