    Seems to me I heard that expression when I was a child, so I doubt it’s a Dolly Parton original.

      That may be so, but it was her favorite saying for decades and truly defined who she was.

    Dolly so very much beloved. What a legacy she left for us too.
    Denise this morning I saw a video of the Buckingham guards/band playing the theme to
    9-5 movie in honor of Dolly. The palace was in the background...so very touching

    I always liked Dolly Parton. She has a collection of cute items in some stores, and I want to get something just to remember her by. Denise, I believe that when we see a rainbow it is a gift, so thank you for the rainbow on your blog post this afternoon. : )
