We finally completed this tag!

Hello, hello! We’re quick squeezing in a tag here before the year is out! Chalice@LionheartedArt tagged us for this one…..2 years ago?????

WE’RE SO SORRY, CHALICE!!!!!!!!

Apparently, Chalice stole it from this gal who got it from this gal so to whoever came up with The Thirty Song Tag, thanks!

Let’s dive in shall we?

Your Favorite Song

Katherine
The Pasta Song From The Love Story Musical
(Grace found this one [she always finds the best songs] and I just adore it; it’s the perfect cooking themed song! And as you’ll see as this post progresses, I just love songs that involve food! Be forewarned, the musical as a whole is not as clean as this selection)

Grace
Sun Is Gonna Shine from the Bright Star Musical
(Technically, I don’t have a favorite song, but this one’s been speaking to me lately ;))

Your Least Favorite Song

A Song That Reminds You Of Someplace

Katherine
Gentle Dawn – Montgomerey Smith
(When I was growing up in PA, we had a chimney fire and it’s repairs required us to live elsewhere while the work was being done. Our wonderful next door neighbor, Mrs. Hagen (she always wanted us to call her Auntie Jan), graciously opened her home to us! Anyway, she had a cd player in her kitchen where we cooked and my sister, Jane, would often play this cd while she was cooking dinner…..and it always made me feel sad :) It was a pretty relaxation cd, but I just thought it sounded sad! 🙂 🙂

Grace
Steal Our Moments by Hadley Fraser & Ramin Karimloo
