Say It Isn't So....

Wow....it finally happened.  Since 1956 it's been on the air.  I've watched it off and on since I was a little girl.   I used to sneak a show here or there in Tyler over holiday or summer breaks.  Routing for Dusty and Lily.....never really liking that rebel Holden.  I watched it off and on as an adult (at times more interested in it than others).  Holden turned out to be okay, until he wasn't, that is.  The lies, the affairs, the heart breaks and the new loves....the drama, the families with unlimited amounts of wealth.....Okay, it probably wasn't the best use  of my time, but it was mindless, entertaining fun that was new everyday...no reruns.  An hour a day for many years of my adult life I spent watching this show that is now coming to a close.  Kinda makes me sad.  Goodbye Oakdale. So long Barbara Ryan, Jack & Carly, and Dusty Donovan.  We loved to hate you Craig Montgomery and James Stenbeck. Thanks for the romance Lily and Holden!  You were sweet Bob and Kim. It's not over until September, so I think I'll start taping it again just for old times sake.
