What’s Katherine hiding from?

What’s Katherine hiding from?: The N in NPR stands for National.  I guess that Katherine Maher, CEO, does not know that because the leftist lady boss is avoiding a date with the “National” Congress.   It would be like a corporate CEO avoiding a meeting with….

Happy # 78 Donovan

Donovan was born on May 10, 1946 in Scotland.   He was a British folk singer who recorded songs like "Sunshine Superman", "Mellow Yellow" and "Wear your love like heaven".

My favorite was always "Lalena", a song from many summers ago.

I had not heard any of his songs in quite a few years.

1970: Paul quit The Beatles and "Let it be" was the #1 song in the US

Not surprisingly, The Beatles broke up on this day in 1970.  

It started with Paul McCartney officially leaving the group but the guys had not played together for about a year.      In other words, The Beatles had not really been a group since they recorded "Abbey Road" in the spring and summer of 1969.

2 months after the official breakup, McCartney released a solo album.  It was so "solo" that he played every instrument.   The most popular song was "Maybe I'm amazed" although it was never released as a 45 in the US.

We remember my mother Angela (1929-2021)

Our wonderful mother Angela was born in Ciego de Avila, Cuba, on this 1929.  She died in 2021 or a day after turning 92. 

It was my mom and dad who decided to come to the U.S. so the three of us would grow up in freedom.  They saw communism eye to eye, fought it, learned how evil it is, and decided that it was not for them. 

It was not an easy decision to pick up and leave your homeland.

They were forced to start all over again in the U.S.  Yes, it was tough at first, but my parents were so grateful that the U.S. gave us a new chance to start again. 

One of my favorite memories was 1984 and how she worked hard to become a U.S. citizen.  Why 1984?  She wanted to vote for President Reagan and say thank you to the U.S. 

We take a few minutes to share some quotes about mothers:

 “Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.” –Mildred B. Vermont“

There’s nothing like a mama-hug.” –Terri Guillemets

“Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” –Oliver Wendell Holmes 

RIP my mom!
