When nothing else seems to capture the interest of my mom or her fellow residents, I break out in joyful singing.\u00a0 Even the men join in when I sing one they know.\u00a0 With the help of a smartphone, the choices are endless, especially if there are requests.<\/p>\n
The favorites are as follows:<\/p>\n
“I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”<\/p>\n
“She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain”<\/p>\n
“Yankee Doodle”<\/p>\n
“Dixie Land”<\/p>\n
“This Land is Your Land”<\/p>\n
“Bicycle Built For Two”<\/p>\n
“You Are My Sunshine”<\/p>\n
“Star Spangled Banner”<\/p>\n
“God Bless America”<\/p>\n
“America”<\/p>\n
“Grand Old Flag”<\/p>\n
“Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory”<\/p>\n
“Taps”<\/p>\n
To add to the enjoyment of this activity, we often are sitting around a round table and roll a ball back and forth between us while we sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
