My name is Harold. I'm 50 years old, single, and living in the suburbs of Philadelphia with my brother and our 4 cats. I work as a group home supervisor for the developmentally disabled where I supervise the health, well being and daily living activities of 10 mentally retarded adults. I have two great families; my biological family, and my family of friends. I love music, singer/songwriters, movies, Classic Hollywood, great actresses, reading, singing and karaoke, traveling and visiting world cities, camping, especially chilly nights around the campfire, big shade trees and bird songs, pistachios, roller coasters and amusement parks, mexican and chinese food, and being lazy.
My good friend...I hope you have a great holiday. I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and the best in the new year. Thanks for your friendship.
In a touching ending and the film's most famous scene, while holding his daughter Zuzu in his arms, George glances down at the pile of money. His eye catches what is buried on the pile - Clarence's copy of Tom Sawyer left for him as a gift. Zuzu opens it and they find an inscription written in it: It's A Wonderful Life-Where Are You Christmas? Have a Wonderful Life!! Love & Blessings KittyRose
War hero Dennis Morgan becomes the object of a publicity stunt staged by magazine publisher Sidney Greenstreet. The corpulent print mogul announces that Morgan has won a Christmas dinner, to be prepared by the magazine’s housekeeping expert Barbara Stanwyck in her own Connecticut home. The catch: Not only does Stanwyck not have a home in Connecticut, but she’s never been in a kitchen in her life! She also doesn’t have a husband (as her articles claim), so Stanwyck’s erstwhile beau Reginald Gardiner is pressed into service as the hubby. As for the cooking, that will be handled by master chef S. Z. “Cuddles” Sakall. This solves everything, right? Wishing you a week filled with wonderful surprises. Love & Blessings KittyRose
