My mom loves to sing.
She sings while she does housework, she sings around the grandkids, and she sang when I was a kid just to annoy us - just kidding. She'd sing when the brothers and I were fighting (Love at Home), which only irritated me more than the boys already had, but I guess it did serve its purpose - we'd stop fighting.
One of the songs she enjoys singing is "A Bushel and a Peck". Up until yesterday, I'd never heard this song other than my mom singing it. (Apparently, it's a song from the musical Guys and Dolls. Who knew?) It's one of the songs in "Julie & Julia". It made me think of my cute mom. I started singing along - to annoy Michelle and everyone else sitting around me.
Just thought you'd like to enjoy this song, too. I found a video on YouTube. Here it is::
And mom, I love YOU a bushel and a peck and a barrel and a heap. You bet your pretty neck I do.

I love your Mom too!
I am smiling so big right now, because my mother sings this too. My daughter loves it. What a sweet song to have in your nogin and heart.
Cute video. Cute Mom. My Mom used to sing those old songs to us too.
Great post!
My Mom used to sing this song to me as well and now I sing it to my two year old daughter. The other Sunday at church we had a special lunch thing instead of a regular service and somehow my daughter got up on the stage and got a mic and started singing that song. Everyone laughed because I think they expected the preacher's daughter to sing something like "Jesus loves me" or whatever but No, it was "I love you....bushel and a peck". I can't wait to show her this clip tomorrow morning.
Awww that is so sweet!
I love your Momma too!!!!
A bushel, peck, barrel,& heap are measurements, but none can equal a Mothers heart, and how much love is in it for her children !!!
YASL by this mothers heart, The Mom
