The Froggy
by PamFord Davis Are you a collector? It is amazing to learn the many different items that people search out at yard and estate sales, thrift stores and antique malls, not to mention internet sites! I collect tea pots, oldies- but- goodies music, and church hymnals. Many people in recent years grew a strong attachment to frogs. Strange, isn't it? Something that God once sent as a plague on Egypt now fills our homes! Frogs are everywhere, on clothes, jewelry, calendars, coffee mugs, greeting cards, knick-knacks, and toys. Maybe Kermit the frog started this trend! My older sister, Donna found much enjoyment in frogs and our family steadily added to her collection. I remember her excitement and laughter showing me a musical frog from our younger sister! In elementary school we had music class; and some of those early sing along tunes are still etched in my memory. A favorite selection was "A Froggy Went A Court'n." It is a pretty silly song, not much we need to know about that! A few years ago I found an old cassette tape on sale by Tex Ritter. To my amazement and glee it included "A Froggy Went A Court'n!" Yes, it is in my music collection and "High Noon" is also on the tape. I guess we don't have to be too concerned about collecting frogs, unless we feel tempted to kiss them, in hopes of finding our prince!
