I Never Promised You a Rose Garden"... Anyone know the artist who sang this famous country crossover mega hit of 1970? I'll give you a little hint. She also sang "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." No? Nothing yet? How about... She was a regular performer on The Lawrence Welk Show starting in 1967... Got it?
I certainly didn't have a clue. But, this tune popped into my mind this afternoon as I passed through Prague Castle's rose garden. So when I got home and was uploading my photos, I found the tune on Grooveshark and came to find out it was Lynn Anderson (thanks Wikipedia).
My Grandpa Wyszkowski always used to tell me to take time out to smell the roses. Well, Grandpa, I smelled a whole bunch today. Their perfumes were varied and simply glorious. And, yes, Grandpa was right. It's a practice we all should take to heart.
I don't know about you but I firmly believe that the weekend is too short. I need three days ...yeah, which brings to mind another classic tune... this one by the Beach Boys.... "Wouldn't it be nice..."
