TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS (with me)

All beautiful, but none alike."

Hi, Joey;
Tried to get the video thingy to work but no luck. Still liking the idea of tippy toeing through some tulips with you, though. Especially since mine are buried in the snow! :(

Oh noooo! This was going to be the title to my next blog entry! I've had the song in my head all week.

Ok, I'm over it.

Querida Joey, I hope the Easter Bunny will bring you as much joy as you bring to others, via your wonderful photos, poetry and quotes.

Btw, the video won't load, due to some copyright gobbledygook.

Bummer. The video didn't work!

Funny litte coincidence though, this song was used in a movie we saw on Saturday called Insidious and now my daughters are scared whenever they hear it.
I remember and love the tulips from Holland Michigan.

Tip toeing through tulips with you sounds like great fun.
