Late this morning, as I was trying to get my body to wake up, I scrolled through my YouTube feed and found this song:
The only time I really heard this song was in the movie Acrooss the Universe so I kind of enjoyed watching this clip and seeing and hearing the Beatles so young! My cousinT, Shannon, is a huge Beatles fan and it also made me think of her!
I texted her Tuesday night because my Mom wanted to watch Mr. Holland’s Opus. I had seen the movie before, a long time ago, so it was vaguely familiar. Toward the end of the movie, when the high school is putting on a review as their senior play, it got me thinking about when I performed in a review for my school play during my senior year.
I asked Shannon about that because we both painted a bunch of stools black for the play. We did this at night and it took us a few times because there were a lot of stores to be painted! She sent me this picture in response to my text:
I laughed at this picture and knew that she remembered! So after I shared that Beatles video on Facebook, I realized it was Thursday! So I had to post this picture as my #TBT!
As my Mom washed my hair today, she suggested that we call Shannon. I was completely down do you that! My mom and I both had great conversation with her. She clarified that this picture was taken after the performance and we took it because we were so proud of the paint job we had performed on so many of the stools!
We laughed and talked until it was time for me to blow dry my hair. She even knew that in order for me to blow dry it, it’s, “A three act play!” I have smiled since talking with her and I think that is why my Mom suggested that we talk to her on the phone. I was feeling a little bummed out today and my cousinT, Shannon, was the perfect boost for me!
