Oh, they were so nice, the dance coaches. You know, Dolly was petite and always wore really high heels, and it wasn’t easy to dance in them. I asked her if she wore them back home, and if Carl liked that. She causally said that she always did the dishes back home, and so needed… https://t.co/lJ5DhzuhE1 pic.twitter.com/6XBdJgaSbS

The “vessel with the pestle” scene in The Court Jester (1955) is still one of the hardest bits of comic timing ever filmed.

After this HOT August, are we ready for winter?

Have a great day!
Stella's Place 
I appear to be right on the intersection of “snow when it’s raining everywhere else” and “wintry with icy bouts and tornadoes (sometimes in the same day)!”

Most of us lack that confidence!

Good afternoon Stella!
Such compassion!
Nurses of the foot soldiers of the hospital, God bless them. It isn’t always easy. Sandwiched between doctors orders and patient needs, It’s physically and mentally demanding.

Thank you Stella.

Good afternoon, Reflection! Our world is full of kind people. It’s too bad that we hear about the unkind ones more of the time.
