You’re on the list! Glad to have you on board!
Hi, there! Lucy was unforgetable and a really funny actress! I´ve written something about her, too. Can I be in the blogathon?

Hey Brandie, here’s my post:
“”I love Lucy”: breaking Language & Cultural Barriers”
http://via-51.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-love-lucy-breaking-language-cultural.html
Can wait to read the rest of the posts!
And I can’t wait to read yours! It’s a GREAT topic!
I’ve read it — it’s wonderful! Provides an angle to “I Love Lucy” I had never really thought about before.
Hi! I’ve only just heard about this via Via Margutta (sorry, couldn’t resist that one) and would love to join in the fun if possible. I’ve posted about Lucy here: http://voteforgracie.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-lucille-ball-and-coffee-creamer.html
Either way look forward to reading

I’m so sorry my post isn’t done yet, ladies! I am out of town and therefore out of my usual blogging rhythm. Is there a cut-off time that I MUST get my entry posted by?
Not at all, Caroline–just let us know when you get it posted! 😀
Dunno about where you are, but where I am it’s still technically the 6th, which means this so isn’t late! http://garbolaughs.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/big-street-1942/ Apologies again.
