I LOVE MY FAIR LADY! I took a private vocal session when I was in uni and one of the songs the instructor had me learn was actually ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE. Yes, it's performed by a man in the musical, but it's really great for either gender! As for the 'starving to death', my oldest nephew, when he was small, had another that he would throw in. He would be 'thirsty to death'. LOL! Hard to believe he's in his 1st semester of uni now! Tell the fam, "Hi!"
Tina, you have such a way of writing! You still amaze me. Loved the tales about the tails. LOL! I'm allergic to dogs and cats, so I admire them from afar. Hope you all are doin' well! Hugs!!!
Your Mimi sounds like a wonderful woman! So great to have those sorts of amazing influences in our lives. My dad's dad had a lot of heartache and pain in his 98 years, but he never complained about anything. My dad is much the same.
