Just in case anyone is curious, this morning at the Garage Sales, I bought 3 Little Orphan Annie plates, a Little Orphan Annie book and 2 Little Orphan Annie mugs. The whole kit and kaboodle cost 10.00! Aileen Quinn who portrayed Annie in the movie, lived down the street from me when I was growing up. She went to Grey Nun’s Academy and I went to public school so I didn’t really know her. I remember coming back from Trick or Treating one year and my mother telling me that Aileen Quinn had come by dressed in Kabuki. I was beside myself! Earlier I had knocked down and stole candy from a little Kabuki girl. Oops! She moved to New Jersey maybe a year after the movie came out. At any rate, Lisa and I just loved Annie and both really wished we could have been orphans. And now we have 3 Annie plates that will keep my Yul Brynner plate company.

sugar and spice and everything groovy
Remember when we first met i showed u my Hermit crab named Kabuki, that was in my purse!!!?
“both really wished we could have been orphans” – perish the thought! 🙁
Ian– believe me we never truly wanted to be orphans. We did on the other hand want to be part of the singing, dancing, happy orphans who were so hilarously verbally abused by Carol Burnett in the movie Annie.
Yeah, I remember watching Orphan Train and that changed my mind very quickly.
Erin– OF COURSE! I also remember how after he died you kept him on the front porch. 🙂
so tragic!
