Las Madres June 2009

We meet every Saturday morning at 9 am at Le Boulanger at San Felipe and Yerba Buena. There is a Starbucks across from it if you need something "special" to go with your bagel or pastry. Our field trip this month will be June 20th to MegaByte Pizza in the Canyon Creek Plaza to try out one of their new weekend breakfasts.

"My Favourite Things" - Julie Andrew's version for an AARP fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall to commemorate her 69th birthday.

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Cadillac's and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things..
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short, shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.
