I went down to watch my grandchildren on Sunday, and that was wonderful. We played a few interesting games. Twenty questions, Savi is so good at that. I told her she could ask me anything and I would answer her. This was interesting because she was interested in what I was like as a child.
She asked what I was most proud of having done when I was her age? Hmmm. Well, I was in the Community Theater’s production of “The Sound of Music”. I played Gretl.
I had a speaking part and lots of singing and dancing and well, just being your average 7 years old.
Yes, that really little girl is me!
Yep, that’s me with my mouth open again, singing!
And the local newspaper wrote a review where they praised my performance.
And when I showed her this article from 1966, she was so surprised and said: “Oma you are marvelous!”
It was a fun way to spend about an hour before Mandy came to tuck Savannah in.
Earlier in the day, I was showing Quinn a picture of me taken when I was his age. He looked at it and said: “Is that me?”
Maribeth age 3.
Quinn age 3.
Yeah, I think we at least look related.
I just love spending time with my grandchildren! I learn something new every time! And I hope they can think the same thing.
Terrific that you have the old photos. Yes, I can see the similarity between you and Quinn.
Yes, I can see the resemblance.
so you were quite a star in 1966!
