Then I drove by the Lang's. I knew Josephine and her brothers had sold it, so it's under renovation. Each one of them got more than a million dollars. The house has a boat dock for paddle boats, ( great stories from the 4th of July parties), Toluca Lake Country Club has great 4th of July firework displays. Somewhere I have pictures of the Fiddle Festival parties, I took my daughter to one of the last ones at the house. The writer from the Beverly Hillbillies lived next store, and Josephine was the basis for the character Ellie May (Sp?)

I have been a pefect vegetable today. I haven't even taken a shower yet. Which has probably kept anyone from knocking on the door.

I think the most interesting of the featurettes was on the 14 different vintage cars that are used in the movie. I'm about as ignorant as a person can be about car makes and models, but even I appreciated the beauty and appropriateness of these cars as part of the world of these eccentric characters.

I'd be willing to wager that I am more ignorant than you in regards to cars. . .

Ham and flowers! My favorite dish!

I always loved Easter dinner. I wasn't crazy about ham, but I knew that leftover ham meant my mom's casserole of ham and scalloped potatoes would be on the menu, at least, once in the next week.

I want to hear all comments about Two For The Seesaw and see if anyone else becomes as addicted as I.

I've been watching a motion picture, organizing, and even shipped five packages and picked up a few packages for ME. Now I'm going out to Mystery and Imagination Books to say hello.

How very sad! The Amazon.com listing for the DVD of the 1950 film of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN lists the following cast:

Edward Arnold
Evelyn Beresford
Eleanora Brown
Louis Calhern
Sue Casey

Ahh, didn't they forget just a couple of other actors?

This is not a bet you should consider taking. My college roommate used to quiz me on car makes and models, and I couldn't even name what make and model MY car was. I'd have to check my registration card to be sure.

Truly sad when these sites list the cast by alphabetical cast listings rather than by importance of the roles. Makes them look like real idiots.

No, I think that about does it. It isn't widely known but they put the leads in using a primitive form of Photoshop!

I guess I'll head down now and finish the SIN CITY bonus features before I start on the film. And which version of the film do I want to watch tonight? The theatrical version or the recut director's version (that's 20 minutes longer)? Decisions, decisions....

Trader Joe's was also busy, I can't go to Tom's for dinner without bringing him a bottle of their citrus vodka. And I found some roses that still have scent (almost all flowers have no smell at all anymore) so I treated myself to roses.

DR Sam - Amy Stewart's book, Flower Confidential, explains why flowers have lost their scent and anything else you'd ever care to know about the cut flower industry.

Apparently, whatever they have to do to extend shelf life for shipping extinguishes the fragrance. She recommends buying seasonal, locally-grown flowers. The daffodils that I just cut from our yard and put in a vase on the piano have a very nice aroma.

How about some hotly debated issues? I'll start.

I can't prove it, but I always suspected that Noel Coward was a queer!

Anyone?

Sadly, this area's Daffodil Grand Parade has been pushed farther and farther into the Spring to try to avoid rain showers. As a result, in order to keep the flowers around for the floats, they have to put them in cold storage. As a reult, a lot less aroma.

Speaking of Noel Coward reminds me of Ten Chimneys, the Wisconsin home of Alfred Lunt and Lyn Fontanne. Richard and I are planning to visit there next month, after 2 days of alumni/graduation festivities at Nashotah House. Apparently, Coward was a frequent visitor when the Lunts lived there.

They say that about everyone these days. Nah, I don't think so.

We have 3 clumps of daffodils and one of them got frostbit this year. I wasn't even sure I'd be able to get a bouquet together - it's smaller than usual, but festive nonetheless.

Ginny, the nice thing about daffodils is that even one is festive!
