"A" My Name Is Alice

Marie Osmond ~ A My Name Is Alice
A my name is Alice and my boyfriend's name is Andy,
We come from Alabama and we like apples.
A my name is Alice and I want to play the game of loooooove!

When I was a little girl my Daddy laid down on the floor with me and my orange 45 record player with the plug in microphone and crooned Donny and Marie Osmond songs until we were hoarse.  The above lyrics were my all time fave that we would sing together.  Never mind how the words might be the dumbest I have ever heard!  








My first concert was The Osmonds at The Omni...too bad I had to be taken out because it hurt my ears.  I made up for it a few decades later when I dragged my friend Brooke to see them in the flesh in Vegas!    







My family has never had any musical talent!  It never stopped us from using music in any form and fashion to have fun.  My next musical memory was my Dad laying down and holding me up with his feet while I held my arms out as he sang to me...."There she goes flying with ease, there goes my girl on the flying trapeze."  If we did it once, we did it a hundred times.  I could never get enough of it and he never seemed to tire of making me smile and laugh.  


Perhaps one day I'll share with you what Sweetie drinks are and how they are made and my nicknames, Do-bay and Sally Ann.  


In the meantime, Monday, November 29th, a man with one of the biggest hearts I know will be having his heart operated on - my Daddy!  Please kneel down every night and pray for his heart to be renewed.  He has a lot of love left to give.    




39 years with my Dad have been "The Best Days of My Life ."  I sure do love you Dad!
