A verse from Rogers and Hammerstein
The King and I
The King and I
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

a great post to link your favourite songs. This week she is featuring Michael Buble
with "Haven't Met You Yet". Natasha has a wonderful blog with lots of surprises.
I could spend hours looking thru it all. Be sure to check it out :)
Sandy aka Doris the Great @ Aging Disgracefully has blue eyes and her favourite
season is Spring. She wears L'Air d'Temps, is reading Fugitive Peace by Anne Michaels,
recently watched the movie, Barney's Version and enjoys her daughter's music on My Space.
My take on Sandy is that she is a woman who enjoys life to the fullest!
Meredith @ Count it all Joy has hazel eyes, her favourite season is Spring and also likes
perfume by Jo Malone's Lime, Basil and Mandarin as well as Lola by Marc Jacobs.
She is reading Deep France by Celia Brayfield, watched The Green Hornet with her kids
and is listening to Back it Up by Caro Emerald. Meredy and I go back to the beginning
of my blogging experience. She is a wonderful woman, with six beautiful children and a
loving husband. She is super talented and shares it all with us. Today she is sharing
Ilse @ Insh'allah has blue-green eyes and favours Autumn and Spring. She selects perfume
depending on her mood and at the moment is enjoying Femme by Hugo Boss. Her latest read
is In the Company of a Courtesan by Sarah Dunant. Her last movie was The King's Speech
and she is listening to Life for Rent by Dido. Ilse is a new blogger. She is an African born Kiwi
from Australia living in the Kingdom of Bahrain. I always have to read and say that slowly as I find
it so amazing! Ilse and I share a passion for photography. She has a wonderful eye for it. Ilse's
precarious at the moment. I am sure she would love to hear from fellow bloggers.
Itztru loves to follow blogs and I have been lucky to have her following mine. She lives in
Vermont (home of the Trapp family) and says that yes, the hills are alive! Itztru has blue/green eyes
with flecks of brown and loves Autumn. She is reading Plant Dreaming Deep by May Sarton
and Jud Hale'e Inside New England. She last watched The King's Speech and is
listening to Nick Drake and Sam Bush. Thank you for following me Itztru!
