I’ve been thinking about famous people
lately. As a little girl I was a big fan
of Shirley Temple. And yes I own a large
number of her movies as a young star. I
perfected the impression of “Oh my word” from the end of “Curly Top”. I practiced with my sister, as she tapped her
way through “Animal Crackers”. I even
went as far as to dress up for Shirley Temple for Halloween one year. Good, clean, adorable fun.
When I
was a freshman in high school I did a report on Shirley Temple and learned new
and exciting things about her life. It
was the first time I heard of the diplomat side of her, and I was in awe. During that time I was beginning to love
other countries and different cultures.
For my
high school graduation I received a beautiful gift of a blue pitcher, collector’s
item that had a picture of miss Shirley herself and her signature. I had admired it at my Grandma’s house and
love that I may now call it my own. “Bright
Eyes” you and your smile will be missed!
In other famous people news…
Yesterday was and will be an important day in my life
because it’s Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.
Ok, that’s not the whole truth. It’s my Dad’s birthday and also happens to be
the famous president’s day of birth as well.
We enjoy the many similarities that the two hold. Yesterday I found some fun facts about
Lincoln and shared them at the dinner table For example, Lincoln is the only
president to hold a patent {my dad also has his name on a patent}. We then had some “fun facts” about my
dad. And then I broke the news…Lincoln
seems to have really liked cats. My dad
on the other hand, he does not like cats.
So although there are some similarities between the two, {height and
birthday and patent} they are both different men. I am so glad that my dad is who he is.
Happy {belated} birthday!
