    Hi Marydon, I love the Smothers Brothers! We always watched their show... about your blog, I am sure you have tried "refresh"? Maybe turning off your computer and restarting it? I am no expert for sure, I just mess around until something works by some fluke! Love to you... xoxo Julie Marie

    I loved Mother Knows Best.
    If I have to pick a giveaway it would be #1, but then I'm here to have fun so you can select too!

    Morning Marydon!
    Wow... Remember the Smother's Brothers Show was so risque for the times. They got sensored easily. It was a hoot!! I only wish TV was that innocent now....
    I was born in 1951 but I love to read about the British Royal History & have read a lot about them!!
    Have a Peaceful Weekend!
    Love,
    Marilyn

    great trivia! Thanks for the fun facts. I would love giveaway #4 because I have a dear friend who collects Wedgewood. She is an excellent gift giver and I would love to be able to give her something I know she'd love.

    I loved the Smothers Brothers show. They were hilarious. I like #1 if I had to choose. All of them are nice.

    I liked watching the Smothers Brothers as a kid. Seems like forever ago. I'm going to choose #1 although the wedgewood is calling my name. I get my mother's set (that exact same pattern) when she dies....not that I'm looking forward to that...

    I read a biography that old about this day, it must have been fascinating. Can you imagine the pressure? I think I'd much prefer a small ceremony! I hope you have a terrific weekend!

    I use to love the Smother Bros........my parents I remember always watched it weekly.
    The Queen.......when I was growing up we always sang 'God Save The Queen' in Canada in schools, but now they have forbidden it. Which is a shame. Have a great weekend.
