Stole My heart Lyrics

Once upon a time
I saw you walk along
A moonbeam; what a lovely girl.
I followed you around the world.

I love you, don't you see,
You stole my heart in 1-2-3
I love you, yes it's true
You stole my heart
and I'm gonna steal yours too.




Fly me away Lyrics

Silver Moons and paper chains,
Faded maps and shiny things.
You're my favorite one-man show.
A million different ways to go.

Will you fly me away?
Take me away with you,
My love.

Let it Snow!

Isn't it crazy that it snowed yesterday in our little village? It snows many days in Chicago during the winter months, but Sevilla hasn't had a snowfall in many decades!

Do you know how precipitation turns into snow? Do you know other terms for winter weather? Click on this interesting website for the answers! Or, watch here for a video.

What did you do on the snowy day? I was in bed sleeping until a friend called to tell me. But, being from Chicago, I was not intersted in seeing snow and went back to sleep!

Here are some interesting photos of the snowfall in Chicago.
