Google announces plans to build a ‘ultra high-speed’ broadband network to connect up to half a million homes in the US.
One of the songs we played this morning was the classic “Harper Valley PTA”. The song was written by Tom T. Hall and tells the story of a widow who receives a letter from the PTA of her daughter’s school district chastising her for “wearing her dresses way too high” and “Runnin’ round and goin’ wild,” and that she shouldn’t be “raisin’ her little girl this way.” And it was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley PTA.
Well, the song is a classic and James and I had discussion related not only to the song but also the movie that starred Barbara Eden. Barbara, also of “I Dream of Jeannie” fame was every young males “dream”. (Yes, I said it again “dream”.) Our conversation led me this morning to Google Barbara and we learned that she was 45 when the movie was produced.
I think that I remember the details of the movie so well because I saw it at a drive-in movie theater. That’s something the kids of today will never have the joy of experiencing. This is what Munising needs…a drive-in movie theater. We would always ride in the back of the pick-up truck, laying down of course because it must have been illegal to ride in the bed of a pick-up even in the ’70’s. My mom and dad would tell us to “keep your heads down until we get there”. We would bring our own popcorn & pop, mom would even make some “chef-boy-r-dee” pizzas to take with. We would watch the movie from the bed of the pick-up…being eat’in alive by mosquitos. No matter how hot the summer in northern Kansas was, the ride home was always cool in the bed of the truck.
Oh well, that’s what memories are good for. And this memory is brought to you by Barbara Eden and a man’s memories of growing up with such timeless beauties as Barbara. By the way, Barbara, born in 1934, is still beautiful at 76 years of age. That’s what they call timeless.
