Stella's Skating Party

February 3, 2023 -

Stella McCartney sure knows how to throw a party!  But then again -- she also knows a bunch of amazing people to include on the guest list.  

 

Barbara Walters - Rest in Peace

 

Sad news tonight that journalist Barbara Walters has passed away.   I have always seen her are a pioneer as a women's journalist.   She did things that typically only men had been allowed to do before and made a name for herself.   She became known as the woman that could make any interviewee cry.    I know I watched plenty of her interviews over the years and watched her on 20/20 with Hugh Downs.    I lost a little respect for her when she interviewed John Lennon's murderer in prison, but I also knew that she was doing a job, and interviewing killers was part of that job.  I just hated that she gave him publicity.    I thought her original idea for The View television show was good.  To have women of all different ages, races, beliefs, and backgrounds sit around a table and discuss the topics of the day and then have those women interview famous actors and musicians was something that had never been done on daytime television in the 1990s.   Sadly, I think the program has now strayed far away from her initial idea, and I haven't watched it in at least a decade. 

In 1981 Barbara Walters was the first person to speak to a Beatle after John's murder.   Her interview with Ringo Starr remains one of the lasting interviews from that time to really display how the world felt after John's death (yes, she made Ringo cry).

The craziest thing was discovered when Paul started dating Nancy Shevell.   Barbara Walters casually says something on The View about how Nancy is her cousin!    Suddenly Ms. Walters is part of Paul's extended family.  She always stands out in the photos of Paul and Nancy's wedding because she wears a stunning red outfit.  

My deepest condolences go out to all of Barbra Walter's family and friends during this challenging time.  

Wonderful Christmas

Have a loving Thanksgiving

 

Paul sent me this lovely photo of him and Nancy today and wished me a happy Thanksgiving.   Alright -- I am sure he sent it to all of you as well, and I am not special, but there is just something fun about seeing the name "Paul McCartney" come across my text messages and, for a second, thinking that Paul and I are old buddies and he is just sending me a pic of him and his wife.  

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Just like us -- but not really

 October 15, 2022-

Paul and Nancy are spotting walking around London.   And we notice that Nancy is wearing a Beatles sweatshirt!   I've been known to wear a Beatles sweatshirt!  However -- mine was not designed by Stella McCartney and sure did not cost me over $400!!   But I do have some cute Birkenstocks, sort of like Nancy, but I would never be seen in publish wearing socks and Birkenstocks.    However -- this is a good reason to continue my obsession with Paul's socks.

We had an ice cream date....

 

August 18, 2022 -- I can't imagine going out for ice cream with my family or friends and there is Paul McCartney going out for ice cream with his family.   

For the dogs

 June 3, 2022 -- Paul, Nancy and Arthur visit some dogs at a rescue shelter.
