  2. Thank you for sharing kind wishes for the new year and all the wonderful stories that you have shared with us!!.. 🙂

    Hope you and yours have the wonderfulest new year ever, all your wishes come true and until we meet again..
    May flowers always line your path
    and sunshine light your way,
    May songbirds serenade your
    every step along the way,
    May a rainbow run beside you
    in a sky that’s always blue,
    And may happiness fill your heart
    each day your whole life through.
    (Irish Saying)

  4. Judy Garland has always been one of my faves. She was incredibly talented and beautiful. Her life was a shame but for so long she managed to keep it hidden.

  5. Judy was probably the greatest entertainer of the 20th century — at least, I can’t think of anyone I would put above her. Having seen almost all of her movies, I’d say my favorites are THE WIZARD OF OZ (of course), MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, THE CLOCK, THE PIRATE, IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME, and JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG. I know I’ve left out A STAR IS BORN, but this is a subjective list, and while I like that film, I don’t like it as much as the others.

    • Yes!! Another Judy fan! It’s so good to talk to you! I love your list and I would add Summer Stock because I just love her and Gene Kelly in that one. When she sings on the porch and doesn’t know he’s there. It’s priceless. But it’s so hard to narrow it all down. lol I 100% agree with you about Judy being the greatest entertainer of the 20th century. 🙂

  6. Such sweet quotes from the adorable Judy Garland.

    I was just watching the 1938 film with her and Mickey Rooney two weeks ago. I love classic cinema, especially noirs.

    Congratulations on your five hundred posts! I wish you many more on your wonderful journey through writing.

  13. Kymber, I have got an idea for you, I have tried to follow your blog using the WordPress follow and it isnt functioning properly, I follow it as a reply to your activities on WLTOP and it automatically unfollows, I was going to suggest maybe adding the wordpress follower widget to your site if you want, then friends like me could follow you.

    • Thank you so much, David. I’m glad you liked the quote. Judy was a brilliant singer and wrote some poetry, too. When her daughter Liza Minnelli asked her for advice in starting her own singing/acting career, Judy told her to, “Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else.”

      I wish her life had been a little easier and she had lived just a little longer. xoxo

      Happy New Year, David, and may your life be full of blessings. 🕛🥳🎉🎊🥂🎆

      • I like that quote also – here is another one along those lines. ” Be yourself, everyone else is taken”
        Did you read Judy’s biography? I remember my grade 7 music teacher talking about her a lot. It’s amazing that I even remember my grade 7 teacher, ha ha – he was Alec McLeod.
