Cygnus MacLlyr said...: Hello and Welcome, Babyrocasmama! I absolutely love Bee and Rose's.. always relevant! And glad to have ANY from her site pay My Song a visit.
You'd be simply amazed at how close to My blogger (last) name my Family Name is...
In fact, I may re-post a very old writ about the Swan sobriquet anyhow... maybe time to update and include the surname...
Thanks for the visit and for taking the time to leave a comment! Hope to see you visit again!; March 11, 2009 at 11:08 PM
