Saturday 9

Dedicated to the One I Love

Welcome to Saturday: 9.  What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions  every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random  questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants  posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your  choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Dedicated to the One I Love

Thanks to Diana for recommending the Mamas and the Papas. (You can listen to the song here.)

1) The lyrics include the line, "Love can never be exactly what we what it to be." Are you happy with your love life?

Yes, very!

2) Another lyric is, "Each night before you go to bed, whisper a little prayer for me." Do you say your prayers?

I do say prayers.  Not always before I go to bed, but when I feel the need to pray for something.

3) Mama Michelle and Papa John were married in real life. It didn't end well -- not for the couple and not for the band. Do you believe you could work successfully with a romantic partner?

Yes.

4) After the band broke up, Michelle tried her hand at acting and eventually became a regular on the nighttime soap, Knott's Landing. Of course, she could live off of her music royalties while she learned her new craft. If money was no object, what career would like to try?

Owning a cute little shop.  I'd sell crafts, craft supplies, candles, baked goods, a little bit of everything.

5) There is a famous rumor -- completely false -- that Mama Cass died while eating a ham sandwich. Can you think of another urban legend?

The only one that comes to mind is the Bloody Mary one.  When I was a kid, I remember being told that if you said her name three times, in a dark room in front of the mirror, she would appear.  I never had the guts to try it...just in case! :)

6) In the 1960s, every high school girl wanted to wear her hair like Michelle and Cass -- long and straight. Can you recall a fashion trend from your school days?

French rolling your pants, banana hair clips, jelly shoes, parachute pants, slap bracelets.... I could go on and on!

7) With the Fourth of July falling on Thursday, are you able to enjoy a looooong four-day holiday weekend?

Thursday my mom came over in the evening and I did some fireworks, she came back over for a visit and dinner last night, today I'm going to lunch with two friends and I don't think we have anything planned for tomorrow.

8) Many communities have parades to celebrate Independence Day. Have you ever ridden on a float or marched in a parade?

Yes, when I was a kid, for girl scouts.

9) In honor of the Fourth of July, name your favorite Founding Father.

Benjamin Franklin
