The Rose

by Zona



I was watching a Bette Midler concert special the other night. She was telling a story about how the audiences years ago used to wave lighters during the songs..but now they use cell phones instead. I can remember my mom watching one of the Divine Ms M's movies on HBO..and when her character started to sing the title song...my mom raised her Bic lighter into the air and began to wave it slowly back and forth. I went over and grabbed another lighter..and did the same. This was the song. My mom loved it..so do I.

Morning Tina!

**ignores DeeDee, but glares in her direction**

I really don't see what you see in him, but if you want to go moaning over him every morning who am I to say you can't.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Zona I like this song too. At one time I had the album, cassette and 8-track of it! You can't go wrong with a Bette Midler song!

I'm going back to bed!

Tina~in_ut said...

Good morning feathered friends!

TINA...Shirley thinks Cary Grant is ugly, too. McDreamy is hot, but McSteamy is SMOKIN hot!

ZONA...love the song and Bette. I can picture you and your mom waving your Bic's!

SHIRLEY...Hi! Good luck with work.

DEE DEE...Hi! Glad to see your gums have healed enough to eat pie!Maybe you will be able to eat hot dogs soon! :)~

DeeDee said...

GOOD MORNING SHIRLEY!!!

runs over and hands Shirley a gift wrapped box containing a box-set of Oprahs birthday shows...

heres a little something I knew you would enjoy!! I know ur a big fan!!

DeeDee takes another box from her purse and handling it carefully gives it to Shirley

and heres a little something you can open when you get home...at noon...straight up 12pm....you'll be alone right...at that time??

ticking? I don't hear any ticking! Its just your imagination dear...

DeeDee said...

MAUREEN!! DUCK AND COVER!!!

ah..I mean...good morning....

yes..I stopped at weinerschnitzel last night and did a test run...I gummed 3 mustard dogs!!!

DeeDee appears nervous and anxious to leave the manor..

DeeDee said...

The reason that I am holding my ears in my avatar is because there may be a loud noise....

well no...I thought there might be...that Tina would post more of that "Sugar Landers Sisters" music...egad!!

Tina~in_ut said...

DeeDee? Do you have any friends dear?

**bodyguard grabs packages, runs outside and dives into a snowbank**

Nice try DeeDee!

**explosion shakes the Manor**

**picks up phone and dials ACME Bodyguard Rentals**

Can you send another one over please? The last one left suddenly. Thanks!

Just_Lin said...

Tina Aren't you done moaning yet? You may have a problem. Maybe you should see a McDoctor. Seriously.

Just_Lin said...

DeeDee Your nerves certainly seem to be on edge today and for good reason, apparently. Or maybe it's just that you dripped some mustard on those Louie Poo-tawns you're wearing today.

Just_Lin said...

Shirley I think the ACME Bodyguard Rental have responded. I just saw the Roadrunner streak by the window.

Just_Lin said...

MO Good morning! LOL @ DeeDee healing enough to have hot dogs. She especially likes those foot long ones, I'm told.

Just_Lin said...

Zona What a sweet memory that is. Thank you for sharing it. I watched that special a week or so ago. Love me some Bette. She'd be a lot of fun to see in person.

whabbear said...

Dee Dee, you really need to "open yourself up" to new experiences! If Tina's willing, I mean. And I know she is.

Tina~in_ut said...

shuddup you bear whore!!!!! omg!!!!

Maureen said...

There I was, taking a lovely nap when I was awakened by a loud 'BOOM' seemingly from the Northeast.

Damn, what is this nest coming to?

Maureen said...

So DEE DEE likes weiners with special sauce? LOL!

Maureen said...

JUST LIN...Hello! How are you feeling? Still have all your inner organs?

WHABBY...hello.

SHIRLEY...LOL @ the last one left suddenly! You are seriously funny!

DeeDee said...

well...looks like just another day at the manor...

discreetly places sledgehammer behind drapery

any excitement while I was gone?

Zona said...

Hi Guys!

Thank you for the comments today. It's been a rough month around here and sometimes a song like this..and the memories that go with it..can bring a smile just when it's most needed.

Rand needs the computer so I better go..I hope everyone has a nice evening!

sacBarb said...

Hello Hooters. I am back from SLC and glad to be warm again even though it is only 46 here.

Zona, I love me some Bette. Sharon and I have seen her in concert twice and she was fab both times.

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday. I need to go vacuum the guest room and get it ready for Uncle Mike and Dr. Jim who will be here tomorrow.

Just_Lin said...

****MY BAD****

I just discovered a voice mail on my cell phone from Jodi several days ago. She is still without a computer but was hoping a friend could work on it this weekend. She says to tell everyone "hello". Sorry I am so late in passing that on.

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb Welcome home!

Dianne/Denver said...

ZONA: I love the Rose and I love Bette. I saw her in concert many years ago and loved her. She sang and was also very funny. I so remember people holding up those liters and how right they are about the cell phones being held up now. They used to say no cameras too but not anymore with cell phones. Thanks for the blog.

DEEDEE: Don't try and blow up our nest !!! That would be horrible...you two (SHIRLEY AND DEEDEE( need to take your aggression outside of our little home. We don't have enough funds to rebuild.

J/L: Please stay off my branch until you are not peeing your pants....thank you!!!

Watched the Pro Bowl game and it was dumb and like watching the Harlem Globetrotters.....no flags, no times-outs, hardly any tackling. Score was 42-0 at half and ended at 35-55....boring game.

Off to bed as it is night owl time of 1:57AM mtn time

Hope you all have pleasant dreams.

Tina~in_ut said...

hey Barb! 33* and snowing~

Maureen said...

OMG...JUST LIN, you reminded me...

I spoke with HODI on Saturday and she said to tell you all she said HELLO!

I'm a dork

Tina~in_ut said...

lmbo....I'm pretty sure she's called us all~
