Off the Bookshelf: THIS TIME TOGETHER, Laughter and Reflection, by Carol Burnett

What a lot of fun!!!

Audiobook from Audible.

Brought up great memories of watching the Carol Burnett show when we were kids. That was our regularly scheduled show on Saturday night -- and the other nights of the week, when the network moved them around. We followed faithfully.

This memoir, written and narrated by Carol Burnett, was great fun and far too short.

Very timely, too. I had just finished listening to it a few days before news came of the death of Tim Conway (Cleveland, Ohio native!), who was a beloved, incredibly talented and funny regular on the show.

I loved listening to how she got her start, her childhood, the chances she took, the funny mishaps and meetings with famous people along the way. Even TV stars get starstruck and suffer foot-in-mouth disease when meeting other famous people!

Thanks for the memories and the laughter, Carol.
