Hello all!
I was on remote at Value Village Saturday. It is truly amazing the gems you can find there. They say there are regulars who come looking for one of a kind treasures and rare finds. While I was there, I noticed a large, red box on the counter near where we were set up. The lid was on it. I was busy so I didn't have time to go and satisfy my curiosity about what may have been inside!
About a half hour before we were finished, I saw someone had taken the lid off...I had a wee bit of free time til I was on next...so I went over to the counter. Wow! It was a box of puppets...a lion, a giraffe and four more...along with a little stage set complete with curtains! It was an amazing little theatre! I had to buy it!! I had my daughter's two little men...Brandon, 3 and Garrett, 2 in mind as I purchased this wonderful treasure!! They LOVED it! They were so excited to use their theatre and we enjoyed many plays put on by the "Little Man Theatre Company"!
But I was really surprised that my 12 year old son and his friend put on a play...and recorded it. See...something so simple can entertain so many.
WATERCOOLER CONVERSATIONS......
On this date back in 1956, Paul McCartney and John Lennon met....and the rest, as they say, is history.......
After Paul's song, "Penny Lane" became a Beatles hit, the street signs for the actual Penny Lane in Liverpool disappeared with such regularity (as they did on the real Abbey Road), that the town reverted to simply painting 'Penny Lane' on the buildings, rather than have street signs.
Contrary to popular belief, the title for "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was prompted by 4-year-old Julian Lennon's description of a painting he brought home from school, not the drug, LSD.
* Paul McCartney wrote "Hey Jude" for Julian Lennon, John's son.
* Though the Beatles were still largely unknown in the U.S. in October 1963, Ed Sullivan got his first glimpse of Beatlemania on Halloween of that year. His plane at Heathrow Airport outside London was delayed due to hordes of screaming Beatles fans welcoming the boys back from an overseas concert. When he was notified about the cause of the delay, Ed Sullivan said, "Who the heck are the Beatles?" That experience prompted him to book them on his show in 1964. (The Beatles, for their part, had not previously heard of Ed Sullivan).
