This could be another
one excuse day because on this day in 1932 my own dear mother was born, Anna
Mae Sammons. Later to marry William Troy Hammond with a last name change that
messed everyone up for the next 54 years. Eventually she bore a son, William Troy
Hammond, Jr. and for that I am forever grateful. Mom was the youngest of seven
children and, at 81; she is the sole surviving member of her immediate family.
My dad passed away in 1982 at the age of 54 so she has lived on her own for the
last 30+ years. She has done well, handled her finances, her sons and her
family well and I only hope and pray that I have inherited my share of her
genes. So celebrate my Mom by going to Walt Disney World today. If it weren’t
for her, I wouldn’t exist and neither would this blog.
My cousin, Mark, My aunt Delores and my Mom, 1987.
On this day in 2008,
Disney-MGM Studios changed over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you like me
you still say MGM from time to time. It’s okay, just join me in loving the Rock
‘N’ Roller Coaster, The Tower of Terror, Beauty and the Beast on stage and all
the great Street-mosphere actors. And, so we don’t forget our Star Wars fans
and family, maybe you should go right now and ride Star Tours. You can ride it
several times and see how many endings you can get. I can only ride it once
because after that I know the ending I get and it’s not good for anyone.
Hey, my Mom shares a
birthday with Nicolas Cage. Since you are already at Hollywood Studios, stand
under the big hat and scream, I am the real sorcerer’s apprentice and my hat is
out of control. Or not.
Remember, your best
excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
Happy 81st birthday Ann. Bill read and enjoyed your blog. Keep it up!! i love you. Can't wait until be go back to disney. Hopefully, soon. (Hint)
