Just read that Doris Day died at 97.

That shouldn't be a shock, but it is, and a sad one. Achieving 97 is wonderful, and she had the most amazing life. Still, it always seemed she was exempt and would be with us forever.

Loved her clean, clear way with a lyric. Add that husky edge and a song like It’s Magic was truly magical.

I always thought it was interesting that Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, and The McGuire Sisters all took singing lessons from Grace Raine in Cincinnati.

And all of them could handle a lyric with the respect it deserves.

And the word of the day is: JOMO!


Wasn’t Uncle JOMO what Jose’s nephews called him?

I knew that DR Elmore was in for several days of HELL, and it sounds like it's proceeding according to plan.  :)

Vibes for as smooth and quick a transition as the fates will allow!

Yes, and I completely forgot to comment on that last night.

Incredible. Not to mention the fact that that's standard behavior for them!?

Same. Although I was curious if the food was actually worthy of being returned.  I don't normally return things to the kitchen (although I don't usually have anything that was bad enough to be returned). The only exception is if the meat I've ordered is way underdone (has I hate rare meat).

DR Jane I did not receive anything in the mail yet. But we don't get mail on the weekends.  I will definitely check my mailbox today or tomorrow (we have boxes a street away).

I’d like to think the interview went well. 50+ minutes instead of the 30 scheduled.

I hope it is there.  I feared three bookmarks were too many to send in an envelope, especially as one was wood.

After taking a decent sized spider out this morning I said to Keith at least it wasn't a possum.  We then opened HHW on his computer so he could read DR George's saga.

Keith kept groaning at all of my mistakes in my posts.  I really was falling asleep as I was typing and had to retype much of what I had written.

I think I may have caught up - it was a busy weekend.

Some DR's asked about why this coming trip to Disneyland may be the last for a while.  Well.... first of all, I'm not renewing my annual pass this year.  I don't think I made it "pay" this year, which is sad.  It's up in July.  I used to love to go at Christmas time, but it's really too crowded, and bring on a "school" schedule, it's hard to go during the school year because I'm only able to go when school is out, like everyone else!   The crowds are just too much.  I'd rather save and go to Walt Disney World, where the crowds may be bigger, but there is more room to roam around and more things to do.

Second reason is the opening on the new land "Star Wars: Galaxies Edge" - I am a Star Wars fan.... so are Disney AND Star Wars fans.  So, imagine the crowds starting on May 31. I just can't handle that anymore.  So, I'm waiting for a while before going back after the next trip.  Disneyland is getting so crowded, other Disney parks can handle the crowds, Disneyland can't, no matter what they do to try and control them. 

That's all I'm saying about THAT.....
