My Ragamuffin

I love my ragamuffin
She is so dear to me
But how she gets so dirty
Is such a mystery

She goes to bed so splendid
but wakes up such a fright
How does she get so dirty?
In the middle of the night

And when we go out in public
She always looks so wild
You can see the people thinking
Why won't she wash that child

But I love my ragamuffin
She is so dear to me
How I got such a blessing
Is such a mystery

      It's because my membership lapsed, I've now renewed it but sadly the photo is still not there, and since my computer totally shat itself last week, the photo is gone forever! It's really sad, the only hope i have is that Mark may have saved it onto his computer, I'll ask him.

    Love the pic. She's adorable! She even has a mischievious "I didn't do it" look in the photo. lol She's a ringer for you, too. Anyone would know she's your daughter.

      Yeah, I would never say I have a fave out of my kids, you never do, but there's always one you have an affinity with. She's a free spirit, just like me, but its my other daughter who got my mad sense of humor!!

    Bethannie sounds like a real cutie. My mom used to compare me to "Pig Pen" from the Peanuts comics when I was a kid, too. It was probably because my favorite thing to do was building prehistoric villages in the dirt, complete with rivers (fed by the hose), volcanoes, mountains with caves dug through them, etc. Oh, and tree climbing, of course. How Bethannie gets dirty while sleeping is quite a mystery, though. Are you sure she's not climbing out of the window at night and having Tom Sawyer-ish adventures with a Huckleberry Finn-ishfriend?
