Thursday Night Song (revampted)

I have a girl-friend I have stayed in close contact with for 30+ years. I went to her 16th birthday party and we've been buds ever since. I'll tell you, she is a gem, a real treasure. She lives in central Washington and we both wish we could live in the same town again. But we don't, so we have shared our friendship over the years mostly through phone calls, holiday cards and e-mails. Most recently however, we have set up a blog (she is the designer, I just post) that celebrates our friendship over the years. We named it "Old Friends Grown Here" It has been a blast and a new way to shorten the distance between our families. This video is on our blog but I wanted to post it here because It was so much fun recording it with Weston, I wanted it on our family site as well.

Anyway, this song is a silly song my friend and I put together when we were 18 and were bored on a Thursday night. We had baked some cookies, recorded this song and taken it to a few sisters in our ward we thought could use some cheering up. We put the cookies on the doorstep with the tape recorder and a sign that said "push play" knocked and then hid. It was great fun. It was great fun hanging with Weston when we recorded too. You should have seen the out takes!
