All the Way

Blood Orange Valentine, 2015

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you
All the way

Apparently, when I was two years old, I liked to sing this Frank Sinatra song in the car, especially belting out the line All the way. I'm not sure if I actually remember singing it, the three lines above do feel familiar, or if it's just the story of my singing that I recall.

I still feel the same way about that line. The All the way part of love, it is very important.

  3. I love that song. And I really love - and loved - to sing big ballads loud. And now I feel that I need to sing it out loud - (and as I can't remember much more I will require someone to love me all the way just to cope ;)

    1. If we are loved all the way, it must include everything, even our singing. My poor husband...

    1. I have some Moro blood oranges now and they are the deepest darkest blood oranges I've ever seen. Very cool.

  5. 'Blood Orange Valentine' - I love that caption. Even better out of context.
    It's always all the way or no way, isn't it?

  7. We sometimes fall into inconsistency or get fickle, but should recall "all the way" for something important. Thanks for your words.

  8. So funny. I'd crack up to hear a two-year-old sing Sinatra. It's a good sentiment, though, and those orange slices are making my mouth water. Blood orange?

  9. Yes. So true, Denise. I thought the blood oranges looked like gummy worms the first time I saw them. See what I mean?

    1. I've eaten gummy bears, but never worms, but I looked up a photo of gummy worms and yes, I totally see what you mean.

    1. I did eat it, but only after admiring it for a generous amount of time. ;)
