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.

Saturday 9
1) Which do you prefer: colored hard-boiled eggs, chocolate marshmallow eggs, or plastic eggs with coins inside? I'm my own girl, a rebel, a free thinker, so I'm going rogue and choosing a hollow chocolate bunny.
2) What's your favorite color of Peeps (yellow, purple, or pink)? Yellow chicks.
3) All this talk of sweets is making Sam hungry. What's for lunch? I don't know, but I suspect beef will be involved.
4) This song was introduced by country singer Gene Autry and it's still a favorite. Please share some of the lyrics. (And you're on your own; Sam didn't include a link to the song this week.) "Hippity hoppity Easter's on its way!"
5) Gene Autry was so popular that a town in Oklahoma named itself for him. Have you ever been to Oklahoma? Nope.
6) In addition to singing, Mr. Autry made 93 cowboy movies. What's the last movie you saw? Last Saturday I saw What's Up, Doc? with my classic movie group.
7) He and his horse Champion also had a TV show. Can you name another famous horse? The famous Mr. Ed
8) Gene Autry also recorded "Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer," and it was, of course, wildly popular, too. Who is your favorite recording artist? John, Paul, George and Ringo
9) Back to the holiday celebration at hand -- Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated? Washing my hair.
Washing your hair... lol :D Although it's true, and I agree! ;)
ReplyDeleteSomeone else washing my hair trumps washing it myself.
ReplyDeleteoh, the Beatles. Good group.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a chocolate bunny.
ReplyDeleteA hollow bunny? Hilarious!

Happy Easter Gal!
ReplyDeleteWe had Peeps at my book group gathering yesterday and everyone gobbled them down but me. :-) Especially my vegan friends.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with Mr. Ed! Happy Easter! I just got back from the hospital. He spoke with me about recognizing that he has delusions,but he can't tell reality from them. Have a great weekend...
ReplyDeleteI'm not even sure there are any other famous TV horses. Ed's the only one I could think of.
ReplyDeleteMr. Ed is on cable here from 5 to 6 with back to back shows. They bumped I Dream of Jeanie off that time slot.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Up Doc was one of my mum's favourite films. I think of her and school holidays every time I hear of it!
