The hubby is off for summer break and we've been going through boxes and more boxes and doing some maintenance and fluffing up around here. Not nearly enough fun has been happening!
I went through my two remaining boxes of 45's from my (childhood and) teenage years the past week. It's been fun looking through them (some of them, I honestly wonder what on earth was I thinking?! Gary Puckett and the Union Gap?!!! LOL). I think I was able to remember and sing (at least some of) every song but a few of them still, after all these years.
Remember these? Gosh, I can remember watching The Beatles the first time they were on Ed Sullivan! My dad said they should get their hair cut with a lawn mower hahahhahhahaaha
We've really been enjoying a Danish TV series on PBS, "Borgen" and yesterday we went to the movies and saw a Danish movie, "A Hijacking" - about a Danish merchant ship that gets hijacked by pirates. Very good but very unsettling.
Tomorrow is the Santa Monica Farmers Market, something I love.
Hope you're all having a great summer, wishing you a very Happy and Fun, 4th of July!

We went to the Grammy Museum in Downtown L.A., weekend before last for the very first time, to see the Ringo Starr exhibit. Fun fun fun. Brought back so many memories. Why is it our teenage years are so deeply and lastingly, imprinted on our memories?!

Sally, you hit me right where I live! The Beatles WERE my teenage years and their music is part of my DNA! Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, of course I remember them! " Lady Willpower! It's now or never . . . ! ". You'll have me humming the rest of the evening! Twyla
ReplyDeleteTwyla! So good to see you! :) Haha! So sorry to have passed on Lady Willpower to you ... it's been replaying over and over again in my head LOL, along with lots of other 60's music that will never become classics hahahhahahaha.

DeleteHi Fabby!
It's so nice to see you! It was a wonderful time to grow up, with The Beatles music - Paul was my favorite too. :) That's so much fun that you remember Gary Puckett and the Union Gap too - I was thinking I was going to be the only one.
Happy weekend to you!

I remember sitting on the rug in front of the tv watching them on Ed Sullivan too! I had my Meet the Beatles album for years. George was my fav, had a George doll. You're right Sally, oh those teenage years are stamped in our memories. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam!
DeleteIsn't it fun to think we saw their first time on Ed Sullivan, with all those screaming and crying teenage girls in the audience! Beatlemania! One of my friends loved George too - which was great that we didn't have to come to blows over Paul hahhahahha.
Happy 4th!
Hello, I think its amazing you have your records and they look like they are in very good condition, even the covers~
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a Farmer's market, I'll bet that one is amazing. I think its one of the earliest too. I've been living on watermelon and plums and oranges. Soon the peaches will be in!

Hi Julie!
DeleteI am lucky to still have my 45's because my mom kept so much stuff! I have my Barbies too - although they are rather sad looking - not sure what to do with them?
Yes! SM Farmers Market is one of the first and it's really fantastic. Ooooohhh plums! You lucky, I don't recall seeing any plums sniffle sniffle. We filled my grandma's cart (another thing kept by my mom), full of stuff this morning. :)
Happy 4th to you!
