I know that sounds sniffy, but I hope you know what I mean.<br /><br />I'm going to steer away from blogging every single day - resting a bit until the juices start flowing once again.<br /><br />I really don't read as much as some other bloggers do.

All I can say about my memory at this point is - if I don't write it down or outline it, it disappears. :)<br /><br />In a way I think it is really a very problematic thing to be so interested in so many things. <br /><br />But I persevere. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-63661852675136855552012-02-24T12:50:35.584-05:002012-02-24T12:50:35.584-05:00Geminis unite!

The two programs I remember were with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and the other was Hopalong Cassidy. And then came The Lone Ranger.<br /><br />I loved Roy, Dale and Trigger and somewhere have saved a photo of the three of them, with an autograph for me.<br /><br />It's great to see your TV story.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-64203524377656450182012-02-24T08:02:20.497-05:002012-02-24T08:02:20.497-05:00Congratulations, Yvette, on a well-deserved award....Congratulations, Yvette, on a well-deserved award.

It is always a pleasure to visit your blog and learn something new. I am in awe of all the things your remember --you really are like an encyclopedia of fascinating facts. <br /><br />I enjoyed learning more about you --we could be sisters!

You are most deserving of it -- and "Versatile" must be your middle name.<br /><br />I was trying to describe this blog to a friend and mentioned the lovely artwork on the website; the Saturday salon educational posts with works by various articles posted (many new to me); reviews of books old and new; movie reviews,including hilarious ones of classic movies; poetry, maxims, book recommendations on books of all types; tributes to authors, artists, aports figures and others; accolades to sports figures and teams (Giants, Jackie Robinson), dog show and rescue news, and more. Plus very interesting bloggers' comments and responses.<br /><br />A real treat to come to each day with one's cup of tea.<br /><br />Thanks for the blog and what it gives its readers daily.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-6064737730615462462012-02-23T15:39:16.063-05:002012-02-23T15:39:16.063-05:00Congrats on your award!Congrats on your award!Skye https://www.blogger.com/profile/05663879992702576347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-18581655474007565982012-02-23T14:37:42.089-05:002012-02-23T14:37:42.089-05:00Congrats on the honor, Yvette!
