I couldn't resist playing the
2014 A to Z Challenge
out on a happy note.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by
and made all of April "A Wonderful Day."
and made all of April "A Wonderful Day."
Here's one of the biggest Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah days in my life
The day I met Luke Skywalker - Mark Hamill!
"It will be a day long remembered."
He really is THE nicest guy in the galaxy -
far far away or any other.
CONGRATULATIONS
to everyone in the A to Z!
It's been a blast.
It's been a blast.
See you in the blogosphere.
And - cue the music...
And - cue the music...

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

Deletewonderful feeling, wonderful day...well done you getting to the end.
ReplyDeleteGreat feeling, but I do admit my blogging muscles need a good rest.
DeleteDid he sing "Luke Be A Jedi Tonight" for you? Awesome either way!
ReplyDeleteNo, but I did. Uber-geek here.
DeleteWow, very cool. I would have mugged him for that jacket, though!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing up and great to have met you :)
Darn, wish I'd thought about the jacket heist at the time.
DeleteLucky you!! Congratulations on completing the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteI still pinch myself. Thanks goodness I have the pix to prove it.

You saved the Star Wars posts for the end - a great finale! So awesome you got to meet him :) Congratulations on finishing!!! I'll be back around to read your blog for sure :)
ReplyDeleteI showed amazing restraint with my Star Wars obsession. One of these A to Z's I'll have to do ALL Star Wars ALL the time.
DeleteAwesome photograph, and thank you for the ear worm LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rhonda. I've had a blast visiting during the A to Z.
DeleteThat picture would impress at least 75 percent of the civilized world...maybe more! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteI question the relevance of the remaining 25%.
DeleteGreat post! How exciting to meet Mark Hamill. He is amazing in Star Wars- and I loved listening to him on the audio of The Spiderwick Chronicles (his voices are awesome. :) Congrats on finishing A-Z!!!! :)

He did some amazing character voices when he came to our school. I was wowed.
DeleteIf you hadn't mentioned who he was, I never would have guessed!
ReplyDeleteWhen he first introduced himself to the kids, he said, "I'll bet you're all wondering what Luke Skywalker's grandfather is doing here." Great sense of humor. The kids knew him best from his voice work.
DeleteAWESOME!! And that's so funny--I just read the comment above, too. (re: Luke Skywalker's grandfather!! Bwahahaha).
ReplyDeleteApril seemed to fly right by and I missed reading so many A to Z posts =(
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the challenge, Leslie!
Yay for finishing A-Z! You rock!
