The other day my mom called and asked me to start planning a "girls" vacation to Disney World.
Zowie!
On that note, Mr Robert Sherman passed away recently. He was responsible(with his brother), for writing the soundtrack of my childhood.

Hey Ladies
Ok, my dream is about to come true. We are going to be chicken owners.
I must elaborate. We have friends in Royal Oak that have always wanted to have chickens and because Royal Oak allows chickens, we have decided to co parent a flock.
We are in the process of designing a coop and our ladies have been chosen and ordered, from My Pet Chicken.
Due to my current obsession with not only chickens but Downton Abbey. I have named all of our ladies after characters at Downton Abbey.
Just like Downton, some of the chickens are ornamental and some are just darn good egg layers.
Our coop is based on this one that we found on a very savvy bloggers site.
We(I mean I) couldn't be happier at the prospect of being an urban chicken owner.
Mimi, Luna, Kiki and I are taking full responsibility for the ladies. I am hoping that Terry and Stan will help in the coop building process.
More details to follow.

Girl
JieJie called me yesterday afternoon to let me know that Davey Jones had passed away.
Immediately, I was taken back to my sisters and I back on Penrod on the Northwest side of Detroit, watching "The Monkees" and being totally enraptured by Davey Jones. My sister Suzanne had more of an affinity for Peter Tork, which we completely gave her grief about.
When we were adults, we were ushers for a live show based on the Brady Bunch series. The cast would recreate an episode of the Brady Bunch for a week, the script verbatim. The show was hilarious and we ushered through all four weeks.
One week, Suzanne and I were thrilled to find out that they were doing the episode when Marcia tries to get Davey Jones to perform at her prom. Every night we were filled with excitement at the thought of seeing Davey live, even if he was making fun of himself.
Over the years I witnessed Jie Jie crazy over Justin Timberlake, and Mimi get whisked away with the Justin Bieber phenomenon.
I guess there is nothing that compares to that first idol crush.
