Bri likes to flip the channels and PBS had a show on about Carol Burnett’s career. I think she’s wonderful! She had a rough beginning with parents who were alcoholics and she was mainly raised by her Nanny. I was raised by my mom and grandmom, so I understand what it is like to have a senior citizen around the house all the time. I believe Carol’s first play was ‘Once Upon A Mattress’ which really made her a star. Her tv show was on for 11 years after that and personally, I don’t think any of us missed an episode. If you remember the scene of Carol ‘dressed’ like Scarlett O’Hara in the curtain dress with the rod still through it, I’m sure you are laughing right now.

Here’s the skit from Youtube:

My brother Don was in our high school production of ‘Once Upon A Mattress’. My mom wrote to Carol and Don got back an autographed picture of her! That was pretty neat. In the show last night, they had a question and answer session and a girl said she had played Winifred in OUAM and if Carol could sign a few bars of ‘Shy’ with her. Carol asked the young lady to come on stage and they sang together.

By the way, here’s my dinner from a few nights ago, my 3rd entree from the Everyday Foo, Nov. 07 issue-Penne in a pumpkin sauce. It was good, but I think it needed a pinch of nutmeg or even some roasted pine nuts.

Think about me about 11:00 at my consultation tomorrow with Dr. R.
