President Monson's Biography

To the Rescue: The Biography of Thomas S. Monson by Heidi S. Swinton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Throughout the years, I have greatly enjoyed the addresses that I have heard from President Monson. However, reading this book brought to me new insights into the spirituality of this great leader. It astounds me what he is able to do. President Monson embodies President Kimball's "Lengthen your stride; quicken your pace." For anyone that believes that President Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God, this is a must read.

Childhood Songs

PLAYING HORSIE
I came across the original lyrics for "Playing Horsie." The song is actually titled "I Faw Down An' Go Boom." Here are some sites that are interesting about it. This site has lyrics, and here is a YouTube video of an old recording.

CHIEF BUCKABOO
Chief Buckaboo (as Mom remembers it, although it is really called Chief Bugaboo) was really called Indianola. You can find the lyrics here.

OH PLAYMATE, COME OUT AND PLAY WITH ME
Mom mentioned another song she can remember Grandma Gilbert singing: "Oh Playmate, Come Out and Play With Me." I found these websites: This one has music and lyrics while this one has lyrics.
