Nina had the most soulful face and loving chocolate 
brown eyes...she was well loved and she loved well

Thursday Theme Song: NORTH CAROLINA GIRLS

WE THANK HOOTIN ANNI FOR HOSTING

TODAY'S SONG IS
CAROLINA GIRLS,
BY GENERAL JOHNSON AND THE CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD
MOM CHANGED/ADDED WORDS IN RED

We invite you to click on the excellent video  to hear this great *beach song by General Johnson and The Chairmen of the Board.  Beach music also has its on very unique dance called
The Shag** a swing dance that originated in South Carolina in the 1940s and still is their state dance
*Beach music definition: Beach music is usually defined as brassy, easygoing pop-soul with a very sweet leading edge: the group Chairmen of the Board, famous for their genre-defining 1970 single "Give Me Just A Little More Time,"  and Carolina Girls are considered the kings of this style, with the Tams -- famous for 1963's "What Kind Of Fool (Do You Think I Am)" -- coming in a close second. 

  



(North) Carolina Girl  you are the best in the world
You're so fine girl, you are one of a kind sweet (North) Carolina
Girl

California girls are so sixties, New York girls are nifty
But (North) Carolina Girls got good looks and 
superior softness too

(North) Carolina Girls (Carolina Girls) Sweet Southern Pearls
You're so fine girl, you are one of a kind sweet (North) Carolina
Girl

You make me say Wooo (Carolina....Nothing finer) when you snuggle up close for a nap you are sweeter than candy hotter than heat

MEOW LIKE A PIRATE

OH TODAY IS GOING TO BE SUCH FUN,

IT IS MY FIRST EVER PAWTICIPATION IN 

Mom found a Pirate Dictionary on Google woohoo

We will attempt to meow like a Pirate 
English word has a strike through.  Pirate talk is in bold italics beside it.

ARRRRG are you  ready?

I gladly admit to looking like  a fool addlepate in this

mask but you know when we do something we go all out

Shiver me timbers Mom Cap'n my Cap'n

has turned into a gun packing woman Wench

 Yo-ho-ho seaman sea dogs there is  non-sailor landlubber 

right side starboard

 Never fear Wench Madi has them in her eyes deadlights

 Sink me! (expression of surprise)  Look at the loot swag we found while looking through our telescope spyglass

Good bye Fair winds!  Matey, Buckos, Me hearties  and Wenches (all pirate talk for crew)  

ARRRRG!

Grab a mug of Rum and be on ye way before me makes ye walk the gangplank.
