He was Robert Horton from WAGON TRAIN...
And there's his autograph! (The internet has everything!)
You can click HERE for his obituary.
Yes, I had many TV crushes when I was young, but I will save the others for another day,
when I may be lacking for blog material (or they die).
So what does this have to do with the mid 80's?
Well, we have a niece that was young back then, and liked to play 'Cinderella' at her Nana's house in Oklahoma. And through the years we'd hear Nana and Daddy-Bob talk about when they had little Marian for a week or two and how she wanted to wash the dishes and sweep the floors and wanted her Nana to tell her to work harder!!!!
She was being Cinderella!!!
What a great memory.
Well, Marian is one of these people who is so fun to be around.
Why, my next house-cleaning day I might have to call her up to visit me!

4. In other news, there was hail in Fort Worth Thursday and it killed some flamingos and ducks and a pelican at the Fort Worth Zoo. How sad.
Here's the only picture I could find...
You can click HERE for a CBS report about it.
5. In happier news, I saw a lot of people wearing green Thursday. I only had to pinch two people. Well, there were many more to pinch, but my policy is not to pinch strangers.

Really.
I am SO GLAD I had a twin.
How did you singletons make it through childhood, and the teen years??
7. That brings me to thinking about the part in my book about her dying.
And I think, "I am so glad I will never have to go through that again."
And she won't either.
Life is fragile.
I think, though, that if it weren't so fragile
we wouldn't appreciate it as much.

8. In totally different news,
I have decided to NOT fret about the Presidential election.
I can do nothing about it...
except pray.
And even if I don't know how to pray about it
I can say, "God, here is our country. Have at it."
That may sound flip.
It's okay.

And it is okay to have a great day today!!

2. In other news, I found out you CAN have too many exclamation points! Imagine that??!!!!!!
I was leaving a comment on Laura's blog post, and I was excited and well, I hit 'publish comment' and was immediately told it couldn't be published because there were too many exclamation points!

What?? I live by exclamation points!!!!!
Well, I deleted several.
You can go to her blog post and see my comment, that looks anemic compared to how I had it look!!!
Here's the first picture of her post...

6. In other news, I'm plodding along, finishing my twin book.
As I re-read the part about growing up
I keep coming back (in my mind) to this 'poster' I found a while back...
