Well, despite the fact that there are only two stars here, I figure these two are worth double of any of today's stars...therefore, four stars. ;) Bobbie got 7/8 and Annette got 6/8. 1. George C. Scott refused the award two years before Brando did. He won for "Patton", but said the show was a "two-hour meat parade." 2. "The Bells of St. Mary's" was the first sequel nominated for best picture. It was the sequel to "Going My Way" which won the year before and featured Bing Crosby reprising his Oscar-winning role of Father Chuck O'Malley. 3. "The Godfather Part 2" was the first sequel to win best picture. 4. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" was the first movie line to take on a life of its own. 5. Adjusted for inflation, "Gone with the Wind" is still the highest grossing movie ever (adjusted domestic gross of $1.7 billion, unadjusted $199 million). 6. Katharine Hepburn won four (for âÂÂMorning Gloryâ in 1934, âÂÂGuess Who's Coming to Dinnerâ in 1968, âÂÂThe Lion in Winterâ in 1969 and âÂÂOn Golden Pondâ in 1982) and Daniel Day-Lewis won three (for âÂÂMy Left Footâ in 1990, âÂÂThere Will Be Bloodâ in 2008 and âÂÂLincolnâ in 2013). 7. Dr. Seuss. Seriously. Theodor Seuss Geisel and Helen Palmer Geisel wrote this 1947 full-length version of a 1945-46 Army training film titled âÂÂOur Job in Japan.â While working as the commander of the animation department of the Army Air Forces' First Motion Picture Unit, Seuss received an evaluation calling him a âÂÂpersonable zealot.â Prints of âÂÂDesign for Deathâ are hard to find. It apparently argues for governmental control in the hands of many, rather than few. 8. Mohr won for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as the result of a write-in. Thanks for playing. In reality, three stars for Bobbie and Annette, two for Nancy even though you didn't get back. Four stars for TM because he is smarter than all of us and is enjoying the sunshine and lack of snow! Looks like I may have another snow day tomorrow. Cynthia

Wow. I noticed it was mostly young men (except for the first place one) that managed to get into all those wild situations. In a history book I read, this young guy reached for a loaded gun on the back of a moving covered wagon, and you can guess the consequence. The author also mentioned the "gene pool" removal. Mary

Good afternoon! It's 91 F. and sunny here in SE Texas. Where did our "Spring" go??? Everybody has been so busy this week! I'm impressed with those of you who have stayed on your eating plan, worked out regularly, and are feeling positive about things. That's the kind of incentive and motivation I like! I attended our community center's Mother's Day luncheon today. We had a style show first, clothes from Palais Royal, then a lovely high tea/luncheon. Very much "lady foods", but it was all scrumptious! Today I sat with a table of people I've met briefly during this past year, so I had a chance to get to know them much better today. I was the "baby" at the table at 61, and the oldest one was 93. Most of the other 6 women were in their high 70's and 80's. These women are very active in the community and never seem to slow down. They are such an inspiration to me. Tonight I'm going to spend the evening with our friend Susanne helping her get things ready for our ESA state convention next week. I had promised her when Larry was so sick that I would go with her to this if he wasn't up to it, and I will. I'll be staying at night with my son and DDIL while in Dallas, and that will be the only time I'll get to see them while there, but it's better than nothing! Dee, I hope they don't dump too much extra work onto you. Time for another cruise, isn't it? LOL I'm going to see my granddaughters and son and DDIL tomorrow after cohosting a youth banjo concert at our church. Pray for me in the morning because I have to bake 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies!!!!! The doorbell just rang, and it was FedEx with a gift from oldest Dson and DDIL - 3 living, blooming African violets and a wooden collector's box. My DDIL really knows me well and Dson always trusts her taste. If I don't get a chance to post tomorrow or Sunday, I wish everyone here a Happy Mother's Day, whether you're a bio-mom, stepmom, or furbaby mom!
