100th BIRTHDAY CONCERT

 Miss Ima Hogg, Founder of the Houston Symphony and a lady very important in the history of the city of Houston.  I was sure my mom had the Tom Tierney paper doll book of famous Texas women that included a paper doll of Ima Hogg, but no, of the hundreds of Tom Tierney paper doll books she has that is the one not in her collection.  The HOUSTON SYMPHONY created this fan to hand out at the celebration.  It is actually much prettier than it scanned.

June 21, 1013.  A wonderful time was had by all at Miller Outdoor Theatre for the 100th Birthday celebration of the Houston Symphony.  Beautiful music by the Houston Symphony, fun entertainment provided by students from area schools and a terrific vocal performance by LaKisha Jones.  I do not watch those singing programs on television but Miss Jones, a finalist on American Idol in 2007 sure can sing.

To BLOG or Not To BLOG, That is the Question?

I am going to try and get back into blogging.  I went through a period in which I just could not stand the sight of my computer.

ALL MINE TO GIVE - Movie Coloring Contest

December 22, 1957.  ALL MINE TO GIVE starred Cameron Mitchell, Glynis Johns, Patty McCormack and Hope Emerson.  Based on the story "The Day They Gave Babies Away" about a pioneer family in Wisconsin determined to overcome all obstacles. Directed by Allen Reisner.  I have never seen this movie but is has a good cast and received good reviews.  The only movie I have ever seen Patty McCormack in was THE BAD SEED - she was very convincing as one very, very, bad little girl.
