Let’s Fill-In Sentences!!
It’s Friday and time for some filling in thanks to the blog hop hosted jointly by Miss Ellen at 15andMeowing and Miss Annie at McDuffy’sReader! If you want to join in the fun, just visit McDuffy’s Reader and join up with the LINKY TOOL – we’ll hop by to see how you filled in your sentences!
Todays sentences and my responses are below! This week I let Mom fill in again…….I know I’m spoiling her but some of the sentences just weren’t appropriate for ME to fill in – more for Mom I think. Mom’s fill-ins are in RED.
1. I have seen Bob Hope play in concert.
2. I would like to attend an Air Force Band concert.
- In the dead of Winter, I tend to do more baking than any other time of year.
- The main ringer on my cell phone is OFF – my cell phone is only for me to use in an emergency so it sits in my pocket book 99.9% of the time and isn’t used!
So Mom did her thing……maybe next week I’ll fill-in…………….it’s only fair to let her do it once in a while anyway – besides, cats very infrequently go to concerts right????????? Tee Hee
A little bit of explaining about Mom’s answers. She used to work for Mutual Broadcasting when it was the world’s largest radio network. She met a whole lot of celebs but her FAVORITE was Bob Hope. Mom took her Mom to the concert when Mom’s boss, the President of Mutual, gave her tickets and Mr. Hope introduced my Mom in the audience before he did his show. He had a band and Suzanne Sommers was appearing with him – they did some songs together but my Mom ALWAYS thought Mr. Hope was a REAL GENTLEMAN and kind man.
The Air Force Band is because of two things – when my Mom was making arrangements for her wedding reception when she was marrying my Dad, she wanted the Air Force Strings to play. They had a small three piece group (violins) who would do weddings, special occasions. They did play at Mom and Dad’s reception and it was wonderful……SO Mom thought it would be TOTALLY COOL to see the ENTIRE BAND in a concert once. When her Dad passed away in 1993, he had a full military honors funeral and the band played “Amazing Grace”…….it was an amazing moment she will never forget.
So that’s it for me this time around……………complete with a couple of “side stories” about Mom’s answers…………I’ll see you NEXT Friday for filling-in again. Meanwhile – HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
With Love From the Rainbow Bridge, Angel Sammy

Angels Sammy and Easy, Thank you so much for disturbing your heavenly sleep to meet my friend, Oliver the black lab, and help him across the Bridge last night. He was 16 and decided it was time to go to the bridge to get his body rehabbed. You both are very kind. Loved your Mom’s fill-ins; she has done some interesting things. How neat.

Oh Wickett I’m sorry your friend Oliver had to go to the Bridge but indeed – he now has wings and is young again AND feeling perfectly fine now…..it’s nice to have a chance to “re-start” up here…..we miss our humans but we do visit those who are “open” to us visiting. Oliver is happy now….you can count on that!

Sweet answers and explanations, Angel S. Of course there’s no explanation about why the phone ringer is off. It just is, I guess. That would never happen in this house! Mom is obsessed.

Well Mom just doesn’t use her call for communicating – unless she’s calling AAA with a car problem!! Otherwise Mom and Dad talk to each other in purrrrrson……….almost everyone we know though has a cell phone and uses it all day every day. Mom did a little informal survey at the grocery this week and every single person in there other than the checkers and HER had a cell phone attached to their ear!

Beautiful photo of you Angel Sammy. Thanks to your Mom for participating and you for the explanation. That was sweet of her to take her Mom to see Bob Hope, I bet that was a huge thrill for her. How cool that your Mom used to work for a big broadcaster and all the perks with it. The Air Force band would be nice to hear in concert.

Sammy, the best part of the fill-ins are the side stories.Because of our book review we didn’t do them this week. Mom has no idea what her ringtone is…her phone just rings. Her list of performers she’s seen, being a teenager in the 60s in California, could fill an entire page. We love your image from the bridge today with the purple background. Tell Mom Pam and Dad David to stay safe if they hit with lots of snow. We love you all bunches. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Amazing Grace just makes me cry in general. A bagpiper played Amazing Grace at David’s dad’s funeral back in 1987. It just rips my heart out now to hear it on the bagpipes especially. I’m sorry that your Mom lost her daddy, Sammy. I lost mine just after his birthday in 2012. Those are hurts that just don’t go away.
I’m glad that your mom and her mom got to see Bob Hope. 🙂
Have a blessed weekend!

Haunting is the perfect word for this song played on the pipes. It just reaches into to every cell and draws out the tears and every ounce of feeling in a soul. Even once the piper stops, the sound, the feeling, it is all still there, reverberating endlessly. Yes, it is powerful and meaningful. Definitely.
No, it sure doesn’t ever go away. {{{Hugs}}}

What exciting experiences for your mom. Our mom saw Bob Hope in person many years ago. She was vacationing in California with friends and they were lucky enough to get tickets to the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (we said it was many years ago!). Before the Tonight Show started, the audience got to be the audience for an upcoming Bob Hope special and the mom got to see Bob Hope’s monologue. He was an entertainment icon.

She uses her cell phone for any calls she needs to make. It has a lot of inclusive minutes so is cheaper than the landline which is only free at weekends.
