"I never told my ambitions and efforts and failures to anyone. I listened unmoved to the sneers and ridicule of various relatives who thought my scribbling rank folly and waste of time. That never disturbed me at all. Down, deep down, under all discouragement and rebuff I knew I would arrive someday." - Lucy Maud Montgomery

Easter Parade (1948)


When I was 13 I had the VHS, the soundtrack AND I performed Judy's parts 'til I dropped.

I will never be as cool like that again.

93-year old Mary Ellis flies a Spitfire




Found this gem on YouTube. The original video is from 2010 when she was 93. You can also read a recent article published just this past March 10 about Mary Ellis, now 98 years old, who is still active and flying her precious Spitfire. Here's a link:

Mary Ellis was a Spitfire pilot in WW2. At 98, she still flies

I'll write a lot more on this, but it is 2am and I have to go to sleep!

She sings: "I said to hear you get in the groove".

Forty years before Madonna.
