Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals?
Oh congratulations...this is wonderful..

and here is a little song..sort of a sad last verse but the rest are happy...

Through oceans of distance my memory returns
To a youth spent with minkes and puffins and terns
I was born on this rock and cradled in ice
and the place that I come from is called Paradise

Paradise in the spring Paradise in the fall
at this time of my life it's the best place of all

and then I grew older from girl into maid
hurry up hurry up boys unless you're afraid
there was one I set eyes on one frosty cold night
and our first habitation was in Heart's Delight

Heart's Delight in the spring Heart's Delight in the fall
at this time of our life it's the best place of all

We knew pretty well what the future would bring
the flakes in the summer the floes in the spring
and the years rolled upon us and the years were well spent
and the place that we settled was called Heart's Content

Heart's COntent in the spring Heart's Content in the fall
at this time of my life it's the best place of all

For I was the bay girl and he the bay boy
and he filled my whole life with kinship and joy
and now he is gone and I'm burdened with care
and the place I am going is called Bay Despair
Bay Despair in the spring Bay Despair in the fall
at this time of my life it's the best place of all
