Bring Back Lawrence Welk-Jim Gaffigan, Sunday Morning News

In a conversation, of the comic variety, Jim Gaffigan spoke of living in the 1950's, NOW!!
We are all in Covid cooking frenzy, everything, farm to table, scratch. Some have even brought out the Cleaver PEARLS!!!
Children under foot, for months on end, puzzles and board games galore. Desi and Lucy may be on the tube. All that is missing is Lawrence Welk!! Bubbles and Big Band Music, Yes, don't tease me.
1 Nanny ( yes, I did have a 2 Nanny), with Mr. and Mrs. Norman (Noni) watched Mr. Welk every Saturday night for years. The Lennon Sisters were my JAM!!! Even as a little girl, they would all tell me, which singer would make me a good husband!! You do realize, I was maybe 6, through high school, yes I still watched it!! There was some young blond singer, that was the winner. I told them, he was not my type. When Grandmother told me, "Well he looks just like Edward McClamma, and you love him!!" I reminded her, in a gentle way, ?? !!, " Gran, that is private information!" 
Yes, bring back Lawrence.
 Also, another couple of quotes, that I had the good fortune of stumbling upon, I will share.
" Smells like Icy Hot and Cruelty!!", Lemon Breeland, Hart of Dixie, Netflex. May be my favorite line of all time.
Also since in this house of horrors, 2020 continues, I was lucky to watch the US Tennis championship, with unbridled joy. Johnny Mack was commentating about a young mans second serve being so bad, when he offered some advice, " Get the first serve in, then you don't need to worry about the second one!!" I hollered, Yes Johnny, a life lesson for real!!!
I love tennis more than air, and this open, was fantastic.
Honestly I have so many notes, but can not connect the dots these days. All is well, reading an autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein. I feel like I am in Paris surrounded by all things that make me happy. 
I think we are still in September, itching to decorate for fall, and Christmas, all at the same time. Its an Idea!! 
Love the one you are with, and maybe another.
Peace, Vote, and pray for fires to finish, so much heartache, bring me Lawrence!!
