Monday Musing

Tuesday 4 is available.  So please go and join in. Only 4 little questions to make you think, let us get to know you and that allow you to get to know others.

The weatherman promises hot weather is coming but, today was very cool and rainy.  Still the kids and I got a lot done today and had a great time doing it all too.
As the night goes on (Sunday night) it's getting chillier.

I've been watching old videos of As The World Turns and I didn't know how much I have missed a good soap opera!    Did you ever watch any?  I have been seeing episodes from the 1960's and 70's.  How different life was then.  Not much like today at all.   How I wish we could go back.
Carol Burnett did a take off of this soap on her TV program.  It was called As the Stomach Turns and featured regular characters like Mother Marcus, played by Harvy Korman.   
TV was better then with more laughter and no profanity.   Even programs like Gunsmoke or Mannix kept violence off screen.    You can find them on YouTube or on  TV if you have certain channels.
I even miss the laundry soap commercials that are preferable to the constant drug sales. 

I leave you with these true words from Mark Twain...

  1. I used to watch Days of our Lives, and I do miss those old shows that were always safe to watch with your children. Have a blessed week, Annie!

  3. Years and years ago, before I went to work, I watched General Hospital faithfully. I also watched the very first episode of All My Children. I don't watch soaps anymore, no reason, I just don't. Hope you have a great week ahead.♥
