Saturday 9 with Judy Garland!

Thanks to Crazy Sam WInters for this week's Saturday 9! You can join in HERE!

(Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You

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!

(Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You (1938)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.
 
1) This version of "You Made Me Love You" is the teenaged Judy Garland's fan letter to Clark Gable. Tell us about one of your teen crushes.  In Junior High, I was head over heels for an upperclassman who was also the star football player.  He didn't know me from anyone but I was besotted! 

2) Garland sang this to Gable at a birthday party thrown for him at MGM. Who is the last person you sang "Happy Birthday" to?  Actually sang it, I can't remember. It's been a while since I was at a birthday party. I don't sing solo for anyone! LOL

3) Thinking of birthdays ... Judy received an engagement ring from the man who would be her first husband, David Rose, for her 18th birthday. Are you wearing a ring, or any jewelry, as you answer these 9 questions?  My wedding ring, my watch, and earrings.

4) It's said Judy's favorite dish was steak and kidney pie. If you could have anything at all for dinner tonight, what would you choose?  Shrimp and crab legs, please!

5) Judy was ambidextrous, writing with her left hand but playing tennis with her right. Are you equally comfortable using your right and left hands?  I am right-handed but am able to use my left hand, perhaps better than some. I can't write left-handed though.

6) To relax between takes of her most famous movie, The Wizard of Oz, Judy read comics in the newspaper. Do you still read a printed newspaper?  Yes, we get the daily paper and read it with breakfast and both of us read all of the comics. Sometimes the comics are the best part of the paper.

7) She could also knit. Judy was known to make blankets and caps for the children of crew members in her films. Do you knit?  Nope. I can crochet, but could never get the hang of using two needles.  Maybe I should try it again.

8) In 1938, when this record was popular, the March of Dimes founded. Do you have any dimes in your wallet (or pocket) right now?  I am sure there are dimes in my wallet because I just noticed that I am carrying too much change.  I need to put it into Joe's bank.

9) Random question: Catsup puddle next to your fries, or a drizzle of catsup on your fries?  Always next to my fries since I eat them with my fingers and like lots of ketchup!

There are enough of our snowbird neighbors who are back that we got to go to the clubhouse last night to play Nickels.  Always fun to see old friends back and hear about how their summers were.

Tonight, we are having a birthday dinner out (at Cheddar's) with Cheryl and Helen (Cheryl's birthday) and then going back to Helen's for cake and ice cream.    

Thanks for peeking in today!  Happy Saturday!

Peace & hugs!  God bless!!
