Hi everyone. We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays .
After I posted the selfies yesterday, Penny decided to pose with Santa too.
Remember how I told you I was going to read on Christmas Eve? This is what I read.
Lucy &Desi: The Love Letters by Lucie Arnaz just came out last month. I have always been a big fan of Lucy, so I was eager to read this. Their daughter found the letters with her mother’s belongings after she passed in 1989. She felt they were too private to share back then, but for some reason (probably money) she decided to share them.
Lucy saved all the letters that her and Desi wrote to one another when he was in the service. She saved the letters despite being happily married to someone else when she passed. I really enjoyed the book but felt strange reading something so personal. Copies of the actual letters are in the book as well as a typed version to make them easier to read. There are also a lot of photos too.
Rosie will be here tomorrow with a recap of Christmas and probably some complaints of all 3 kids being here Monday.













Awww, cute picture of Penny and Santa! XO
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Oh, Penny , we are glad you decided to grace Santa’s Lap!
Dusty, did you help your mom read that book? (At least I think that is Dusty…)
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, she did. XO
Sweet photo of you with Santa, Penny.
That sounds like an interesting book, although I do have mixed feelings about reading the private letters.
As you say, it was probably for money!
Thank you. 🙂 Had to me for the money, sadly. xO
Will be leaving in an hour for the hospital. Precious would probably love to have Brody come visit her.
I am praying and Brody is purring for all to go well. XO
Sweet pic of Penny, and Santa. That sounds like an interesting book. I always liked Lucy. I look forward to Rosie’s gossip.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Chaplin: “That does sound like an interesting and very personal book, and we agree that probably money was involved in the decision to release it now.”
Charlee: “Our Dada says, ‘See also every time Fleetwood Mac goes back out on tour even though they hate each other’, whatever that means.”
Money makes people do strange things.
Penny you are Santa’s nice list now
I agree I would have felt strange reading intimate letters
Hugs Cecilia
Yes, she is always on the nice list. XO
Penny snuck in at the last minute!
Lucille Ball was a remarkable person, and Desilu sponsored “Star Trek”, the original series, so I’ll always be thankful.
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, my hubby and I are thankful too. XO
Awesome photo Penny ~ hugs,

Penny is so adorable. Cute pic.
I’ve always been a big fan of Lucy. This looks like a great book. I’ll have to look for it.
Thank you. 🙂 I got my copy from the library.
We’re glad Penny did a Santa photo!
We are too. 🙂
Good for Penny! Dusty is really getting into these book reviews. I will be looking forward to Rosie’s recap of Christmas. I bet she will have something to say about the kids being there today. I hope you had fun with them.
Thank you. 🙂 We had a fun -and tiring day. XO
I’ve got letters from my grandparents, they are very special. Even if my grands were famous, I don’t know if I’d be willing to do this, no matter the money. Oh, well.
I understand. I would never publish personal letters like that. XO
This read does seem a little too personal. Your family images are so precious. Hugs, my dear.
Yes, it is good, but I did feel like an intruder. Thank you. 🙂 XO
I’ve heard about that book! It sounds wonderful.
It is good.
