Checking In

G and I are at the coast house. My camera has dead batteries so no photos. What is a post without a photo? The coast is calm and beautiful... we are painting the upstairs loft room, eating yummy food, walking dogs and planning a big garage sale for here which included cleaning out the garage and a trip to the dump. It's amazing how much got accumulated in eight years. Today a special lunch with our neighbor Mary at the yummy seafood place in Newport. Home next week, more interesting posts then.
love, Janice

This post is for Corinne who has genetic genius musical taste!

 

I'm at the coast for some R and R. Before I left I was making Ginger sing this song, but we couldn't remember the lyrics. I hope you love them as much as I do. I still don't know the words because I think they are singing in Italian???

For those you interested in the Kessler Sisters:
Alice and Ellen Kessler (born 20 August 1936 in Nerchau, Germany) are twins popular in Europe, especially Germany and Italy, from the 1950s and 1960s and until today for their singing, dancing and acting.
In the USA, they were not as popular, but appeared in the 1963 film Sodom and Gomorrah as dancers and appeared on the cover of Life Magazine in that year.
Their parents, Paul and Elsa, sent them to ballet classes at the age of six, and they joined the Leipzig Opera's child ballet program at age 11. When they were 18, their parents used a visitor's visa to escape to West Germany, where they performed at the Palladium in Düsseldorf.
They moved to Italy in 1960 and gradually moved to more serious roles. At the age of 40, they agreed to pose on the cover of the Italian edition of Playboy. That issue became the fastest-selling Italian Playboy up until that point.[citation needed]
They moved back to Germany in 1986 and currently live in Munich. They have received numerous awards from both the German and Italian governments for promoting German-Italian cooperation through their work in show business.
