These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

ReplyDeleteOh, I loved Gidget. That was a great show. Thanks for reminding me, I'd totally forgotten about it. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, yes....Sally Field was adorable, and still is very cute in her 'golden years'.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday meme is now posted, won't you join me? Happy stealing!
Gidget in all of her incarnations, was one of my favorite TV/film characters. I lived for the Gidget movies.
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you a fun-filled Sunday!
I also wish I had that book! I've never seen it. Have a good Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteI think Mary Poppins was my first film, too.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Bobby Sherman! Wonder if he's bald and fat right now....
ReplyDeleteSally Field? You liked her. You really, really like her! She was fun in Gidget. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Gidget and then there was The Flying Nun. I also liked Lost In Space and Little House On The Prairie. Life was pretty simple during those times, eh?
