Sad to hear the world has lost another beautiful voice and person in the passing of Whitney Houston. Such a talent gone but not forgotten. It's too bad her life took the wrong path and led her to such an early end. Never has anybody sang the National Anthem with the heart, soul and all the meaning we all feel. I doubt anyone ever will again.
Another star was also taken but he lived a long life. Watched Peter Breck on the Big Valley years ago. Though his character wasn't my favorite he made you believe in family loyalty as much as the others did. It's been a tough week in the entertainment world with the passing also of Phillip Bruns from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and author Jeffery Zastrow in a car accident. They say it comes in threes but this is four already. What's next. Nothing I hope.
Went to great-grandson Gage's birthday party yesterday. He is a whole 2. I must have remove the pictures I had or I would have shown you what a cutie he is. Everyone had a good time and they all got to go swimming. They had it a local hotel with a pool. Worked out pretty good. Winter birthdays are difficult to plan if you don't have a lot of room.
Today there is nothing big planned. Oh I almost forgot ;-). Happy Birthday to this lady who grew up with me. I call her my sister. Happy Birthday Sherry. You have officially joined the Social Security set.
With that I will sign off and wish you all a good day.
I bet your sis is thanking you for you for mentioning social security for her. LOL The picture is very nice. I love old pictures!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherry! I hope it is one of the best days of your life!
Hi Terry, though I obviously heard of Witney, the other folks are strangers to me, but there passing is just as sad.
ReplyDeleteTerrible twos they're called, and they're not far wrong. Happy birthdays all round, I wish I could swim, i've tried to learn but am just too scared and panic when I let go.
Whitney.What a loss of great talent. I have heard her rendidition of the National anthem. a VERY DIFFICULT SONG TO SING. It was never done better. It was the complete opposite of this years cringe worthy version by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.
ReplyDeleteA Happy Birthday to your friend.
Sorry about the capital letters in my comment. I was not shouting. I was being a sloppy typist.
ReplyDeleteIt really is surprising when people die at that age. I have heard that from those that knew her well the signs were really there that the drug use was taking it's toll and she wasn't at all well before she passed away. She was only seven years older than me...I share Lincoln's birthday so that really hit me...yikes!
ReplyDeleteI was also saddened to learn about Whitney Houston, but I never watched The Big Valley....wasn't it opposite Bonanaza? We were faithful watchers of the Cartwrights!!!
