I'm still working on my progressive blog-entry ( Seven Things I Want To Share With You ) but wanted to take some time out to make a tribute to my grandpa on the 143rd anniversary of his birth.

Celebrating 143rd ann. of Grandpa's birth w/one of our fav songs:
At this point, I used up my remaining character-per-Tweet allowance to post the url to link to the song:
This Old House by Rosemary Clooney 1954

The first comment I left was...
What you would find Grandpa and me (along with my folks and anybody else who might be visiting us then) watching on most Saturday nights:
An Episode Of Your Hit Parade That Aired In March Of 1954
The next comment I left was...
Here are some more episodes of that memorable show:
A Collection Of Several More Episodes Of Your Hit Parade
About that time, I noticed that it was quickly heading towards 11 AM and that I needed to think about getting ready to head down to lunch so that I wouldn't miss it, so I left the following comment next...
Going to lunch now but will be back with more memories.
When I returned, I made a couple more posts (shown below) before beginning this blog-entry you're reading now...
After we watched Your Hit Parade, this is what we watched next -- and, soon after that, it was bedtime.
A Collection Of Episodes Of Gunsmoke
Johnny Cash & Family -- Will The Circle Be Unbroken
