Dream Big

Our daughter-in-law, Vicki, and our son, Matthew, just had a beautiful baby girl, Cady Dale. We are proud of them--thankful for a grand-daughter--and wish them the very, very best.


I found this poem which expresses a value in a life lived to help others.

It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts,
but how much you give to others.

It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference,
but how high your faith can climb.

It's not how many goals you reach,
but how many lives you touch.

It's not who you know that matters,
but who you are inside.

Believe in the impossible,
hold tight to the incredible,
and live each day to its fullest potential.

You can make a difference in your world.

I would like to dedicate this music video to Cady. It reminds me of an age of innocence.

The song, Tonight You Belong to Me, was written in 1926 by Billy Rose, and recorded with its entire lyrics by Gene Austin the following year.

Today's popular shortened version was subsequently released 1956 by Patience (14 years old) and Prudence (11). It was also recorded by the Lennon Sisters of Lawrence Welk fame--Dianne, Peggy, Kathy & Janet.

The melody was also performed by Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters in the 1979 movie, The Jerk, with Martin playing the ukulele and Peters playing the cornet in a romantic & humorous scene.

I came across a wonderful home-recorded version performed by a couple from Salt Lake City: Kimball Hannan and Angela Wunderli. Angela has been a performing artist for LDS Music World.

This video definitely reminds of an age of innocence. Enjoy!
