Happy Birthday Heather

 

Today is Heather McCartney's birthday! I believe she is now 62 years old.  Heather has chosen to remove herself from the spotlight, and really, who can blame her?  But that doesn't mean that we can't wish her all the best on her birthday!

We all stand together

 Did you all go check out the remastered animated "Rupert and the Frog Song?"    It is Rupert the Bear's 100th birthday and so the animated short from 1984 was all fixed up and put on Youtube just today.   

I found it to be really enjoyable.   I had only seen the short on an old bootleg VHS with washed out colors.   The colors for the 2020 version are very rich and beautiful.   I especially like the colorful hot air balloons.   

Hearing Paul McCartney's voice as Rupert and the little boy frog is great.   Paul and Linda helped write the script.   

My complaint?   Youtube sticks stupid commercial ads in the middle of "We all stand together."   There were WAY too many ads for a 15 minute video.   

  

Give my regards to Rupert the bear
