Earl and Opal are animated versions of my parents – with Dad (RIP 1920-2012) acknowledging he even looked like Earl, and Mom (a usually quiet woman anyway) getting the last line and epitomizing Opal’s character. And folks, I used to love watching Art Linkletter and his “Kids Will Be Kids” show. His voice was melodious and his charm spot on. Met him years later when he was our guest speaker in Boston at a statewide annual Dental Convention. He was still a charming guy. Someone bring back the repeats of the Arthur Godfrey radio show, too. He used to be our apartment neighbor when we lived in Manhattan, could hear his laughter thru the walls. Funny guy. We need a happier time now.
Happy Thanksgiving all, wherever you may be – serving (in the military) away from your homes, or being served by some pretty terrific waitstaff and cooks who put in a pretty long day to those dining out, or your family and friends joining in to a traditional meal at home. If, like me and my husband during our single years before we met, then enjoy your day with some great movies, cartoons, catching up on a good book, and a TV-made meal. Been there, and more. Life is what you make of the crumbles. Just add sugar on top to sweeten up the deal. To-da-loo and a merry song in your head.
