Today’s Photo-a-day with ChristyT

July 12^th

Word: Soft

My old, frayed quilt remnant is perfect for “soft.” It’s soft in the way memories are soft, worn, loved, and still warm around the edges.

“Soft as time itself are the frayed edge of a quilt that’s been loved right down to its memories.”

Until Next Time

Saturday 9 & Photo-a-day

 Saturday 9: 

There'll Be Some Changes Made (1962)

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday.

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it 

HERE.

1) In this song, Ann-Margret sings that she's going to change her way of living. If you could simply snap your fingers and change something in your life, what would it be?

Good health for Mr D and me.

2) She tells us she's going to change her name. Have you ever changed your name, or asked people to refer to you differently? (Example: "Don't call me Betty anymore. I want to be Elizabeth.")

When I married, and so many people call me 'Mary Jane' - family call me 'Mary.'

3) Ann-Margret was born Ann-Margret Olsson in Sweden and when was 5, her family moved to Winnetka, Illinois. She is fluent in both Swedish and English. When did you last converse in a language other than English?

Never, I can't speak any other language.

4) Olivia Newton-John was a big Ann-Margret fan. When she was cast in the movie Grease, Olivia asked that her character's name be changed from "Sandy Dumbrowski" to "Sandy Olsson" in tribute. Grease is one of the most profitable movies ever made. Have you seen it more than once?

Yes

5) Ann-Margret celebrated her 85th birthday earlier this year. Back in 2024, Ann-Margret told a reporter that she planned to celebrate her 83rd birthday with a spin on her motorcycle, a lavender Harley-Davidson. "I love speed," she explained. Do you always observe the speed limit? Or have you been known to zip along a little faster?

Yes, I try to always play by the rules, whatever I'm doing. There may have been a few times in my youth when my foot got heavy, but not often.  

6) This week's song was written in 1921 and over the last 100+ years it's been recorded more than 400 times. Before today, had you heard it?

Yes!

7) The lyrics were written by William Weldon Higgins, who was better known as vaudeville comic Billy Higgins. When did you most recently laugh out loud?

This morning! Some of the contestants on The Price is Right make me laugh - crazy people. 😃

8) The music was composed by William Overstreet. In addition to writing music, he was a respected director at Chicago's Grand Theater. When did you last see a live performance (concert, play, etc.)?

I'm trying to remember; it was before 2018 and after 2015 that I went to see The Gaither's in concert at First Baptist Church in Pasadena. I went with my dear friend Zephra, aka Sister Zee.

My dear GLOW sisters, Sandy, Linda, Sister Zee and Pat.

(God Loves Older Women)

9) Random question: Do you have more or less than $20 cash in your wallet right now?

Because I don't get out anymore I don't need cash in my pocket. Mr D carries our cash.

Thank You

Today's word: fruit/vegetable

A few years ago, I planted a pepper plant in a pretty pot on the porch.

This was the first of my small harvest.

I didn't know if peppers were considered a vegetable, so I went to my new friend AI and ask.  This is what it said:

Banana peppers are botanically fruits but are commonly treated as vegetables in cooking.

Until Next Time
