Barbe à papa, father’s beard, or cotton candy in French!
I was today years old when I learned that Penny Marshall the director was also the actress who played Laverne in Laverne & Shirley, that her brother directed The Odd Couple, and she was married to Rob Reiner. shadowy one was surprised this was new info.
You are so young!
there is apparently an annual golden gathering and they do a massive group photo
I absolutely love that and cannot show that to Mr. Meer who is desperate to get a golden retriever. I especially love this bit about the fifteen seconds it took to get a picture of just all the dogs:
“Fifteen seconds in golden retriever time is approximately eternity, and 488 golden retrievers evidently believed they had been abandoned forever. And panicked.”
hehehe
Yes I loved that part. It must have been outrageous chaos.
I know it was last week’s news, but y’all are killing me with the cursive talk. Behold, my to do list:
(Although sometimes I mix and match - I cheat with r, and I don’t ever do m or n the “correct” way.)
I bring out my very best cursive penmanship for postcards.
And no, I haven’t done my June 1 financial summary yet.
pareidolia (Most often associated with inanimate objects, but that’s the word I thought of)
If my handwriting was as good as yours I’d definitely write in cursive more!!
and that’s just my “to do list” penmanship!
To be fair, my mother was a grade school teacher. She has perfect denealian (is that how you spell it?) handwriting from 30 years of teaching it.
My father, though not a doctor, has chicken scratch handwriting and a signature that looks like modern art.
They are exactly the same age.
I remember finding it oddly suspicious as a second grader that Santa Claus used d’nealean on the gift tags (also not sure of the spelling lol) just like my Mom did…
I think my mom learned it in order to try to help me because I had (still do) such bad handwriting.
I love this!
Meanwhile I believed in the tooth fairy for a long, long time because my parents used their fancy cursive only for tooth fairy notes!
Last week I was looking at a signature one of the folks along the Oregon trail etched into the local bluff - the cursive handwriting was so elegant and beautiful! Kudos to Wm. Watters from Michigan who passed by Scottsbluff NE in May 1852.
Yes, this is the right spelling. Signed, a former third-grade teacher. When I taught and we still taught cursive, it was in 3rd. But when I was a student, we learned it in 2nd. My husband learned it as a first grader because he was advanced. He still has beautiful penmanship. I love cursive–writing in it, reading it. My own children can’t really do it. They can type quickly on a screen with two thumbs, though!
