Thanks so much, Suzanne...for trying to vote for my husband's song!! It's a really non-user-friendly process they've used for the rating...you actually have to be LOGGED IN to Youtube to see the star rating scale, and that's when you can rate the song. He is Entry #5 for the Kind of Floors Hockey Son....

Thanks so much!

I love the pictures of the beach. It is my favorite place in the world, we are leaving for a beach vacation next week. It is a week in heaven for me after a long winter in the midwest.

So happy to have found your blog, it's lovely .
