Today is Vanna White's birthday....and what makes this a blog worthy subject you may wonder? If by chance you have no idea who Vanna White is, she is the lovely lady (always dressed in an eye-catching gown) that spins the wheel on the ever-popular 25 year old TV game show, "Wheel of Fortune." I'll admit that I do not watch this TV show any longer, however while my Mother lived with us, Wheel of Fortune was a daily event. Dinner and clean-up always before 6:30 PM, so we could settle in and watch Vanna and Pat Sajak. All of us would be mesmerized by those empty spaces that eventually spelled a person, place or thing. Always trying to out-guess the spinners with each turn of the wheel. All the while, Vanna clapping her hands together with each spin, each correct guess, each introduction totaling approximately 780 claps per TV show resulting in 28,800 claps per season. Anyone that claps for that many strangers day after day, episode after episode should be blog-worthy material. So Happy Birthday, Vanna, I applaud you.
The following pics have absolutely nothing to do with Vanna's birthday....they are more pics from our quick drive-thru the Arboretum yesterday afternoon. Always, always camera worthy sights to be seen even on a hurried trip.
This reminds me that Spring will come....
This reminds me that winter is still here....

Until next time.....
One and three are witch hazel. A joyous sight to see! Your edit of number 2 is stunning. Happy weekend, Deanna!
ReplyDeleteI live with my 90-year-old mother who does not like to watch TV. Our daily TV routine includes Jeopardy at 11, local news at 11:30, national news at 5:30, local news at 6, and Wheel of Fortune at 6:30. And that's the end of TV for the day in our house. Even though Mother seems to love Wheel, she is forever critical of Vanna's attire and insists that she (Vanna) is madly in love with Pat!
ReplyDeleteOh, BTW, new photos as usual!
Oh, dear, did I say "new photos"? I'm not sure what I meant; I think something like "wonderful," "amazing," or something along those lines. Please disregard the fact that I'm a proofreader! That's embarrassing when you don't proofread your own stuff! I obviously type faster than my brain operates.
ReplyDeleteThe promise of spring is so gorgeous! That Vanna can sure turn a letter...she's particularly good with vowels! Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a fan of Wheel of Fortune. I've always wondered how much Vanna gets paid to turn those letters...too much probably. Oh my, these photos are gorgeous, Deanna! A love their colors...did you use an action on them?
