I assume the world knows the old Polka, "In Heaven There is No Beer", right? Here is a link, in case you don't. Oh gosh, when I searched You Tube for a video of this song....well, let's just say, there were many that weren't very good!!
Anyway, Friday, when the little girls and I went up to the farm, I had to bring home a few treasures! Look at those wonderful rusty barrel rings!! No, I have no idea what I'll do with them, I'm open to suggestions!
They (along with a few other rusty pieces) were still in the back of the suburban when we were loading the car to leave for a family visit on Sunday. My 14 year old daughter was surprised to see this "junk" in the back. She and I bantered back and forth a bit debating whether my love for rust graces or dis-graces our family, ha!! It was pretty fun and then she asked, "Well, Mom, do you think there's rust in Heaven???" Hmmmm. "I suppose not." "That's why I better collect it here!" Which then led to me breaking out in song....(which I can completely attest would have brought "dis-grace" to anyone listening). My husband even helped me with the words!
So here you go, sung to the tune of "In Heaven There is No Beer":
Now, will this song (either version) be stuck in your head all day?! I'm sorry!

You could start a fence like this one :) http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/digital_derf/5119187424/
ReplyDeleteThat is a COOOOOOL fence!!
DeleteHanging a collection of these on an outside wooden wall might make an interesting textured display.
ReplyDeleteRust is the best.
ReplyDeletehahahahaha! Never heard that song before - I really like your adaptation! Idea - place the rings on a path and fill them with cement - with little goodies embedded - or words written before they harden. It's me - maryruth!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of these rings...I've hung them at times in my dining room and then put a framed picture inside...or some other interesting object...like an old clock face...I love them!
ReplyDeleteYou really put a smile on my face with this one...
ReplyDeleteI too find rusty bits irresistible and often think that my father would cringe as he spend so much of his life making sure things not rust ;)
These sure ARE some fabulous rusty rings now in a very good home!
