» Julie Andrews And The New Version Of My Favourite Things jeansmenopausalmoment.com: New Beginnings At Mid Life

Here's my absolute favourite company - GVO - hosting with a difference!

Julie Andrews Do you remember The Sound Of Music?

Too young?

Well don’t stop reading because what follows is the sense of humour you’ll hopefully possess one day.

Julie Andrews, the lovely singer and actress has just commemorated her 69th Birthday, and to prove she still has what it takes, gave a special appearance in Manhattan, where she performed an updated version of the legendary, “My Favourite Things”

I’m sure you know the tune, so I dare you to sing along with the new words.

They’re great and unfortunately, so true!

Botox 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 favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, 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 favorite things.

When the pipes leak, when the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite 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 favorite things.

Back pain, 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 favorite 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.

Not surprisingly Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes with repeated encores.

Isn’t it nice to find someone with such a great sense of humour?

Keep smiling.
