Saturday:9 Good morning, yesterday....

Another Saturday and thanks to Samantha for another Saturday:9!!  Join the fun HERE!

The Times of Your Life

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

 

Saturday 9: The Times of Your Life (1976)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is all about memories. How far back can you remember?  I have a few memories of when I was four and a few more of when I was five.  What's your earliest memory?  I was four.  Our backyard flooded from too much rain and my tricycle was out in the yard, sitting in 4-5 inches of water.  I wanted my tricycle.  Mom said I had to wait, but Grandma (who was visiting) kicked off her shoes and waded in.  I remember my mom saying "Mother, you will ruin your stockings...".  I don't know how her stockings looked, but I got my tricycle!! Grandmas are like that, I think.  :)

2) The first line is "Good morning, yesterday." What do you remember about yesterday morning?  I remember the alarm going off and wishing it was Saturday.....

3) This song was originally a 60-second jingle, featured in a commercial for Kodak film. Do you ever use film?  Not anymore.  Or are all your pictures digital?  Yes, they are.

4) Who took the most recent photo of you?  I try to stay out of pictures, but it was probably Joe.

5) This week's featured artist, Paul Anka, was born in Canada and enjoyed appearing in a made-for-TV Perry Mason movie with fellow Canadian, Raymond Burr. Do you enjoy courtroom dramas?  Not usually, but I do enjoy the courtroom scenes in "To Kill a Mockingbird".

6) At 15, Anka won a supermarket contest by collecting the most Campbell soup can wrappers. The prize was a trip to New York. Do you enter contests and sweepstakes?  Nope.  Play the lottery?  Joe buys lottery tickets every week. You can't win if you don't play. 

7) This year Paul Anka performed throughout Florida (Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Clearwater and Fort Myers). The Sunshine State is a popular vacation destination. Do you have a favorite spot in Florida?  My own home in Lakeland, FL is first, followed by St. Pete Beach.

8) In 1976, the year this song was on the charts, an earthquake hit China. Have you ever experienced an earthquake?  No, thank goodness!

9) Random question: Do you know CPR?  Yes, I have been certified for years and years.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
