We remember Mary Tyler Moore (1936-2017)

We remember  Mary Tyler Moore who was born on this day in 1936.   She died in 2017.

We remember her as the wonderful Laura Petrie in "The Dick Van Dyke" then Mary Richards in her own show and finally in the drama "Ordinary lives".

She was great and a big part of our lives.

Doing nothing and laughing watching "A night by the opera" with The Marx Brothers

What a great movie.   

You pick up a new line every time.    

Today, I remembered that great line about "the sanity clause" in the contract that Chico and Groucho were negotiating.   

Or, the scene where they are ordering food from that little room.....or when the cleaning ladies come in to make the bed.

How did these guys come up with so many lines?   Wonder if they just made up lines on the set?    

Just great!

Dec 29, 1845: Texas entered the Union

 

On this day in 1845, Texas became the 28th state to enter the Union.    Texas came in as a "slave state" and eventually fought with the South in The Civil War.

Over time, Texas became the second largest economy in the US and a huge political factor as well.     

Years ago, James Michener wrote a good novel about Texas.
