Good morning everyone! My power is back and I am almost caught up with all the stuff of life you can't usually take care of when there is no power. So in honor of a Monday, here's a lovely little song for you that came on yesterday while I was making banana chocolate chip bread for breakfast (recipe to come in the next day or two). Have a lovely day!

Now if only I could figure out a way to heat some tea without power. 

Like a shot of orange juice!

I think that the Beach Boys are quite possibly the closest music has ever come to creating orange juice in music. Their effervescence is at a high even when singing about how someone broke their hearts. So here are my top five all-time favorite Beach Boys songs!
