Good Morning Lucille,
There were only two names on my short list for a girl (should by some miracle one be born into the family). The first being GeorgiaRea, a combination of my father and grandmothers names, and Lucille…after Mr Kings guitar. Both beautiful and meaningful names to me.

Good morning, Gary! Lucille is French and means “light.” History doesn’t include many Lucilles outside of Lucille Ball (whose 2nd husband was named Gary)…
…B.B.King’s guitar…
…Lucille van Pelt–Charlie Brown’s nemesis, Lucy…
…and Lucille’s Houston Restaurant…
“It’s all about the Benedicts baby. Our brunch menu — which is available both Saturday and Sunday — features three House Benedicts, including this #crabcake rendition that features blue crab, a poached egg, and housemade Hollandaise sauce.”
Have a fine day!

My favorite song (by a magnitude of ten, as they say, no other one comes even close) is When Love Comes To Town by U2 with B.B. King. Recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, and the video was filmed there too.

That episode never gets old, along with the grape stomping episode.
In the early 70s, I worked on her HERE’S LUCY show at Universal. It was on TV from 1968-1974. She was a very hard worker. It wasn’t all fun ‘n games but she certainly wasn’t mean or overbearing toward those who worked for and with her. She was really quite an exceptional businesswoman besides a star.
This is a fun example of what kind of set she ran…”Behind the Scenes of ‘Here’s Lucy’ Featurette” (1970). The episodes were always shot in front of a live audience and she always did the intros at the end just like this vid reveals…

From Jersey to Georgia and back, the general feel I got from the people I met was the same.

Absolutely. Most of us rarely get to go, better believe I’d whine. We are booked for a week on St. George island first week of June. If that is messed up I’m going to set new records for whining. Going with my son’s family, and school was supposed to be out. Will there still be Covid-19? Will the beaches be open? Will the schools do something weird like go back in a month or two and keep going? Who knows. At this point in time, my son says he paid, he’s going, if the beaches, restaurants, etc. are open.
So, y’all brace yourself for more crying in two months if we are still in this mess!
Seriously, aus, hope you get as much beach time as possible before you go.

I’m all set. I eat all of these things. I have a banana every morning, and broccoli a couple of times a week usually (last night). Grapefruit is my favorite fruit, but have been staying away from it because of possible drug interactions. I had an orange today too, and put butternut squash, beets and potatoes in my mixed roasted veggies this past week. Brussels sprouts are also a favorite.

Taking a break from veggie chopping! I’m making a chicken and biscuit casserole with lots of vegetables – onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms. I made turkey stock yesterday from meat I had in the freezer, and I poached a couple of chicken breasts in it earlier today, so I’ll add both turkey and chicken meat to my casserole. I’ll also add frozen peas, then top with biscuits.

I found the vid at Quod Verum in REX’s section where he wrote…”Sidney Powell @SidneyPowell, one of the most important figures to emerge in the American legal community in decades, addresses Hillsdale in an important speech. It’s frightening how bad things have become in the DOJ/FBI. Powell notes that the rot started 20 years ago. BTW wait until you hear how much Holder’s scumbags at Covington charged Gen Flynn. $3 million + !”

We have 49 cases in Oklahoma. City governments everywhere are closing restaurants, hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons, gyms, arcades, everything but WalMart and grocery stores where hundreds if not thousands are lined up every morning.
Now for 49 cases the National Guard has been called up, but repeatedly keep wanting to stress and empathize this is not martial law or a lock down, just to help flatten the curve. Nobody in state government or the National Guards have had any discussions about martial law or a lock down. Anyone rumoring that is just causing a lot of stress, so again they stress it’s not martial law or a lock down.
Yeah, let’s just say when they want to repeat themselves over and over to convince me what it’s not, it raises my stress level it is what they say it’s not.

Yeah, we’re usually left alone as well. These days I’m not really sure what the hell is going on, so don’t know how long that is going to last.
Nearest town just closed about everything down with the exception of grocery stores, even the damn public parks and nature trail in town is shut down. Some hair salons are questioning how they who make appointments, so never have more than 10 people and most times 3 people are a threat to spread the virus, yet WalMart with 350+ waiting in line for the store to open is not going to spread the virus.
So they get WalMart, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Pharmacy and all the medical pot stores.
Then later learn the National Guard is coming into the state to flatten the curve of 49 positive cases and one death, but three times in one statement they are stressing and emphasizing they’re not here for martial law or a lock down, not even discussed they say.
