Happy Birthday Ethel Merman!(1908-1984) “Lucy and Viv and I decided to get together for a hen party at Lucy’s house in Beverly Hills. She pulled out some old scotch and the three of us got progressively snockered. Then Lucy decided she wanted to do our hair. She had a little mock beauty parlor thing in the back of the house. Viv and I were drunk enough to let her. My God what we ended up looking like...we were hysterical with laughter! The next day Lucy threw a bridal shower for me, as I was about to make my disaster with Ernie Borgnine.” (Referring to her one month marriage to Ernest Borgnine.) —Ethel Merman #lucilleball #ethelmerman #vivianvance #henparty #henpartyideas #bridalshower #gettingdrunk #scotchwhisky #beautyparlor #hysterical #ernestborgnine #girlsjustwannahavefun #ladiesnightin #broadwaystar #thelucyshow #happybirthday #themerm #broadwaystar #waynelvslcy #drunk https://www.instagram.com/p/Cne_OBTPp_6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This year was... hard. Plain & simple. Elliot struggled with grief, with his homework, with students, etc. But something he never struggled with was loving his teacher, and finding hope, despite it all. I cried when I saw his awards. Thank you for KNOWING my son. 💚📚 #firstdayofschool #lastdayofschool #broadwaystar #hamilton #charactertrait #hope (at Scottsdale Christian Academy - Official school sponsored)
