Ah, ba ba ba ba barbara ann
Ba ba ba ba barbara ann

Oh Barbara Ann, take my hand
Barbara ann
You got me rockin and a-rollin
Rockin and a-reelin
Barbara Ann ba ba
Ba Barbara Ann

Remember this song from the Beach Boys? Well Barbara Ann is a real person, the wife of a music producer who the Beach Boys themselves credit for "discovering" them. Barbara Ann works with my dad at Macys. She is 85 and is retiring next week. We visited my dad today and she happened to be there working. Glad we were able to meet her and get a picture of her with Rielly.

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

~ Gordon B. Hinckley
