Hoss and Joe and Adam Know Every Rock and Pine! ... Bonanza Celebrate 50 Years As One Of America's Favorite TV Shows.
Hoss and Joe and Adam Know Every Rock and Pine! ... Bonanza Celebrate 50 Years As One Of America's
Favorite TV Shows. How many know that those words are part of the lyrics of the actual theme song from the popular show? Loren Green ... Ben Cartwright from the series released an album in the late 60's with the same title. As a young girl visiting my Grandma in the tiny Colorado town of Walden I listened and listened to that record until the words were etched into my brain.
This week one of America's iconic television series celebrates 50 years of family entertainment with activities and events in Nevada and California. For die hard fans there is even a scheduled DVD Release of the first few seasons.
Living in Northern Nevada in the vicinity of Bonanza's historic setting endears this particular TV series to me more than most. I have fond memories of the Sunday evening ritual Hucklleberry Hound, the Wonderful World of Disney and then ... Bonanza! My mom never missed her favorite show! My sisters and I fell asleep many Sunday evenings listening to that thundering intro and watching the Cartwrights live and work on the Ponderosa..
Today, through the miracle of TVLAND, I have a new Sunday ritual. Today I spend many Sunday mornings watching Ben, Adam, Hoss and Little Joe ride the Ponderosa again ... this time with my 9 year old grandson, Gabe!
As when I was his age, Gabe loves to see the local sites on TV and always waits to point out where we live on the blazing map maps that signals that another Bonanza episode is about to begin.

One of Maxine's Best!!!
Here's a little internet chuckle shared with me by my sister in Bow, Washington. Enjoy!
One of Maxine's Best!!!
Minorities
We need to show more sympathy for these people....
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day.
I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops!
Doesn't it seem strange that many politicians are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops, and are even threatening to defund them?
Bo The Dog! LOL Friday ... This Would Be Funny If It Weren't So True!!!
Here's an internet funny from my good friend Chuck Wagner!
Bo The Dog! LOL Friday ... This Would Be Funny If It Weren't So True!!!
My father-in-law had prostate surgery. We brought him to the hospital at 7:30 a.m., and he was operated on at eight. We were amazed when the hospital called at noon to tell us he could go home.
Two months later our bloodhound, Bo also had prostate surgery. When I brought
him in, I asked the veterinarian what time I should pick him up. The vet told me Bo would remain overnight.
"Overnight?" I said."My father-in-law came home the same day."
The vet looked at me and said,
"Bo's not on Medicare!"

I Love Activerain! I'm Really Hooked ... It's become a Passion! I'm Also Up to My Ears in Douglas Pop Warner!
I miss my AR Friends and miss the AR Interaction! Worse ... I feel that I'm letting you down by not contributing!
Truth is ... I'm flat tired!
Youth football in Douglas County, Nevada is a year round job for us, one that my husband, Jim Valentine, and I have enjoyed for over 20 years. We Love Douglas Pop Warner and We Love These Kids!
We started when our twins ... now 29 years old ... were Mitey Mites! Now we have grandsons and grand-nephews playing!
We start our day early selling real estate in Carson Valley, Nevada and end it usually around 9:00 PM after we close the fields! We are fundraising, administrating, and overseeing hundreds of kids and adults every day as these young men and women experience football and cheerleading.
So ... right now ... and actually, for the next 12 weeks, our contributions to Activerain may be sparse.
Rest assured we are indulging Another Passion and will be back soon!
