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!

    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.

    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...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!

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

    ****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.

    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.
