I LIKE Thursday ~ Any Celebrities?

Good Morning All! Hope your week has been wonderful so far!  Join LeeAnna and friends to share the good things ! 

"have you ever had a close encounter with a celebrity? Seen someone in person, talked to them, etc?  please tell us the details!"

It’s pretty difficult to run into a celebrity in South Dakota or Wyoming! That being said, I did get the autograph of George Peppard when I was about 16. Some of the movie How the West Was Won  was filmed in and around the Black Hills of South Dakota, in 1962. That’s where I grew up. Some of the cast and crew did a promotional appearance. An all star cast in that movie, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Debbie Reynolds. But I only got George Peppard’s autograph. He was a heartthrob back then. 

Wish I still had that autograph book! 

I took a trip with my MYF( Methodist Youth Fellowship) when I was 18 and a senior in high school. We saw a Broadway play in NYCity. We saw “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”. It starred Robert Morse. We also saw Elizabeth Taylor in a limousine on the street as we waited in line. Very exciting when you’re 18, and from South Dakota!

And just to bore you with my age, I’ve seen a couple of celebrities in concert. Kenny Rodgers in Billings Montana and Mac Davis and Barry Manilow  in Rapid City SD. I missed seeing Elvis! We had just moved to Wyoming and Mr Busy said” he’ll be back, we’ll go next time”! It was June 1977! You all know the rest of the story, he died August 16th, 1977. 

Well, that was certainly nostalgic! Nothing exciting in recent years! 

Other stuff:

We are still watching Rabbit Hole on Netflix. And Mr Busy and I watched The Mother with Jennifer Lopez. 

Intense but good! IMHO!

We did nothing special on Mother’s Day. Mr Busy bought flowers on Friday, they still look pretty good. I’m a real amateur when it comes to arranging Dollar Store bundles of mums!

I did take myself to an art show in our community,  called Local Color. All local artists, and all pieces were for sale!   I got permission to take a few photos, as long as they weren’t  up close. Hopefully you’ll be  able to zoom in on the first photo. 

This fiber artist is new to our community.  Just a few of the pieces she had in the show!

I took this photo mostly for Mr. Busy. It’s some examples of metal sculpture!

The crabapple trees are blooming in our neighborhood! This is fuzzy because I had to crop out the pickup trucks (almost) and garbage cans at the neighbors! 😂. There are white and pink flowered varieties. The pink ones haven’t quite got to full glory yet. I’ll watch for some to photograph this week! 

I finished quilting Precarious yesterday late afternoon. Now I’ll have to pick a binding, make a label and get it done!  Photos soon!

I’m still making houses! This is #6 to show, I have a 7th one done but haven’t shown it yet! 

Nine houses are needed for the throw size, so just  2 more. I’m leaning toward bright green and turquoise. 

There’s a birthday celebration for our oldest granddaughter on Sunday. She’ll be 38! How is that possible? I was 39 when she was born! She’s requested cheesecake or brownies for “her cake”. I’m going to do both! The rest will be simple. Burgers and brats on the grill, chips, dip, fruit tray and veggies! Soda, iced tea, maybe lemonade! 

Well, that was a chatty post! Go check out others by clicking the links on LeeAnna post. Not Afraid of Color

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
