(You Are) My Special Angel
“The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing
but sand;
-
George Eliot |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I no
doubt
must have chosen today's song three years ago today because I like to make myself cry. It
did a fine job then and it's
doing another fine job now.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Special_Angel:
| "My Special Angel" is a
popular
song by
Jimmy Duncan, published in
1957. The song became a big crossover hit in 1957 for Bobby Helms. "My Special Angel" peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart[1] and also spent four weeks at number one on the Country chart [2]. The single made the R&B chart as well peaking at number eight [3]. The backing vocals were sung by the Anita Kerr Singers. It was revived in 1968 by The Vogues, a vocal group founded in Pennsylvania who had already scored Top 10 hits in the U.S. with the songs "You're the One" and "Five O'Clock World". This cover of "My Special Angel" also reached number seven on the Hot 100 chart [4]; it fared better on the Easy Listening chart (which would later become known as the Adult Contemporary chart), where it spent two weeks at #1. In the United Kingdom, a version recorded by Malcolm Vaughan spent 14 weeks on the charts, peaking at #3. |

IT'S HOWDY BLOOPER TIME:
From My #5 Son,
Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97) of IL - 06/17/13, 11:14 PM - "Typo":
I believe you have a bit
of a typo in your Father's Day
newsletter. I know you sometimes collect a lot of yarn, but I didn't
think you had so much that
 
Brent needed to mow it. Hehe.
Love you. |
From My
Daughter, Adrienne Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL / American School, IL) of NC
(temporarily of MA)
- 06/17/13, 11:45 PM - "Typo":
| Your
newsletter for Father's Day
says that
Brent mowed your yarn and not
yard. Lol Anyway, I'm glad the car is fixed and y'all had fun.... Well, I love you! Webby 
Thanks for catching this,
Faniel and Webby! 
That's hysterical!
It was probably prompted by the yarn I was using to crochet
Evey's
baby blanket which had a horrific tangle in it. It looked as though
Brent HAD hit it with the mower! It took me two hours to rectify it
this morning. I spotted your notes last night about
midnight and fixed the silly typo
then. What a hoot!
I
love and miss you both!

It was indeed! Thank
you, Megan - wish you lived closer!

give Linda my apologies when next you see her!

From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 06/17/13 - "Norwegian
Pepper Cookies":
| The Norwegian
Pepper Cookies (Peperkakor) are a long-time favorite around here. For
many years we gathered a few weeks before Yule here to make all sorts of
traditional winter cookies, biscuits, cakes, etc. Now the children who
so eagerly measured and stirred and reached for the first cookies out of
the oven are grown and mostly flown, and it seems everyone is doing
Atkins, or Paleo, or something. The cookies that were always present at
feasts and festivals, along with the stuffed dates and the candied
pecans, have become forbidden fruit. Maybe we should make and eat more
of them. We were a lot skinnier when we ate them with free abandon.
Maybe they have metabolism boosters.

This is the last time I looked
cute. I don't know what happened after that... AWWW! What an adorable shot, Jamey! I'm sorry I wasn't able to sharpen the image more than this, but the spirit of it survives.
Thanks so much!

From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 06/18/13 - "Your Laugh for
Today":
| Squeezer The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried.... over time: weightlifters, longshoremen, etc., but nobody could do it. One day, this scrawny little
fellow wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit came into the bar, and
said in a small voice, "I'd like to try the bet." But the Crowd's laughter turned
to total silence.... as the man clenched his little fist around the
lemon.... and six drops fell into the glass. |

06/18/13 - "Crispy Cheddar
Chicken":
Crispy Cheddar Chicken
2 lbs. chicken tenders or 4 large chicken
breasts
OHHH!
This look so delicious! Thank you, Alice!
You may never fry chicken again
after tasting this baked crispy chicken.
2 sleeves Ritz crackers
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Sauce:
1 10-ounce can cream of chicken soup
2 tablespoon sour cream
2 tablespoon butter
Crush crackers. If using
chicken breasts and not tenders, cut each chicken breast into 3 large
pieces. Pour the milk, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small
pans. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the
mixture around to combine. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and
then the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers.
Then press the cheesy coated chicken into the cracker crumbs and press
it in.
Spray a 9" ×13" pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the
pan. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken. Cover the pan with tin
foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the tin foil, bake
for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are
golden brown and crispy.
In a medium sized sauce pan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour
cream and butter with a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until the
sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.

- 06/17/13:| Down South,
Bubba called his attorney and asked, "Is it true they're suin' the
cigarette companies for causing people to get cancer? "Yes, Bubba, sure is true,” responded the lawyer. "And now someone's suin' them fast food restaurants for making 'em fat and cloggin' their hearts with all them burgers and fries, is that true, mister lawyer?" "Sure is, Bubba. But why you asking?" " 'Cause what I want to know is, I was thinkin' can I sue Budweiser for all them ugly women I've slept with?" |

(You Are) My Special Angel
Written by
Jimmy Duncan (b. 25 June 1935)Recorded by
Bobby Helms (15 Aug 1933 - 19 June 1997), 1957
(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, ooh)
You are my special angel
Sent from up above
The Lord smiled down on me
And sent an angel to love (to love)
You are my special angel
Right from paradise
I know that you're an angel
Heaven is in your eyes
A smile from your lips
Bring the summer sunshine
The tears from your eyes bring the rain
I feel your touch, your warm embrace
And I'm in heaven again
You are my special angel
Through eternity
I'll have my special angel
Here to watch over me
(A smile from your lips)
(Brings the summer sunshine)
(The tears from your eyes bring the rain)
I feel your touch
Your warm embrace
And I'm in heaven again
You are my special angel
Through eternity
I'll have my special angel
Here to watch over me (watch over me)
Here to watch over me
(Angel, angel)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh)
