The Blizzard has arrived! It is coming down hard and it is a Winter WONDERLAND OUTSIDE! Of course all I want to do is stay in, drink hot chocolate and watch old movies, however I have to go to work and serve people BBQ. It’s ok, It’ll be kind’ve fun!
Lucy buys a dress and Ricky says he won’t pay for it, so Lucy looks for a job. She finds a babysitting job for $5 and hour and decides to do it. She later finds out the the one boy she’s suppose to be babysitting are really evil twin boys. The boys and the mother are suppose to perform at an amateur contest, but the mother won’t be able to make it so she asks Lucy if she’ll do it and Lucy will keep the $100. Lucy and the boys perform “Rag Time Cowboy Joe”. They end up winning with Lucy’s added “improvisation” dance thanks to the help of Elmer the frog jumping down her shirt.
Being in this blizzard I think about Lucille as a little girl playing in the snow dreaming of being “Lucy”. Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, NY. Once her family saw her passion for theater they sent her to a school in New York City for theatre. Living in New York and doing some theater and modeling she got to California as quickly as she could. I think she was in her early 20’s. She felt really at home in California. She loved the lifestyle, the people and the weather. She never had intention to go back to New York, rather she moved her mother and grandfather out to LA with her once she had the money. Her family always came first, her warm heart was meant for warm California. Even though I will always love New York City!
