Saturday 9 Gilmore Girls

Where You Lead

Welcome to Saturday: 9.  

Hosted by Sam!

Where You Lead (1971)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This is the theme of The Gilmore Girls, a TV show that ran from 2000 to 2007. It recently enjoyed renewed popularity as a reboot. Were you a fan?

Never saw it!

2) The show is about thirtysomething Lorelai Gilmore, her teenage daughter Rory, and her parents, Richard and Emily. The four of them had dinner together every Friday night. Who did you have dinner with on Friday? What was on the menu?

I ate with Hubs,  Birdie and  Lady Bug!!!  We, girls, made homemade pizzas!! They were  delicious!

3) Lorelai is outgoing and talkative. How about you? Are you seldom at a loss for words?

I  am much more  talkative than I used to be...I grew up a loner, an only child who was very comfortable in my skin  but  super shy  toward others..  Now  I am pretty out going! 

4) Rory dreamed of going to an Ivy League school and then becoming a broadcast journalist. When you were in high school, what were your ambitions?

I couldn't decide between being an interior decorator or a teacher.

5) Rory's grandfather (and Lorelai's dad) went to Yale and performed with the Whiffenpoofs, Yale's famous a cappella group. Have you ever sung in front of an audience?

I have sung in  large church choirs  for many years...  I sang in a college  group  for  a year.

6) Rory's grandmother (and Lorelai's mother) Emily was very active in civic organizations and worked hard on the Hartford Zoological Society's Annual Silent Auction. Have you ever attended an auction? 

Oh, yes.  One of my parents best friends  worked for a transfer  truck company and they would have furniture  overstock  auctions  back  when Hubs and I were trying to furnish our home..  We have items for just about every room from the auctions..  I loved auctions...

7) Alexis Bledel, who played Rory, went on to appear in Mad Men and The Handmaid's Tale. Of these three shows -- Gilmore Girls, Mad Men and The Handmaid's Tale -- which would you prefer to binge watch? I suppose Mad Men..  

8) Carole King originally wrote this week's song, "Where You Lead," for her Tapestry album. Do you have a favorite Carole King song?

9) Random question: If zoo animals could talk, which animal do you imagine would be the rudest?

Wildebeest
