Julie Andrews Turned 69

To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music". Here are the lyrics she used:

(Sing It!) - If you sing it, it is especially hysterical!!!

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts , hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.

Northern Trust Open, Los Angeles, CA



We just returned from L.A. We had fun visiting Brian, Chandra and their children. We love attending Brian's church. We then spent the week dry camping at the V.A. Medical Center parking lot, and riding a shuttle to the Riviera Country Club every day to work concessions. We each had a stand like the one in the picture. We enjoy working for Hole in One Sports Catering, and we enjoy meeting new people.

We're Hitting the Road Again




In January, we met cousins Shirley and Jack Parkes in Laughlin, Nevada for New Years. They got us in with Hole in One Catering, and so we met them in mid January for the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Now, we are leaving again this week to visit Brian and Chandra in Valencia, California. We will go from there to the L.A. PGA Open to again work for Hole in One.

We Have Good News!

Guess Who is having a baby?
Baby Daligou is due August 14. Of course, we will be there for the birth of our 7th grandchild...
