A Saturday 9 Tribute to Debbie Reynolds....

Thanks to Samantha for this week's Saturday 9.  I love Debbie Reynolds in the Tammy movies.

Tammy

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: Tammy (1957)
In celebration of Debbie Reynolds

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

1. In this song, Tammy sings of being able to hear "the breeze from the bayou." What sounds can you hear as you answer these questions?  The TV is on HGTV House Hunters. A breeze from the bayou would sure be better! 

2. This week's song was the theme of a popular movie about a girl who grew up on a houseboat in Mississippi. Looking back on 2016, did you spend much time on or around water?  Around water...yes. I live in LAKEland, Florida.  There is a lake every few miles in whichever direction you drive.  We also have a pool (for a couple more months, anyway!).

3. In addition to being an Oscar-nominated actress, this week's artist, Debbie Reynolds, was a big movie fan. She amassed an amazing cache of movie memorabilia. Do you collect anything?  Not so much anymore. Too much stuff!!

4. Though she never won a competitive Oscar for acting, Debbie Reynolds was awarded the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award earlier this year for 60 years of charity work. While she supported many causes throughout her life, one she was closest to was The Girl Scouts. She was not only a Scout herself, she was a leader when daughter Carrie was young and a fundraiser throughout her life. Were you ever in Boy or Girl Scouts?  I was in Camp Fire Girls, but my sisters were Girl Scouts and my mom was a leader.

Thanks for playing Sat 9 in 2016

6. The New Year's Eve fireworks celebrations in both Disney World in Florida and Sydney, Australia coordinate pyrotechnics and music. Are you expecting either fireworks or live music on your New Year's Eve celebration?  Only the ones we might see on TV.  Our neighbors usually shoot off fireworks out in front of our houses at midnight but we don't go out to watch.

7. According to the National Insurance Bureau, more cars are stolen on New Year's Eve than any other single day.  Are you confident your vehicle(s) will be  safe and sound this Saturday night?  Mine is in the garage. Joe's is in the driveway and it would be fine if someone wanted to steal an 11-year old Kia Spectra!  LOL

8. Do you have any New Year's Resolutions for 2017?  I never make resolutions.

9. Looking back on 2016, what surprised you?  Nothing really surprised me.

 
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.
