Being it's Saturday I'm joining in on  *Saturday 9*  for today. Hope You join in too. It's a fun meme.

Cher
If I Could Turn Back Time (1989)
1) The official video for this song was filmed on board the battleship USS Missouri. When is the last time you were on a boat or ship?  
January 2006 Cruise Ship From San Diego to the Mexican Riviera with my sister, brother and sister-in-law. The ocean was smooth the 10 day trip was fantastic. 

2) This song was written by Diane Warren. Ms. Warren has written love songs recorded by Celine Dion, Toni Braxton, LeAnn Rimes and more, yet she's never married and has really only had one serious romantic relationship. She acknowledges this makes her an unusual spokeswoman for the glory and pain of love. When you have a relationship problem, who do you go to for advice?
This definitely does not apply to me. At my age others come to me for advice. 😉

3) In this song, Cher wishes she could turn back time and have a different conversation with a former lover, changing what she said to him. Here at Saturday 9, we're not so ambitious with our time travel. We're only going back to yesterday. Is there anything you'd do differently?
I doubt it. My life was what it was and is. Being I controlled it, I only have myself to answer to.

4) In 1966, Cher and her then-husband Sonny sang at a private birthday party for Jacqueline Kennedy. At first, Cher didn't want to do it, thinking that performing to a small gathering would be awkward. But it turned out to be a wonderful opportunity for her. That night, she met Diana Vreeland, the editor of Vogue. Vreeland liked Cher's look so much she set up a photo shoot. Cher, who always loved experimenting with hair and makeup, enjoyed the shoot immensely. Tell us about a social gathering where you had an unexpectedly good time.
With me it's always family get togethers for parties and holidays and especially seeing my daughter and grandchildren as they live in different states.

5) At that same party, Cher said she was surprised by how big Jackie's hands were. Do you like your hands?  
I used to when I was young and they were smooth.

6) One night, before a performance in Detroit, Cher saw a little furry something under one of her tour buses. It was a kitten that that she named Mr. Big, hoping he would grow into the name. He did, and the tomcat was her constant companion for four years until he died of a congenital heart ailment. She has said that she will "never not miss him." Is there a furry companion who has a special place in your memories?  
Yes many, many years ago. My dog Rebel who was a black pure mix Belgian Shephard and Labrador.  (Her parents had papers. They eloped 😄)  She lived for 19 years.

7) Cher recently appeared in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again. It's the second movie based on the music of ABBA. What's your favorite ABBA song?
Fernando and Dancing Queen.

8) In 1989 -- the year this song was popular -- Mattel released a series of special "Scarlett O'Hara" Barbie doll to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Gone with the Wind. Did you enjoy the classic movie? Have you read the book?
Yes, Gone With The Wind and the movie with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. I enjoyed Margaret Mitchell's novel more.

9) Random question: Check your spam folder and tell us one of the subject lines.
Sorry no spam in my folder and I rarely get any.
