Sung to the tune of America the Beautiful
For cheddar cheese, for hairdryers
For beautiful clean clothes,
For gro-cer-y stores, oh so big
and triple shot la-ttes!
America, America
How much I do miss thee!
But very soon,
I’ll come home to you
Across the shining sea!

Hi MEL – LOVE your version of “America the Beautiful.” Funny, touching, and sounds so much like the lovely young lady we’ve all been missing for almost 2 years now. Sorry to tell you that Bahmas has closed, so we’ll find another place to get you that triple shot latte! We have four puppies in our club now (2 are babies), and they’re waiting to meet you…..

Barbara!
So sad that Bahmas is closed, but I am sure we can find a place to get my fix. My Mom has told me about the new puppies and I can’t wait to meet them–although they will be much bigger by the time I get home. Mid-November is my estimated arrival date, I can’t wait to catch up!
